enFIChapter 32 Crossword: Group 320
Osmoregulation:The process by which animals control solute concentrations in the intestinal fluid and balance water gain and loss
Excretion:Process that rids the body of nitrogenous metabolites and other waste products
Osmolarity:Total solute concentration expressed as molarity
Osmoconformer:To be isoomotic with its surroundings
Osmoregulator:To control internal osmolarity independent of the environment
Ammonia:Small, toxic molecule also known as NH3
Urea:The main nitrogenous waste excreted by vertebrates
Uric Acid:The main nitrogenous waste excreted by snails, birds and many reptiles
TransportEpithelia:Typically arranged in complex tubular networks with extensive surface areas
Filtration:The extraction of water and small solutes from the body fluid
Filtrate:Solution created as a result of filtration
Reabsorbtion:recovering of useful molecules and water from the filtrate
Secretion:The discharge of wastes from the body fluid into the filtrate
Kidney:Specialized organ that functions in both osmoregulation and excretion
Ureter:The duct where urine produced by the kidney exits through
UrinaryBladder:Sac where the two ureters drain into
Urethra:The tube where urine is expelled from the bladder
Nephrons:Functional units of the vertebrate kidney
Corticalnephrons:Weaving back and forth across the renal cortex and medulla, they only reach a short distance into the medulla
Juxtamedullarynephrons:The remainder of the nephrons that reach farther into the medulla, essential for the production of urine that is hyperosmotic to body fluids
