Chapter 1.3, Problem 7WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The organ system that is responsible for filtering the blood and removing the waste products of blood in the form of urine.
Concept introduction:
Physiologists and anatomists recognize several levels of increasing complexity in the organization. These levels from simple to complex are the “chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and organismal level”.

Which substances in the blood are never filtered out into the urine?
How are the processes of reabsorption and secretion related?
A) Materials move in opposite directions: reabsorption moves materials into the blood,
whereas secretion removes them from the blood.
B) They both involve movement of material from the tubular fluid into the blood.
C) Materials move in opposite directions: secretion moves materials into the blood,
whereas reabsorption removes them from the blood.
D) They both involve movement of material from the blood into the tubular fluid.

His helmet keeps him alive, but he suffers a lacerated femoral artery from the broken glass; fortunately, the doctor is able to save him. Nevertheless, the rapid loss in blood volume causes a precipitous decline in blood pressure. Describe—at the cellular level, the nephron level, and all the way up to the systemic level—each of the steps the heart, the kidneys, and the CNS will take to counter this loss in pressure and the processes by which each of these steps will work. Furthermore, many smaller local blood vessels will also be ruptured by the glass; describe in detail how these vessels, and the blood flowing into them, will act to limit blood loss at this local level.arrow_forward
