Water balance and electrolyte balance are ________ if concentration of water decreases, the concentrations of electrolytes will ______ Dependent of each other ; increase Why are water balance and electrolyte balance interdependent? Electrolytes are dissolved in water, so a change in the amount of one will affect the concentration of the other. What is the […]
What blood pH suggests alkalosis? 7.5 What are electrolytes? Molecules that release ions in water ADH (vasopressin) Hormone made by the hypothalamus that tells the kidneys how much water to conserve. Regulating amount of water in the blood. Can treat diabetes. When ADH is released it… Reduces urine volume, increases water reabsorption in the kidneys […]
pulmonary capillaries close if the arterial blood pressure decreases when a fluid (such as blood) travels against the force of gravity, the pressure decreases when a person is lying down, blood pressure is uniform and the capillaries in the lung are open. what happens to the surface area for gas exchange when a person lies […]

Basement membrane, Podocytes with filtration slits, Fenestrated endothelium
Temperature, size of molecules, and the incline of the concentration gradient
1. Substances pass from the peritubular capillaries to the nephron tubules. 2. False 3. Substances pass from renal tubules to the peritubular capillaries. 4. The fluid leaves the glomerulus and enters the Bowman’s (glomerular) capsule.
Metabolism requires nutrients from the diet to be processed, which is done by the digestive system. The process requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, which are exchanged with the atmosphere through the respiratory system. But carbon dioxide is not the only waste product of these chemical processes. The body relies on the urinary system to […]
