Describe the key processes in urine formation in a mammalian
nephron, beginning with the glomerulus and ending with the
excretion of urine from the collecting duct into the renal
pelvis.
1. Describe the path of urinary filtrate from where it leaves
the glomerulus to the ureter. Specifically, what happens to water,
sodium and urea during this trip? How is the reabsorption of water
and sodium regulated by hormones?
2. Discuss the difference between the sympathetic and
parasympathetic nervous systems. Be sure to include a discussion of
the different ganglia found in each system and their roles.
Describe the three processes that are important for the
formation of urine?
Trace the pathway of urine. From where it is produced to where
it is released. describe, please
Trace the pathway of urine formation from the
nephron/collecting duct until urine leaves the body through the
urethra. Be sure to include all structures urine passes before it
exits at the external urethral orifice. Note the differences in the
male and female urethra.
Draw and label the parts of the uriniferous tubule. Include all
parts of the nephron and the collecting duct. List the sequence of
filtrate moving through the nephron to collecting duct in the
correct sequence.
Trace the pathway of urine. From where it is produced to where
it is released.
Where do the nitrogenous wastes come from? Think of
macromolecules
How does the liver detoxify ammonia?
What is the functional unit of the urinary system?
