The glomerulus is a unique, high-pressure capillary bed because the ___________ arteriole feeding it is larger in diameter than
the ____________ arteriole draining the bed. Glomerular filtrate is very similar to ____________ , but it has fewer proteins. Mechanisms of tubular reabsorption include ___________ and ___________. As an aid for the reabsorption process, the cells of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) have dense ____________ on their luminal surface, which increase their _______________ dramatically. Other than reabsorption, an important tubule function is _____________, which is important for ridding the body of substances not already in the filtrate. Blood composition depends on ___________, __________, and __________. In a day’s time, 180 liters of blood plasma are filtered into the kidney tubules, but less than ________ liters of urine are usually produced. ____________ is responsible for the normal yellow color of urine. The three major nitrogenous wastes found in the blood, which must be disposed of, are ____________, _____________, and ___________. The kidneys determine how much water is to be lost from the body. When water loss via vaporization from the ___________ or ___________ of perspiration from the skin is excessive, urine output ____________. If the kidneys become nonfunctional, ___________ is used to cleanse the blood of impurities.
The glomerulus is a unique high-pressure capillary bed because the <u>afferent</u> arteriole feeding it is larger in diameter than the <u>efferent </u>arteriole draining the bed.
Glomerular filtrate is very similar to<u>blood plasma</u>, but it has fewer proteins.
Mechanisms of tubular reabsorption include <u>diffusion (passive transport) </u>and<u>active transport</u>.
As an aid for the reabsorption process, the cells of the PCT have dense<u>microvilli </u>on their luminal surface, which increases surface area dramatically.
Other than reabsorption and important tubule function is <u>secretion</u>, which is important for ridding the body of substances not already in the filtrate.
Blood composition depends on <u>urine output</u>, <u>cellular metabolism</u><u>,</u> and <u>diet</u>.
In a day's time, 180 liters of blood plasma is filtered into the kidney tubules, but only about<u>1-1.8</u> liters of urine is actually produced.
<u>Urochrome</u> is responsible for the normal yellow coloration of urine.
The three major nitrogenous wastes found in the blood, which must be disposed of, are<u> urea</u>, <u>uric acid</u>, and <u>creatinine</u>.
When water loss via<u> </u><u>vaporization</u> from the<u>lungs</u>, or <u>perspiration</u> from the <u>skin</u> is excessive, urine output <u>decreases</u>.
If the kidneys become nonfunctional,<u>dialysis</u>is used to cleanse the blood of impurities.
Explanation: The parents of the cat have to have an R allele to be a curled cat, but they can't be RR because that is a dominant gene, meaning that the recessive trait cannot happen. This means that the parents have to have a recessive trait, which means that they are heterozygous.
