Nitrogenous waste comes from what process?
Metabilzation of proteins creates N-Waste
What are the 4 types of Nitrogenous wastes?
NH3= Ammonia
Urea
Uric Acid
Creatinine
What are the Less poisonous Forms of Nitrogenous waste?
Urea and Uric Acid
If 1M of CaCL2 in water is is ionized into Ca+ Cl- and Cl-. what is the Osmolarity?
3 osmolarities
What is Osmosis
Water movement to make concentrations equal.
Isotonic concentrations are__________.
Equal
What happens to the blood pressure as salt intake is increased?
Blood water is retained, then blood volume increases, then blood pressure increases.
Anhydrobiosis
A dormant state without water.
What are Osmoregulators?
They use energy for water uptake/loss to maintain osmolarity between a certain range.
What are osmoconformers?
Same blood osmolarity as their surroundings.
Stenohaline
Cannot tolerate high fluctuation in external osmolarity.
Euryhaline
Can tolerate changes in environment's osmolarity.
Transport Epithelia
move solutes in specific directions
(e.g. nasal gland of bird)
What do the animals below excrete?
Fish
Mammals
Birds and insects
Fish = NH3
Mammals =Urea
Birds and insects =Uric Acid
what organ is involved with excretion?
the kidney
What process regulates solute movement
Excretion
Name the 4 main functions of the excretory system.
Filtration
Reabsorption
Secretion
Excretion
What is Filtration?
Filtering of body fluids from capillary to nephron
reabsorption
reclaiming valuable solutes from the nephron into the capilary
Secretion
adding nonessential solutes and waste from the capillary to the nephron.
excretion
Nitrogenous waste, nonessential solutes and water released from the body
What are some solutes reabsorbed into the capilarys
Amino Acids
H2O
Glucose
NaCl
Vitamines
I the kidney what is the glomerulus?
the site where filtration of body fluid begines into the nephron.
Capillary and bowmans Capsule
What is the first part of the nephron after the Glomerulus?
proximal tubule
What is the complete nephron pathway after the glomerulus?
Proximal tubule
loop of Henle
Distal tubule
Collecting duct
If a reabsorption or secretion does not use ATP it is ______
passive transport
Loop of Henle is made of 2 parts.
Descending limb and ascending limb

Kidney
What are the Layers of the Kidney starting from the outside of the kidney?
Cortex
Outer Medulla
Inner Medulla
What feature's size in the Kidney is proportional to the conservation of water
