B11-4-01 • Identify the primary metabolic wastes produced in the human body and the source of each
B11-4-02 • Describe the roles of the major excretory structures in eliminating wastes and helping the body maintain homeostasis
B11-4-02 • Skin • Salts & N-based wastes • Lungs • CO2 • Liver/Kidneys (team) • Liver converts poisons & toxins into a form that can be excreted by the kidneys • E.g. Ammonia urea • Excretion helps remove wastes & maintain the composition of internal fluids this is important because the body is ~60% water
B11-4-03 • Describe the important role of the liver in the process of excretion and the maintenance of homeostasis
B11-4-03 • Converts toxic ammonia (made from the breakdown of proteins and other nitrogenous compounds) into urea • Urea may be excreted • Recycles red blood cells (hemoglobin is reused & bililrubin is excreted) • Detoxifies the blood • Detoxifies drugs & alcohol after digested, but before they reach the rest of the body & cause harm
B11-4-04 • Identify structures of the human urinary system from a diagram, model or specimen, and describe the function of each.

B11-4-05 • Explain the processes of filtration, reabsorption and secretion in the nephron
B11-4-05 • Filtration • Passage of substances from the glomerulus into Bowman’s capsule • Process is driven by the filtering effect • Filtrate contains sugar, salt, water & wastes • Passive transport down concentration gradient
B11-4-05 • Reabsorption • In the PCT & descending loop of henle • Glucose, amino acids, salts and water are reabsorbed • Salts & ions are pumped out of the tubule by active transport drives water reabsorption due to osmosis • This water is then reabsorbed into the capillaries back into the body
B11-4-05 • Secretion • Ascending loop of henle & DCT • Movement of wastes from the blood (body) into the nephron by active transport • E.g. Drugs, Hydrogen ions & Nitrogenous wastes
B11-4-06 • Describe the feedback mechanisms associated with water and salt balance and their role in the maintenance of homeostasis in the human body
B11-4-06 • ADH • Controls water reabsorption by altering tubule permeability • More is released when water levels are low increase tubule permeability increase water reabsorption concentrated urine • Aldosterone • Controls blood pressure by altering nephron reabsorption of salt • Release = increase in blood pressure due to an increase in water reabsorption
B11-4-07 • Describe what types of information can be gained through urinalysis.
B11-4-07 • Urinalysis can determine: • Diabetes • High blood pressure • Urinary tract infection • Nephritis • Decrease in kidney function in general
