Human Physiology - Excretory Products & Elimination Questions and Answers

Filtration into the Bowman's capsule is dependent upon what factors? Check all that would apply. the "pores" of the endothelial lining the spaces between the podocytes of the Bowman's capsule the amount of water in the blood being filtered the osmotic pressure of the bowman's capsule

Diabetes Type I is a disease directly related to the endocrine system. Which of the following are correct about Type I diabetes? a) It is sometimes also called juvenile diabetes b) Most often it is caused by obesity c) Patiets have insufficient insulin levels d) Both A and C are correct

The basic functional unit of the mammalian kidney is the nephron. It functions to filter the blood. secrete specific solutes. reabsorbs specific solutes. All of the above are functions of the nephron.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is important in maintaining homeostasis in mammals. ADH is released from the hypothalamus in response to high tissue osmolarity. In response to ADH, the collecting duct and distal tubule in the kidney become more permeable to water, which increases water reabsorption into the capillaries. The amount of hormone released is controlled by a negative feedback loop. Based on the model presented, which of the following statements expresses the proper relationship between osmolarity, ADH release, and urine production? (A) As tissue osmolarity rises, more ADH is released, causing less water to be excreted as urine. (B) As tissue osmolarity rises, less ADH is released, causing less water to be excreted as urine. (C) As tissue osmolarity rises, more ADH is released, causing more water to be excreted as urine. (D) As tissue osmolarity rises, less ADH is released, causing more water to be excreted as urine.

What is the purpose of measuring the glomerular filtration rate? Why do the ureters use smooth muscle contraction to actively move urine to the urinary bladder? Why don't they rely on gravity to move the urine to the inferiorly located bladder? What are some substances eliminated as waste products? What three factors establish and maintain the concentration gradient of the Interstitial fluid of the kidney? Describe the composition of urine and its characteristics. Describe the structure and function of the ureters. Explain the structure of the urinary bladder. How does the urethra of a male and female differ? What steps lead to micturition? At what point does the reflex overcome conscious control?

Where do nitrogenous wastes enter the kidney? Where do they leave?.

Peristaltic waves are O segmental regions of the GI tract. O churning movements of the stomach. O absorptive regions on the small intestine. O waves of muscular contractions that propel contents from one point to another.
