s Help Normal Etc DESCRIPTIONS: 1. When blood volume & pressure are too low, the pituitary gland releases this hormone which increases water reabsorption from filtrate into blood, thus conserving body water and producing a highly concentrated urine 2. Urine in its final form leaves the collecting duct of a nephron and enters this space which funnels urine into the renal pelvis 3. A long, slender, muscular tube which undergoes peristalsis to conduct newly formed urine from the renal pelvis of the kidney to the urinary bladder 4. This portion of a nephron functions to control the amount of water in urine so that concentrated urine is produced when one is dehydrated (low blood volume/pressure) or dilute urine is produced when one is overhydrated (high blood volume/pressure) 5. These expandable folds in the lining of the wall of the bladder enable it to expand in size as urine volume increases; the stomach lining also has these folds 6. The yellow color of urine is due to the presence of this product of hemoglobin breakdown 7. As the bladder fills, urine volume & pressure increase; high fluid pressure stimulates these sensory neurons embedded in the bladder wall and they then send impulses to the spinal cord to initiate the micturition reflex 8, 70% of filtrate is reabsorbed into blood from the proximal convoluted tubules by epithelial
