CH 7 The Excretory System removes waste products

the blood vessel that enters a organ

the tube in the kidney collects filtrate from several nephrons

A waste product from the breakdown of muscles

The removal of the amino acid group from an amino acid molecule

a method of removing waste from the blood when kidney failure occurs

The second set of convulutions of the kidney tubule; it received the forming urine after it has passed through the loop of Henle

The blood vessel that leaves a glomerulus in the kidney

the process whereby carrier proteins assist the movement of substances through the cell membrane

the fluid remaining after filtration has taken place

the double walled cup like structure at the end of each kidney tubule; it collects filtred water and other substances from the blood

The filtration of blood in the kidney

tightly coiled mass of capillaries that is surrounded by the expanded part of each kidney tubule

process in which the blood is passed through an artificial kidney

occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to excrete wastes and control the level of fluid the body

solid masses of crystals that develop within the kidneys

the principle excretory organs of the human body; they filter waste from the blood and regulate the balance of water and salts in the blood plasma

organ that is part of the excretory system

the u shaped section of the kidney tubule; plays a major role in the reabsorption of water and salts from the filtrate

one of a pair of organs for gas exchange occupying the chest cavity

the functional unit of the kidney

dialysis occurring inside the body using the peritoneum as the membrane across which wastes can be removed

the membrane that lines the inside of the abdominal cavity

the capillaries in the kidney that surround the convoluted tubules of the nephron, the loop of henle and the collecting duct

the first set of convolutions of the kidney tubule, located between the glomerular capsule and the loop of henle
