Question 5

pelvis

Answer 5

inner section witish color

Question 6

nephron

Answer 6

filters blood and forms urine

Question 7

ultrafiltration

Answer 7

glomerulus and capsule, high pressure forces fluid small molecules into capsule (osmotic water back to blood)

Question 8

proximal convoluted tube

Answer 8

reabsorption into the body of:
water
sodium ions 
chloride ions
amino acids 
proteins
urea 
vitamins 
glucose

Question 9

distal convoluted tube

Answer 9

reabsorption back into the body of:

Question 10

Descending loop of Henle

Answer 10

water is absorbd by the body, primitive urine is highly concentrated

Question 11

Ascending loop of henle

Answer 11

body reabsorbs Na, less concentrated

Question 12

collecting duct

Answer 12

ADH secures homoestasis of water

Question 13

RAAS

Answer 13

renin: low arterial pressure
Angiotensinogen: inactive
angiotensin: vasoconstriction and realease of aldosterone
aldosterone: regulates absorption of na in dct

Answer 14

walls of blood vessels, monitor blood pressure

Question 15
