Osmoregulation Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

This assignment was documented to a DISTINCTION standard and was one of four assignments that allowed me to earn a distinction as my final grade for the entire unit. This assignment goes into thorough detail about the hormonal system; including thermoregulation, osmoregulation and the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, as well as a description of exocrine and endocrine hormonal glands and how they differ. This Assignment was marked twice as being at a DISTINCTION level from two different ...

Comparative physiology of kidney function - (L32) Questions And Answers 2024 What kind of mammals only have juxta-medullary nephrons? - ANS-Desert mammals who need to conserve water. E.g. kangaroo rat, gerbils Desert mammals will have very long loops of henle. Why? - ANS-Long loops of henle means lots of NaCl pumps. This means these mammals can produce small quantities of concentrated urine (hyper-osmotic to blood) What kind of nephrons do reptiles have? - ANS-Only cortical nephrons s...
