Final exam part 2 Flashcards
keep the osmolarity of body fluids different from the environment
osmoregulators
allows osmolarity of their body fluids to match their environment
osmoconformers
a complex of muscles that encircle the urethra and control the flow of urine.
urethral sphincter
what does the proximal convulated tubule of a nephron secrete
positive ion hydrogen into filtrate
what does proximal convuleted tubule of nephron reabsorb
Sodium, chloride, potassium, water, bicarbonate, and nutrients(glucose)
what does the descending loop of henle reabsorb
water through osmosis
what does the ascending loop of henle reabsorb
soidum and chloride ions
what does the distal convulated tubule do
is balances hydrogen and salt concentrations between urine and interstitial fluid surrounding the nephron
what the does the collecting ducts secrete
additional hydrogen to urine
what does the proximal end of a nephron filtrate
water, small molecules, and ions
what is reabsorbed in the collecting ducts
water and some urea is reabsorbed at the bottom of the ducts.
chemical stimuli
chemoreceptor
transduce light
photoreceptor
temperature change
thermoreceptors
respond to cell deformation
mechanoreceptors
respond to intense stimuli by signaling pain
nociceptors
signal positional info
proprioceptors
to change or convert environmental information in Action Potentials
transduce
easiest thing to interpret
modality
outermost layer and is transparent and admits light
cornea
behind the cornea and controls diameter of pupil also is the color of people eyes
iris
