- Homeostasis
- Osmoregulation
- Regulation of salts in the body
- Regulation of pH
- Excretion
- Structure
- Vena Cava
- Carries de-oxygenated blood away from the kidneys
- Aorta
- Carries oxygenated blood to the kidneys
- Adrenal Gland
- Kidney
- Organs of excretion
- Renal artery
- How blood enters the kidney
- Renal Vein
- Where filtered blood passes out of the kidneys and through
- Ureter
- How the filtrate flows through the collecting duct then passes out of the kidney
- Bladder
- Where unwanted waste products are expelled as urine
- Urethra
- Transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body
- Vena Cava
- Kidney Nephron
- 4.High pressure forces liquid and smaller molecules in the blood out of the capillaries and into the Bowman's capsule
- 5. Liquids and smaller molecules pass through 3 layers to get into the Bowman's capsule and enter the nephron tubule. The capillary wall, basement membrane and the epithelium of the Bowman's capsule
- Function
- The arteriole that takes filetere blood away from the glomerulus is called the efferent arteriole
- 3. The arteriole that takes blood into each glomerulus is called the afferent arteriole
