Closing • Why is water removed in the descending limb only to be reabsorbed in the ascending limb? • Which hormone is responsible in urine production? • How does urine production alter with the consumption of the following: • Caffeine • Alcohol • Excess water • Not enough water?
Day 2 • Required Readings: • Kidney Dissection • Learning Objectives: • To identify the structures and functions of the structures of the kidney • To determine the fate of a soda molecule
Starter • Label the following parts on the kidney and nephron: • Time: 10 minutes
Answers • Kidney • 1) Renal cortex • 2) Renal medulla • 3) Renal pelvis (minor/major calyx) • 4) Nephron • 5) Ureter • Nephron • A) Glomerulus • B) Descending limb • C) Loop of Henle • D) Ascending Limb • E) Collecting Duct
Activity 1 • Kidney dissection • Read through the instructions and dissect with your group • Clean up when you are finished • Time: 30 minutes
Activity 2 • Using the powerpoint slides as a guide, write a story explaining what happens to a coke when you drink it • Use a diagram to help aid your explanation • Time: 20 minutes
Homework • Complete your story – Due February 11
Day 3 • Required Readings: • 16.3 • Learning Objectives: • Explain how water and electrolyte balance and pH balance are maintained in body fluids • Explain how nitrogenous wastes are kept within normal limits in body fluids
Starter • The following four hormones act on the kidneys: • Aldosterone • Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) • Atrialnatriuretic hormone (ANH) • Parathyroid hormone • What is the function of these hormones? • Where do the hormones come from? • Time: 15 minutes
Activity 1 • Read through “The 2000-Meter Row: A Case in Homeostasis” with your group • For the questions, there are 2 systems we haven’t talked about yet (nervous, endocrine), but try your best to incorporate those systems into your answers • The hormones you can talk about are the 4 that act on the kidneys as well as epinephrine (adrenaline) • Time: 30 minutes
Activity 2 • You will be assigned numbers 1-4 • Move to your new group and discuss what was happening physiologically to Jim during his 2000m race • Time: 15 minutes
Activity 3 • Create a poster for the athletes at TASOK explaining the importance water intake • Everyone will create one • Ideas to get you started: • How does dehydration negatively effect their performance? • What are some long-term effects of dehydration • What are good drinks to have during and after exercise? (Think: electrolyte balance) • What advantage would monitoring their pee have? How should it look? • Time: 30 minutes
Closing & Homework • What hormones act on the kidneys and what are their functions? • How does water intake effect an athlete’s performance? • Homework: • Coke story • Water poster • Read 16.4, 16.5
Day 4 • Required Readings: • 16.4, 16.5 • Learning Objectives: • Describe the structure and function of the ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra • Describe the control of micturition • Indicate the normal components of urine
Starter • What are the components in urine? • What components would be a concern if they were found in the urine? • What could a potential diagnosis be if these components are found in the urine? • Time: 10 minutes
Activity 1 • Create a model of the structures involved in micturition • The model should be a working model that shows what happens when urine enters the bladder • i.e. How much urine can the bladder hold? • What happens when urine accumulates in the bladder? • Time: 20 minutes
Activity 2 • Complete Lab 1: Urinalysis • You will need a hot plate, test tubes, test tube rack, and test tube tongs • Put everything you used that needs to be washed in the sink after • Please put the dissecting pans, dissecting kits and stopwatches back in your lab bench when completed • Time: 45 minutes
Closing • What could the presence of glucose indicate? • What could the presence of protein indicate?
