43
Q

intercostal muscle

A

Intercostal muscles are several groups of muscles that run between the ribs, and help form and move the chest wall. The intercostal muscles are mainly involved in the mechanical aspect of breathing. These muscles help expand and shrink the size of the chest cavity to facilitate breathing.

made of smooth muscle fibres.

56
Q

bladder

A

collects urine from the kidneys before disposal by

urination. urine enters ureter and urine leaves urethra.

57
Q

renal artery and vein

A

The renal arteries deliver an oxygen-rich blood supply to the cells in each kidney. leaves the kidney via the renal veins and is transported in the inferior vena cava back to the heart.

58
Q

Glomerulus And Its Role In Ultrafiltration

A

The glomerulus receives blood from the afferent arteriole and the blood leaves through the efferent arteriole.

59
Q

ultrafiltration

A

filter blood in bowman’s capsule

The afferent arterioles are wider than the efferent arterioles; this difference in diameter increases the pressure in the blood capillaries of the glomerulus and
pushes fluid out of the capillaries and into the Bowman’s capsule where there is a lower pressure. The fluid pushed out of the blood capillaries contains water, amino acids, glucose, urea and inorganic ions for example sodium, chloride and potassium.

60
Q

loop of henle

A

produces a very high concentration of solutes , it has low water potential; consists of:
the descending limb, which descends from the cortex into the medulla
the ascending limb, which ascends from the medulla into the cortex

61
Q

nephron

A

Urine is produced here. Each nephron starts in the cortex of the kidney. water potential in the blood capillaries is very low after ultrafiltration helping reabsorb water later

62
Q

Afferent arterioles

A

a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory system.

63
Q

Water potential

A

a measure of the ability of water molecules to move freely in solution

64
Q

Endothelium of the blood capillary:

A

small gaps in between the cells that line the blood capillary so that blood plasma and the substances dissolved in it can pass through.

65
Q

Basement membrane of Bowman’s capsule:

A

consists of a very thin network of collagen fibres and
glycoproteins. It acts as a filter to prevent the movement of larger substances from the blood capillary into the Bowman’s capsule.

66
Q

Epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule:

A

This enables the fluid from the capillary to pass between the cells into the Bowman’s capsule.

67
Q

proximal convoluted tubule

A

reabsorption of filtrate in accordance with the needs of homeostasis (equilibrium), whereas the distal part of the nephron and collecting duct are mainly concerned with the detailed regulation of water, electrolyte, and hydrogen-ion balance.

68
Q

selective reabsorption of glucose

A 
after being filtered out of the capillaries along with nitrogenous waste products (i.e. urea) and water in the glomerulus, are reabsorbed from the filtrate as they pass through the nephron.
majority of filtrate is returned in pct 
glucose are fully reabsorbed 
urea is left in filtrate
water reabsorption is variable
active transport covers glucose,amino acids and proteins, vitamins and hormones.
many mitochondria supply the atp needed
sodium ions are actively reabsorbed
69
Q

loop of henle {1}

A

At the base of the ascending tubule, sodium and chloride ions diffuse out of the tubule into the tissue fluid; this reduces the water potential of the surrounding tissue.

70
Q

loop of henle {2]

A

As fluid moves down the descending limb the water potential inside the tubule becomes lower.

71
Q

loop of henle {3}

A

As the fluid ascends up the ascending limb towards the cortex the water potential inside the tubule increases.

72
Q

loop of henle {4}

A

Higher up the tubule sodium and chloride ions are actively transported out into the surrounding tissue fluid. This reduces the water potential of the surrounding tissue.

73
Q

loop of henle {5}

A

The wall near the top of the ascending limb is impermeable to water, so water can’t leave the tubule. This means that the fluid in the ascending limb loses salts but not water.

74
Q

loop of henle {6}

A

A consequence of the movement of salts from the ascending limb is that water moves out of the descending limb by osmosis into the surrounding tissue fluid where the water potential has become lower.

75
Q

loop of henle {7}

A

sodium and chloride ions diffuse into the descending limb from the surrounding tissue, as the concentration
of these ions is higher in the tissue than in the tubule, which decreases the water potential in the tubule.

76
Q

distil convoluted tube

A

secretes waste chemicals such as creatinine into filtrate
pumps ions to control blood pH
helps control blood volume and conc of urine

77
Q

collecting duct

A

collects urine from the nephrons and moves it into the renal pelvis and ureters

78
Q

Osmoregulation

A

is the control of water and salt levels in the body which prevents problems with osmosis.

79
Q

The Role Of Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH)

A

causes channels to open in the collecting duct which allows water to pass through. Medulla has low water potential water will leave filtrate y osmosi. producing small quantities of urine.

80
Q

negative feedback

A

if conc of blood changes amount of adh released changes to maintain dynamic equilibrium. nervous stimulations from the hypothalamus controls amount of adh released by the pituitary.

81
Q

osmoregulation {1}

A

As blood flows through the hypothalamus in the brain, osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus monitor the
water potential of the blood.

