Homeostasis + Excretion Flashcards
Ectotherm
Animal whose body temperature varies with environmental temperature.
How is blood different to glomerular filtrate
Blood contains blood cells, glomerular does not.
Parts of nephron that absorb water
Loop of Henle/ Proximal convoluted tube/Distal convoluted tube
Substances absorbed during urine formation
Glucose/ amino acids/ minerals/ salts.
Sebaceous gland
Produce and release sebum on the surface of the skin.
Excretion
Getting rid of waste products of metabolism
Homeostasis
Maintenance of a constant internal environment.
Filtration
Process where waste substances are removed from the blood. eg. bowmans capsule/glomerulus.
Hormone and when is released
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). Due to low water content in the blood.
ADH acts in..?
Distal convoluted tube/collecting duct.
ADH effect
More water is reabsorbed.
