1. 3 functions of the urinary system Excrete nitrogenous wastes – Urea produced from the metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids Other animals produce ammonia or uric acid Regulate water balance Regulate salt balance

3. Filters the blood Produces urine (contains urea) Regulates water and salt balance

4. Transports urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder

5. Stores the urine. Has specialized expandable cells

6. Carries the urine to the outside of the body

11. Everything in the blood smaller than blood cells or large proteins is filtered into the nephron at the glomerulus/bowman’s capsule Vital materials -sugars -amino acids -water -NaCl Are reabsorbed into the blood, so they do not leave the body Salts are secreted into urine if their concentration in the blood is too high, H+ secreted depending on pH, poisons secreted Urine is excreted from the body

13. ADH Anti-diuretic hormone Produced by the pituitary gland (in the brain) Travels to kidney and targets the cells in the collecting duct – Makes them more permeable to water More water leaves the filtrate (urine) and is returned to the body

14. Make 6-8 questions Half respiratory/half urinary Cannot be a question from objectives One must include a sketch, but not just ask to identify Work with partner to come up with GOOD questions – We will exchange at end of the hour