82
Q

osmoregulation {2}

A

f the water potential in the blood is low, then the osmoreceptor cells lose water by osmosis and they
shrink.

83
Q

osmoregulation {3}

A

This stimulates neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus to produce ADH. ADH is made in the cell body of
these special neurons.

84
Q

osmoregulation {4}

A

ADH flows down the axon of the neurosecretory cell to the terminal bulb in the posterior pituitary gland,
where it is stored until it is needed.

85
Q

osmoregulation {5}

A

When the neurosecretory cells are stimulated, they send action potentials down their axons and the ADH is
released into the blood capillaries running through the posterior pituitary gland

86
Q

osmoregulation {6}

A

ADH is transported around the body and acts on the cells in the collecting ducts

87
Q

osmoregulation {7}

A

When the water potential rises, the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus detect this change, and less ADH
is produced.

88
Q

osmoregulation {8}

A

ADH has a half-life of about 20 minutes, so ADH present in the blood is broken down and the collecting
ducts will not be stimulated any further.

89
Q

Blood Pressure And The Role Of The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Mechanism

A 
decrease in blood pressure 
juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney
increase renin
angiotensinogen
increased angiotensin I
increased angiotensin II 
adrenal cortex
increased aldosterone
in kidneys increased na= and water reabsorption and increased secretion of k= and h= in urine
increased volume of blood 
blood pressure increases until it returns to normal
90
Q

Kidney Involved In Water, Electrolyte And Acid Base Balances

A

fluids have to be between pH 7.35 and 7.45. otherwise proteins, enzymes are denatured.
kidneys respond slowly to imbalance, but if tissues is to acidic hydrogen ions are absorbed into tubular fluid and bicarbonate ions are excreted. tissue is more alkaline hydrogen ions are excreted and bicarbonate ions are absorbed

91
Q

transplantation

A

clean and balance blood and recipient can lead normal life. immune system detects the difference and may reject the new kidney . immunosuppressants drugs are used to prevent rejection.

92
Q

Structure Of The Cell Surface Membrane

A

contains cell, controls movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintains the osmotic balance of the internal environment and allows the cell to be recognised.

93
Q

The Fluid Mosaic Model

A

used to describe the arrangement biological membranes.

94
Q

layers of fluid mosaic model

A

Fluid mosaic membranes
consist of
The phospholipid bilayer, which forms the basic
structure.
Protein molecules, which are present within the
phospholipid bilayer.
Extrinsic proteins, which are embedded on the surfaces
of the membrane.
Intrinsic proteins, which completely span the bilayer.

95
Q

Active Transport,

A

Carrier proteins in the membrane can act as pumps to
carry large and charged molecules across the membrane.
The shapes of the proteins are complementary to the
molecules they carry, which they transport one way across
the membrane. As a molecule moves through the protein,
its shape changes. This means that as a molecule exits
it cannot enter again, as the protein shape is no longer
complementary. These protein pumps use metabolic
energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
to move molecules across the membrane and they
can carry molecules in the opposite direction to theconcentration gradient from a low concentration
to a high concentration. This process of active transport
is much faster than diffusion.

97
Q

Passive Transport By Diffusion,

A

movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
down a concentration gradient.
known as a passive process as the molecules
only rely on their kinetic energy and a concentration
gradient for movement, they do not use energy from
the cell.

98
Q

Facilitated Diffusion,

A

Large molecules, such as glucose, and small charged
particles, such as sodium ions, are not able to pass
through the phospholipid bilayer. They need help to cross the membrane. This is known as facilitated diffusion. There are two types of proteins present in the membrane that facilitate diffusion.
▸▸ Channel proteins form pores in the membrane which are shaped to allow particular molecules/ions, for example sodium and calcium ions, to pass through.
Many are ‘gated’, which means they can be open and
closed.
▸▸ Carrier proteins are shaped for a specific molecule, for example glucose or amino acids. When the molecule binds to the protein, the protein changes shape to allow the molecule to pass across the membrane.

99
Q

Osmosis

A

the movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential, down a water potential gradient across a partially permeable membrane
higher concentration of water molecules they will exert a higher pressure and therefore have a higher water potential.
until the concentration of water molecules is even either side of the membrane, water potential is the same on both sides.

100
Q

Processes Of Endocytosis, Exocytosis For Large Molecules

A

Sometimes large quantities of materials need to be moved into cells, by endocytosis, or out, by exocytosis. Bulk transport requires energy in the form of ATP. The energy is used to move the membrane around to form and move vesicles around the cell. Vesicles are used to carry the bulk material, for example insulin, to be transported and they easily fuse with membranes and can separate from membranes by ‘pinching off’.

101
Q

How Surface Area To Volume Ratio Affects Transport Of Molecules In Living Organisms

A

The larger the surface area to volume ratio, the more
effective transport is. Single celled organisms have a large surface area compared to their volume and they can rely on diffusion alone to meet their needs. Larger multi celled organisms cannot meet their nutrient need by diffusion alone, hence the need for transport systems and specialised surface areas where there is a large surface for diffusion to take place
