65%
primary role is water conservation. Generates salinity gradient that allows colecting duct to concemntrate urine.
nephron loop
reabsorbs water and concentrates urine
collecting duct
regulated by hormones - aldesterone, ADH, Parathyroid hormone, atrial natriuretic peptide
distal convoluted tubule.
enzyme that acts on fat _____

3 functions of the lymphatic system?
fluid recovery, immunity, lipid absorption
functions of the spleen?
disposal center for RBC. Filters blood and detects antigens. acts as blood reservoir. blood production in fetus.
enzyme in saliva that kills bacteria
lysozyme
neutrophils killing bacteria and virus
phagocytosis
process by which neutrophils squeeze through capillary walls in responce to inflammatory signals
diapedesis
are gamma globulin proteins that are found in blood or other bodily fluids of vertebrates, and are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses.
antibodies
produced by plasma cells
antibodies
only organ to filter lymph
lymph node
reabsorbs salt and water and is regulated by several hormones
Distal convoluted Loop
Carries out tubular secretion. Removes solutes frm the blood and secretes them into tubular fluid.
proximal convoluted loop
Most sodium reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate is by _________
proximal convoluted loop
blood is initially filtered in the kidneys in a passive, non ATP driven mechanism in the _______________
Glomerulus
A drop in blood pressure causes the kidney to secrete ___________
renin
Hormone that promotes water retention by the kidneys?
ADH
Hormone that promotes sodium retention, which in turn leads to water retention?
Aldosterone
Angiotensin II does what?
raise blood pressure by constricting vessels, reducing GFR, stimulating PCT to reabsorb NaCl and water, stimulates ADH and aldosterone secretion, stimulates thirst
aldosterone secreted by?
adrenal cortex
internal fold in mucosa of hollow organ like st or ub. it is present when empty.
rugae
true or false: ADH controls urine concentration
true
True or false: ALD increases sodium and water resorbtion
true
micturition
act of urinating

amino acids
fats break down into
glycerol and fatty acids
In most areas, the walls of the digestive tract consist of 4 layers:
mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and outer serosa.
functions of saliva
1. begin starch and fat digestion. 2. inhibit bacteria 3. clean teeth 4. binds food together to aid in swallowing 5. moistens mouth
