reproductive system
What is the process of making sperm?
Spermatogenesis
what specific functions does the urinary bladder do ?
store and secrete urine
Hormone involved in the distal tubule?
Aldosterone
what do somatic cells undergo?
mitosis
whats the functional unit of the kidney?
what hormone is secreted in the testes?
testosterone
at the secondary spermatocyte stage after following the completion of Meiosis I
what process maintains the osmotic gradient in the medulla?
countercurrent exchange
what hormone plays an important role in the collective duct?
what does the hormone do on that on collective duct?
antidiuretic hormone. it makes the collective duct permeable to water. without antidiuretic hormone it isnt permeable.
When someone gets a vasectomy what does this mean? Do they still discharge ? why?
during vasectomy the tubes that carry sperm from epididymis into ejaculatory duct are cut off/sealed. The sperm gets shut off but the secretion from prostate gland, seminal vesicle, and bulbourethal gland still get discharged.
If you are dehydrated what changes can you expect to happen on the collective ducts?
what causes secretion of atrial natiuretic peptide ? what does it do?
it inhibits the releases of renin and aldosterone
In oogenesis what are the two possible final outcomes in the final stage of meiosis ii?
fertilization occurs and creates an ovum and meiosis ii completes
or the cell never completes meiosis ii and menstruation occurs
what value is it at?
whats the main pressure in the net filtration equation?
its typically at 10 mm Hg.
Glomerus hydrostatic pressure is the main pressure
what are the two ways aldosterone is released?
what causes this?
releesed directly and indirectly
aldosterone is directly released through potassium increase in blood
aldosterone is indirectly released through sodium decrease in blood
