11.3 Osmoregulation

Horizontales
the U-shaped section of the nephron of a vertebrate kidney that is situated between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules and plays a role in the regulation of the concentrating of ions in the urine. (3 words, no spaces)
the inner, darker portion of the parenchyma of the kidneys that consists of the renal pyramids.
_______ convoluted tubule the convoluted portion of the nephron that lies between the loop of Henle and the non-secretory part of the nephron that is concerned especially with the concentration of urine.
a group of capillaries, situated within a Bowman’s capsule in the nephron of the vertebrate kidney, which filter waste products from the blood and so initiate urine formation.
a high pressure filtration through a semi-permeable membrane in which colloidal particles are retained, while the small sized solutes and the solvent are forced to move across the membrane by hydrostatic pressure forces.
a body mechanism concerned with the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure relationships.
________ convoluted tubule the convoluted portion of the vertebrate nephron that lies between the Bowman’s capsule and the loop of Henle and functions especially in the reabsorption of sugar, sodium and chloride ions, and water from the glomerular filtrate.
Verticales
_______ duct-a non-secretory tubule that receives urine from several nephrons and discharges it into the pelvis of the kidney.
marine animals which, in contrast to osmoregulators, maintain the osmolarity of their body fluids such that it is always equal to the surrounding seawater.
the excessive loss of water from the body, or from an organ or body part, as a result of illness or fluid deprivation.
________ tubule system the organ of excretion in insects and many other arthropods consisting of narrow tubules opening into the anterior part of the hindgut.
the structural and functional units of the kidney, numbering about a million, each one is capable of forming urine.
_______ capsule a double-walled membrane around the glomerulus of each nephron of the vertebrate kidney, its main role is to filter to remove organic wastes, excess inorganic salts, and water
a hormone released by the pituitary gland that controls the permeability of the walls of the collecting duct in the kidney, preventing the production of dilute urine
