Homeostasis

Define "Homeostasis"

1 of 54

Homestasis

Process of the body adapting to changes in the enviroment so the body's most efficiant internal enviroment is sustained

2 of 54

Homeostasis

State 3 internal conditions in which the body must be maintained

3 of 54

Homeostasis

-Temperature
-Sugar level
-Water Level

4 of 54

Homeostasis

What is removed from the body via the lungs?

5 of 54

Homeostasis

Carbon dioxide

6 of 54

Homeostasis

List Four ways the lungs have adapted to allow them
 to loose Carbon dioxide and how.

7 of 54

Homeostasis

-Many Alveoli (Larger surface area)

-Thin membrane between alveoli wall and blood capillaries (shorter diffusion difference)

-Many Blood Capillaries (transports carbon dioxides from body tissues)

-The lung is connected to a tree like system of tubes ;the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles. (removes the carbon dioxide from the lungs)

8 of 54

Homeostasis

State the process by which carbon dioxide leaves the blood to move into the alveolus

9 of 54

Homeostasis

Carbon Dioxide leaves the blood by diffusion

10 of 54

Homeostasis

Name three things that the kidney removes from
the body

11 of 54

Homeostasis

-Excess water
-Urea
-Excess Salt

12 of 54

Homeostasis

Name the organ where most urea is produced

13 of 54

Homeostasis

Urea is the breakdown of amino acids by the liver

14 of 54

Homeostasis

Explain Why is is necessary to balance our water content

15 of 54

Homeostasis

Water loss must equal water intake
too prevent Dehydration

16 of 54

Homeostasis

Balanced equation for AEROBIC respiration

17 of 54

Homeostasis

C₆H₂+ 6O₂--> 6CO₂+ 6H0 + Energy

 Label the cortex, medulla, pyramids, renal artery, renal vein, urether, Calyx and Renal pelvis

19 of 54

Homeostasis

a -  Medulla Pyramid
b- Calyx
c- Renal Artery
d- Renal Vein
e- Renal Pelvis
f- ureter
g- Renal Capsule
h-  Cortex
i - Renal Column

20 of 54

Homeostasis

a = Glomerulus
b= bowmans capsule
c= Proximal convoltued tubule (PCT)
d= Distal convoluted tubule (DCT)
e= collecting duct
f= to ureter
h= loop of henle

21 of 54

Label: loop of henle, Glomerulus, Proximal Convoluted tubule (PCT), Distal convoluted tubule (DCT), collecting duct, to ureter. [ignore i and g]

22 of 54

Homeostasis

Explain why the process by which water and small soluble molecules are forced out of the glomerulus is called ultra filtration

23 of 54

Homestasis

Only Certain sized molecules can pass through the semi permeable membrane e.g urea and water.

24 of 54

Homeostasis

Explain where the pressure, which provides the force for ultrafiltration, is generated

25 of 54

Homeostasis

26 of 54

Homeostasis

List Four substances that are lost from the blood by ultrafiltration

27 of 54

Homeostasis

- Salt
-Urea
-Water
-Glucose

28 of 54

Homeostasis

List two things that are not lost and explain why they remain in the blood

29 of 54

Homeostasis

- Cells (the body needs these)
- Protein (the body needs this)

30 of 54

Homeostasis

Explain what, under normal circumstances, happends to all the glucose that leaves the blood and where this happens.

31 of 54

Homeostasis

Glucose is reabsorbed in the Proximal conveluted tubule after ultrafiltration

32 of 54

Homeostasis

State what happens to the salt after leaving the blood

33 of 54

Homeostasis

The salt leaves the nefron via the the collecing duct

34 of 54

Homeostasis

State how urea leaves the Nephron

35 of 54

Homeostasis

Salt leaves the nephron via the collecting duct

36 of 54

Homeostasis

List three ways the body gains water

37 of 54

Homeostasis

-drinking
-tissue respiration
-water content in food

38 of 54

Homeostasis

List 6 ways in which the body looses water

39 of 54

Homeostasis

-urination
-Sweat
-exhaling in air
-vomitting
-in faeces
-by exaporation of moist surgaces (e.g cornea on eye)

40 of 54

Homeostasis

Explain why the water content of the body must be maintained within a narrow range of concentrations

41 of 54

Homeostasis

42 of 54

Homeostasis

Explain the role of the loop of Henle and collecting duct in regulating water content

43 of 54

Homeostasis

Water is reabsorbed at the loop of henle and at the collecting duct

44 of 54

Homeostasis

What does ADH stand for?

45 of 54

Homeostasis

Antidiuretic Hormone

46 of 54

Homeostasis

Where is ADH produced?

47 of 54

Homeostasis

ADH is produced in the priturity gland which is found in the brain

48 of 54

Homeostasis

Describe the body conditions which would lead to increased ADH Production

49 of 54

Homeostasis

If the blood is very concentrated the piturity gland produces ADH

50 of 54

Homeostasis

What does the presence of ADH in the blood do to the loop of henle and collecting duct wall? and what this does to the amount of water reabsorbed?

51 of 54

Homeostasis

The Loop Henle and collecting duct reabsorb MORE water if ADH is present in the blood

52 of 54

Homeostasis

Using the idea of osmosis, explain why water leaves the tubule when its permeability increases

A well thought out set of cards covering homeostasis.Each question asked has the answer on the next card which means you can easily use them to test your knowledge of this topic.

its a cute bunch of helpful cards!, though some answers are missing, which is frustrating :( but helpful overall!!
