Match each function to its site of action in the nephron. Glomerulus Proximal convoluted tubule Descending limb- of loop of Henle Answer Bank reabsorption of salt only, diluting filtrate Distal convoluted tubule Ascending limb of loop of Henle regulation of NaCl and K+ in bodily fluids by secreting K+ and reabsorbing NaCl filtration of blood p;plasma Collecting duct reabsorption of water only, increasing solute concentration of filtrate secretion of drugs and poisons into nephron lumen transport of filtrate to renal pelvis
Match the nephron structure with its correct description. cap-like structure at the top of each nephron that surrounds the glomerulus area of the nephron impermeable to water movement; active transport of Na+ occurs in this region nutrients (glucose, amino acids, Na+, K+) are actively reabsorbed this large pipe-like channel reclaims water from the filtrate that passes through it a structure that carries filtered blood away from the nephron fine network of capillaries arising from the renal artery that act as a filtration device reabsorption of ions decreases the concentration of the filtrate and water is reabsorbed by osmosis water can diffuse from the filtrate back to the capillaries by osmosis Choose...

Describe what happens during the following stages in urine forma-tion in the mammalian nephron: filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion.
+ 1. Summarize the role of the kidneys in each of the following functions: Adjusting blood volume (and so blood pressure) and the volume of interstitial fluid and lymph Regulating calcium ion levels Stimulating the production of red blood cells (erythropoiesis) Regulating blood pressure Regulating blood glucose levels Adjusting the pH of body fluids Regulating the blood Na* and K levels Regulating blood Cl levels Getting rid of wastes such as urea, ammonia, uric acid, creatinine, urobilin from breakdown of hemoglobin, foreign substances such as drugs and environmental toxins

What does the hormone ADH (vasopressin) do to the nephrons in the kidney? 1-ADH constricts the renal tubules so that less fluid is excreted 2-ADH results in dehydration of the arterial blood 3-ADH constricts the renal tubules so that more fluid is excreted 4-ADH results in the addition of aquaporins in cells at specific regions of the nephron
Which of the following is NOT a function of the excretory system? * Filtration of wastes from the blood. Secretion of ADH from the collecting duct. Maintaining pH balance by secretion of H+ ions. Osmoregulation via sweating. Releasing carbon dioxide waste from the lungs.
