Answer these questions the kidneys and blood pressure. o Why do the kidneys have control over blood pressure? o What structure(s) within the nephron control blood pressure and what pathway do they initiate? o What is one response, triggered by the pathway above, within the body that increases blood pressure. Be specific.

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) regulates water balance at the collecting duct. If there is a decrease in blood pressure, then ADH acts to: O increase water reabsorption decrease plasma osmolarity O help produce a more dilute urine
The vast majority of nephrons in human kidneys are nephrons. O juxtaglomerular O juxtamedullary cortical
Which of the following is NOT a function of the excretory system? * Filtration of wastes from the blood. Secretion of ADH from the collecting duct. Maintaining pH balance by secretion of H+ ions. Osmoregulation via sweating. Releasing carbon dioxide waste from the lungs.
1. What are the three functions of the nephron? o Where within the nephron do each of the above functions occur? Be sure to indicate if any of these functions occur only, or to a higher degree, within a specific region of the nephron.
Describe the nephron. Include all the components we described in class and give function.
3. In order to maintain homeostasis (body water volume, plasma Na*) it is important to regulate Na* and water balance. First, identify the regions of the nephron that are permeable to Na* and H20. Second, tie together the epithelial transport mechanisms for Na* and H20 reabsorption and an idea of the magnitude of reabsorption from each nephron region. Hint: refer to the figure at the end of the Renal Processes lecture to help with context. 4. Review how urine is concentrated throughout the nephron (and the role of Na*, urea).
. If a person takes a loop diuretic, for example furosemide, for a prolonged period of time, what effectwill it have on the osmotic gradient in the renal medulla? Will this effect tend to increase or decreaseurine output?
