Understandings:
Animals are either osmoregulators or osmoconformers
.
The Malphigian tubule system in insects and the kidney carry out osmoregulation and removal of nitrogenous wastes
.
The composition of blood in the renal artery is different from that in the renal vein
.
The ultrastructure of the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule facilitate ultrafiltration
.
The proximal convoluted tubule selectively reabsorbs useful substances by active transport
.
The loop Henle maintains hypertonic conditions in the medulla
.
The length of the loop of Henle is positively correlated with the need for water conservation in animals
.
ADH controls reabsorption of water in the collecting duct
.
The type of nitrogenous waste in animals is correlates with evolutionary history and habitat
.
Applications:
Consequences of dehydration and over-hydration
.
Treatment of kidney failure by hemodialysis or kidney transplant
.
Blood cells, glucose, proteins and drugs are detected in urinary tests
.
Skills
Drawing and labeling a diagram of the human kidney
.
Annotations of a diagram of the nephron
