Q

Stages of Osmoregulation

A

Filtration
Secretion
Reabsorption

27
Q

Filtration

A

At the glomerulus

Filtrate passively passes through (fluid and small solutes)

28
Q

Secretion

A

Acids, bases, and ions from interstitial fluid to filtrate
Maintains pH, K+ and waste
Passive and Active

29
Q

Reabsorption

A

Essential substances and water flow from filtrate to blood
Enabled by osmolarity gradient and selective permeability of the walls
Passive and Active

30
Q

Aldosterone

A

Stimulates Na reabsorption K and H secretion, increasing water reabsorption, blood volume, and blood pressure
Secreted from adrenal cortex
Regulated by renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

31
Q

ADH

A

Increases collecting ducts permeability to water to increase water reabsorption
Secreted from posterior pituitary with high solute in the blood

32
Q

Kidneys

A

Regulate salt and water in the blood

Functional unit is nephron
