Q

Marine animal osmoregulation

A

water will move out of animal, so they must drink lots of water and excrete little urine. gain solutes due to diffusion gradient, which is filtered out by kidney (C, Mg, sulfates) or transport proteins on skin (Na, Cl) most marine invertebrates are osmoconformers and are isotonic to seawater. Osmoconformers actively regulate solute concentrations to maintain homeostasis.

Q

freshwater animal osmoregulation

A

water will enter animal through osmosis and must excrete large volumes of urine. many maintain lower cytoplasm solute concentrations than marine regulators to help reduce solute gradient. Urine loss depletes solutes, so active transport at gills replenishes some solutes. Some animals like salmon can switch environments and strategies.

Q

Na/Cl/K cotransporter

A

uses sodium/potassium gradient to move sodium, chloride, and potassium into the cell.

49
Q

Selective Ion channels

A

allow passive diffusion of chloride and potassium out of the cell.

50
Q

nitrogenous waste

A

metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids releases nitrogen in form of ammonia, which is highly toxic b/c it raises pH.

51
Q

ammonia and pH

A

ammonia is a strong base and readily acquires hydrogen to become ammonium. this proton reduction raises pH which can disrupt enzyme function.

52
Q

how aquatic animals deal with nitrogenous waste

A

excrete ammonia or ammonium directly across skin or gills. freshwater fish lose ammonia in their urine as well.

53
Q

how terrestrial animals deal with nitrogenous waste

A

use metabolic energy to convert ammonia to urea b/c they cannot tolerate inherent water loss in ammonia excretion.

54
Q

Osmoregulation and excretion in invertebrates

A

earliest invertebrates still rely on diffusion (jellies, sponges). most have some variation on a tubular filtration system that filters, selectively reabsorbs and secretes, and excretes.

55
Q

protonephridia

A

system of tubules spread throughout body with beating cilia at the closed end of the tube to draw in interstitial fluid. solutes are reabsorbed before urine is excreted either through protonephridia or through skin.

56
Q

metanephridia in earthworms

A

tubules collect body fluid through a ciliated opening from one segment and excrete from the adjacent segment. Hydrostatic pressure facilitates collection. Vascular tubules reabsorb solutes and maintain water balance and N waste is excreted in dilute urine

57
Q

malphigian tubules in insects and other terrestrial arthropods

A

system of closed tubules using ATP powered pumps to transport solutes from hemolymph. water goes into tubules due to gradient. N waste and other solutes diffuse into the tubules on their gradients and passes into digestive tract (uric acid and digestive waste excreted from same opening). Solutes and water are reabsorbed in rectum using ATP powered pumps.

58
Q

Osmoregulation and excretion in vertebrates

A

have a system of tubules called nephrons in a pair of kidneys. Each nephron is vascularized and drains into a series of ducts that drain urine to external environment.

59
Q

basics passage of human excretory system

A

kidneys filter blood and concentrate the urine, ureter drains to bladder, bladder stores, and urethra drains to external environment.

60
Q

nephron structure

A

each nephron stars at a cup-shaped closed end leading into the proximal convoluted tubule in the cortex of kidney. Loop of Henle descends into medulla of kidney, then distal tubule drains into collecting duct.

61
Q

filtration in corpuscle

A

arterial blood enters (and leaves) glomerulus under pressure. glomerulus is surrounded by bowman’s capsule. Interior epithelium of bowman’s has finger-like processes that produce slits so water, solutes, and N waste can enter. Large proteins and red blood cells are too large and remain in arteriole. Anything small enough to pass makes up initial filtrate

62
Q

Proximal tubule

A

Secretion: excess H+; helps maintain body pH. drugs and other toxins also secreted into filtrate. Proximal tubule epithelia also makes NH3 to neutralize filtrate
Reabsorption: water, NaCl, K, glucose, amino acids, bicarbonate, vitamins

63
Q

secretion

A

substances are transported from blood into a tubule

64
Q

reabsorption

A

substances are transported from filtrate back into the blood

65
Q

Loop of Henle

A

differences in membrane permeability set up osmotic gradients that recover water and salts, and concentrates the urine. Composed of 3 parts: the descending limb, the thin ascending limb, and the thick ascending limb.

66
Q

descending limb

A

permeable to water and impermeable to solutes. water is recovered because of increase in solutes in the surrounding interstitial fluids

67
Q

thin ascending limb

A

not permeable to water, very permeable to Na and Cl. These solutes are recovered through passive transport to help maintain interstitial fluid gradient.

68
Q

thick ascending limb

A

Na and Cl continued to be recovered by active transport. This is high metabolic cost but helps maintain the gradient that concentrates urea in the urine.

69
Q

distal tubule

A

filtrate entering contains mostly urea and other wastes. Na, Cl, and water continue to be reabsorbed. Some secretion also occurs

70
Q

collecting duct

A

final concentration of urine occurs as filtrate passes down collecting duct and back through the concentration gradient in the interstitial fluid of kidney. Some salt is actively transported and far end of collecting duct is permeable to urea. Urea trickles out into inner medulla to establish and maintain concentration gradient

71
Q

Q

A
  1. carbohydrates
  2. fats

74
Q

amino acids are used to make

A

proteins. Most animals can only synthesize about half of the necessary amino acids and the remaining must be consumed

75
Q

vitamin function

A

water soluble usually function as coenzymes and fat soluble usually function in nutrient absorption and antioxidants. fat soluble vitamins are more likely to accumulate

76
Q

food compartmentalization

92
Q

fat digestion

A

hydrophobic so cant cross membrane until broken down (emulsified) by bile salts so that lipase can digest and produce fatty acids and monoglycerids. Monomers are called micelles to diffuse. They are recombined into fats in the epithelial cells where they mix with cholesterol and are coated with proteins. The resulting globules are transported into the lymph and eventually blood.
