Describe briefly the normal physiology that occurs in the renal corpuscle (glomerulus + capsule) as it contributes to urine formation and blood filtering. What disorder discussed in chapter 27 involves this area and what are the consequences of this malfunctioning?Describe briefly the normal physiology that occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct as it contributes to urine formation and blood filtering. What disorder(s) discussed in chapter 27 involves this area and what...
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 how filtrate is formed and what substances normally end
up in filtrate (and what substances do not). This should include a
description of the anatomy and physiology of the glomerus and the
glomerular capsule and how they interact with each other.

How does filtrate form? What pressures are
involved? What affect does each pressure have on
formation? Trace a drop of filtrate from its formation to the point
where it turns into urine. Explain ALL
of the micro anatomy; and the physiology that occurs at each
microanatomical structure along the way.
Now trace the drop of urine from the point it becomes urine to
the point it is eliminated from the body. Name all
of the structures and substructures in order.
5. Describe the parts of a nephron that form and modify
filtrate, in order, until it officially becomes urine. Include
kidney location, tissue type, and function in urine formation for
each part.
6. Name the male and female gonads. Describe one
anatomical/structural similarity and one functional similarity
between the male and female gonads. Comment on the reason these
organs are similar.
