New cards
2
negative feedback
Deviations from the set point are corrected by ________ so the set point is restored.
New cards
3
Ultrafiltration
________- High blood pressure in the capillaries of the glomerulus forces out the plasma of the blood.
New cards
4
Vesicles
________ containing aquaporins move and fuse with the cell membrane.
New cards
5
Osmoregulation
________- regulating the water content of body fluids.
New cards
6
Forestations
________- Gaps between the cells form the glomerular blood vessels creating a path of flow resistance away from the glomerulus.
New cards
7
ADH
________ increases the permeability of the DCT and collecting duct to allow more water to be reabsorbed from the medulla and urine is more concentrated.
New cards
8
adrenal glands
The ________ release aldosterone in response to low sodium concentration in the blood plasma or low blood pressure.
New cards
9
Podocytes
________- form the inner membrane of the Bowman's capsule.
New cards
10
bloodstream
It is carried from the liver to the kidneys in the ________.
New cards
11
Positive Feedback
________- Enhances the size of the stimulus, and causes movement further away from the set point.
New cards
12
Dialysis & Kidney Transplant
Treatments: Balance fluids in the blood, Medication to control K+ and Ca+, Low protein diet, Drugs to reduce blood pressure, ________.
New cards
13
amino acids
All Glucose and ________ are reabsorbed by Co- Transport with Sodium Ions into the cuboidal epithelial cells by facilitated diffusion.
New cards
14
Selective reabsorption
________ happened in the Proximal convoluted tubule.
New cards
15
Deamination
________- The amino group is removed from the amino acid to form Ammonia which is excreted as Nitrogen is toxic.
New cards
16
Effector
________- coordinates the response to restore the set point.
New cards
17
Excretion

ADH
________ regulates water reabsorption in the Distal Convoluted Tubule.
New cards
34
ADH
________ is released from the pituitary gland and causes the opening of cell membrane pores called aquaporins, allowing water reabsorption into the blood.
