Endocine
This hormone is released from the posterior pituitary to decrease urine output.
What is ADH?
This muscle is primarily responsible for quiet inspiration.
What is the diaphragm?
This nephron structure collects the filtrate immediately after glomerular filtration.
What is Bowman's capsule?
This receptor detects changes in arterial blood pressure.
What is a baroreceptor?
This organ system removes carbon dioxide from the body.
What is the respiratory system?
These thyroid cells produce T3 and T4.
What are follicular cells?
This gas is the primary stimulus controlling breathing under normal conditions.
What is carbon dioxide?
This nephron segment reabsorbs the greatest amount of filtered water.
What is the proximal convoluted tubule?
This hormone causes blood vessels to constrict during RAAS activation.
What is angiotensin II?
This ion combines with hydrogen ions to help buffer blood pH.
What is bicarbonate?
This hormone is released when blood calcium levels decrease.
What is parathyroid hormone (PTH)?
Hyperventilation causes blood levels of this gas to decrease.
What is carbon dioxide?
This nephron segment is the primary site where aldosterone acts.
What is the distal convoluted tubule?
This mechanism regulates blood pressure within seconds.
What is the baroreceptor reflex?
This kidney function helps remove excess hydrogen ions from the body.
What is proton secretion?
This endocrine gland receives hormones through the hypothalamic-pituitary portal system.
What is the anterior pituitary?
These receptors detect low oxygen levels in arterial blood.
What are peripheral chemoreceptors?
This nephron segment becomes more permeable to water in the presence of ADH.
What is the collecting duct?
This hormone increases blood volume by increasing sodium reabsorption.
What is aldosterone?
This enzyme rapidly converts carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid.
What is carbonic anhydrase?
Unlike the anterior pituitary, this pituitary lobe does not synthesize its own hormones.
What is the posterior pituitary?
When intrapulmonary pressure becomes greater than atmospheric pressure, this occurs.
What is exhalation?
These specialized kidney cells monitor sodium chloride concentration in tubular fluid.
What are the macula densa cells?
This kidney enzyme begins the RAAS cascade.
What is Renin?
This organ system provides the long-term regulation of blood pH.
What is the urinary (renal) system?
