wastes removed from the body by the kidneys include
ammonia, creatinine, bilirubin, all of these choices
a role of the kidney’s renal capsule and adipose tissue is to
protect the kidney
which is not part of a nephron
glomerular capsule
filteration occurs in the nephron when the
glomerular blood pressure is greater than the blood colloid osmotic pressure
filtration occurs in the nephron when
glomerular blood pressure is greater than the blood colloid osmotic and capsule pressure
solutes taht are normally reabsorbed include ______ , and solutes that are normally secreted include ___________-
glucose and amino acids, H+, and creatinine
the hormones that increases Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion is
aldosterone
which is not considered normal characterisitic of urine
PH of 3.5
micturition will not occur if
the stretch receptors in the bladder are inactive
the act of expelling urine from the bladder into the urethra is called
micturition
which hormone is responsible for stimulating increase tubular reabsorption of water
ADH
how does the scrotum protect the testes
by separating the testes from each other by a septum
in order, the principal events of spermatogensis are:
differentiation of a primary spermatocyte from a spermatogonium; production of haploid secondary spermatocytes in meiosis I; separation of chromatids to form spermatids in meiosis II; development of a single sperm cell through spermiogenesis
how does the scrotum protect the testes?
by seperating the testes from each other by a septum
which male repoductive hormone and its function are mismatched?
LH: stimulates the anterior pituitary to release FSH
trace the course of sperm through the sytem of ducts from the seminiferous tubules through the urethra
seminiferous tubules, ductus epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra
semen contains
( all of these)
a. alkaline secretions from the seminal vesicles
b. protein- digesting enzymes from the prostate gland
c. mucus secretions from the bulbourethral glands
which statement is not true concerning oogenesis
The secondary oocyte completes its development into an ovum shortly after ovulation occurs.
about 60% of the volume of semen is secreted by the
seminal vesicles
During childbirth, this portion of the uterus assumes an active role in pushing the fetus through the birth canal.
myometrium
An example of an accessory gland of the male reproductive system is the
prostate gland
