Chapter 49, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The organ systems involved in the elimination of wastes from animal bodies.
Introduction: Animals have different organs and organ systems to perform different functions but all these systems are integrated to ensure proper and coordinated functioning of the body. The integrated and coordinated functioning between the different systems is important to create an integrated and appropriate response to the environment.

- Metabolism of nutrients by body cells produces various wastes such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenous toxins (creatinine, urea, and ammonia), as well as imbalances of water and essential ions. These metabolic wastes and excesses must be eliminated from the body. Essential substances are retained to ensure proper body functioning. Although several organ systems are involved in excreting (getting rid of) toxic cellular wastes, the urinary system bears the primary responsibility for removing nitrogenous wastes from the blood. In addition to this purely excretory function, the kidneys maintain the electrolyte, acid-base, and fluid balances of the blood. Thus, kidneys take care of your blood and are major homeostatic organs of the body. Malfunction of the kidneys leads to a failure of homeostasis, resulting (unless corrected) in death. 1. Complete the statements (hint: read paragraph above): The kidney is referred to as an excretory organ because it excretes also a major homeostatic organ…arrow_forwardIndicate if the following statement is true or false describe/explain the reasoning When organs and tissues are compartmentalized, the organ system can no longer work together and function at the level of the organism suffers. True/False justifyarrow_forwardFigure 33.11 Which of the following statements about types of epithelial cells is false? Simple columnar epithelial cells line the tissue of the lung. Simple cuboidal epithelial cells are involved in the filtering of blood in the kidney. Pseudostratisfied columnar epithilia occur in a single layer, but the arrangement of nuclei makes it appear that more than one layer is present. Transitional epithelia change in thickness depending on how full the bladder is.arrow_forward
- Fill in the organ system table below by either describing the function of the organ system or by identifying the organ system described. Organ System Function Integumentary system Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter blood and are distributed to body cells; indigestible foodstuffs eliminated as feces. Respiratory system Filters blood and excretes metabolic wastes; regulates fluid and electrolyte balance, and pH homeostasis. Endocrine system Returns fluid leaked from blood vessels to blood; disposes of debris; houses white blood cells; carries out immune responses. Cardiovascular system Produces and transports gametes (sperm and egg cells); growth and development of new offspring. Muscular system Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework for muscles used to cause movement; forms blood cells and stores minerals. Nervous systemarrow_forwardDescribe how body fluids are distributed in compartments.arrow_forwardSo, in peritonitis, there is an inflammation of the peritoneum and a build up of fluid/exudate in the abdomen. With this third spacing, fluid is lost to the individual. Isotonic solution makes sense to replace the fluids, colloids, electrolytes, etc... that are lost because of this. However, in theory, couldn't a hypertonic solution pull this fluid that is into the third space back into the intravascular space?arrow_forward
- Topic:Excretion in animals Distinguish isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic solution from one another relative to an animal’s intracellular fluid.arrow_forwardMatch the integration of several organ systems to a specific function. Choose the best answer from the choices given. When the respiratory, digestive and urinary systems work together they can:a. excrete wasteb. obtain nutrientsc. maintain calcium levelsd. change facial expressione. keep foreign organisms out of body systemsarrow_forwardWhat is the trade-off of ectotherms with regard to maintaining an internal environment that doesn’t vary much? Ectotherms are larger than endotherms because they need to have a larger surface area to volume ratio in order to either increase or lower their temperature. Ectotherms usually have fur in order to conserve heat when they live in very cold environments. Ectotherms are smaller than endotherms because they need more surface area to dissipate heat relative to their insides. Ectotherms can survive in a wider variety of habitats because they are smaller and can behaviorally adapt to a wide variety of temperatures.arrow_forward
- The main difference between ectotherms and endotherms is how they obtain food to provide for their metabolism. the source of their body heat. whether they conserve or eliminate body heat. whether they control their body temperature.arrow_forwardPut the body fluid compartments in order from greatest percentage of water, to lowest. -Plasma, interstitial, extracellular, and intracellulararrow_forwardsalt balance All of the systems in the body help to maintain a constant internal environment within acceptable ranges. which is urinary The system pumps blood to and from capillaries to cardiovascular exchange gases. digestive The system collects excess tissue fluids and returns it to the lymphatic vessels via the cardiovascular system. охудen The system takes in and digests food to provide nutrients to replenish those used by a body's cells. homeostasis The system removes from blood and nervous brings in carbon dioxide system helps rid the body of metabolic wastes and and pH. The helps regulate blood volume, respiratory The and endocrine systems regulate all other systems lymphatic through hormones and various feedback mechanisms.arrow_forward
