11.3 The Kidney and Osmoregulation
  1. NATURE OF SCIENCE
    1. Investigation were carried out ot determine how desert animals prevent water loss in their wastes
    2. OSMOREGULATORS VS OSMOCONFORMERS
      1. The Malpighian tubule system in insects and the kidney carry out omoregulation and removal of nitrogenous wastes
        1. The composition of blood in the renal artery is different from tha tin the renal vein
          1. The ultrastructure of the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule facilitate ultrafiltration
            1. The proximal convoluted tubule selectively reabsorbs useful substances by active transport
              1. The loop of Henle maintain hypertonic conditions in the medulla
                1. ADH (vasopressin) controls reabsorption of water in the collecting duct
                  1. The length of the loop of Henle is positively correlated with the need for water conservation in animals
                    1. The type of nitrogenous waste in animals is correlated with evolutionary history and habitat
                    2. Consequences of dehydration and overhydration
              2. Blood cells, glucose, proteins and drugs are detected in urinary tests
              3. Annotation of diagrams of the nephron
                1. Glomerulus
                  1. Bowman's capsule
                    1. Proximal convoluted Tubule (PCT)
                      1. Loop of Henle
                        1. Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
                          1. Collecting duct
                          2. Drawing and labelling a diagram of the human kidney
                        2. KIDNEY FAILURE
                          1. Treatment of kidney failure by hemodialysis or kidney transplant
                            1. The removal of kidney stones by ultra sound treatment
