External: Raise Ribcage
Internal: Lower Ribcage |
|
Air Pathway (Inhalation)
|
Nasal Cavity--> Pharynx-->Glottis-->Larynx-->Bronchi-->Bronchioles-->alveoli
|
|
Thin Respiratory Membrane
|
Alveolar Epithelium + Pulmonary Endothelium + basement membranes
|

Kidneys are composed of what?
|
A cortex and a Medulla
|
|
Ureter
|
Tubular channel between the kidney and urinary bladder

|
Urethra
|
Muscular Tube leading FROM bladder TO outside of body!
|
|
Nephron is where?
|
Kidney! (basic functional unit)
|
|
How does filtrate flow through the nephron?
|
(glomerulus) then STARTS AT BOWMANS capsule...-->PCT-->Loop of Henle-->DCT-->Collecting Duct-->Renal Pelvis-->(then Ureter, Bladder, Urethra)
|
|
What are the things that surround the nephron?
|
Peritubular Capillaries
|
|
Filtration
|
OUT of the glomular capillaries INTO the nephron
|
|
Reabsorption
|
OUT of nephron INTO peritubular capillaries (back into circulation)
|
|
Can't produce antidiuretic hormone?
|
Diabetes Insipidus
|
|
Where does filtration take place?
|
Bowman's capsule
|
|
Where does secretion take place?
|
DCT
|
|
Secretion
|
OUT of peritubular capillaries INTO the nephron
|
|
Excretion
|
Collecting duct to the renal pelvis then the urinary tract (ureter, bladder, urethra)
**Only subs. that were not reabsorbed or were secreted into the tubule! |
|
Sweat Glands
|
release water and some solutes (urea) through pores at the skin's surface
|
|
Large Intestine
|
Removes salts like calcium and heavy metals like lead and mercury
|
|
Liver
|
Receives ammonia from the blood and converts it to urea; also breaks down toxins.
