This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Ch25-Excretion - Stiklickas, Zaydon, Spellane, Murphy, Gomez, Blood Pressure when low, causes secretion of Renin, Passive Transport occurs within the thin portion of the ascending loop for Chloride, Angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone, which increases Aquaporins, Glomerulus allows for formation of filtrate which contains Potassium, Loop of Henle directs filtrate to Distal Convoluted Tubule, Aquaporins allow for water diffusion and reabsorption from the Collecting Ducts, Blood Pressure when low, causes secretion of ADH, Nephron which is the functional unit of the kidney, facilitates excretion of metabolic wastes via Secretion, Passive Transport utilizes aquaporins for the reabsorption of Water, Proximal Convoluted Tubule repsonsible for majority of reabsorption of ions and water; directs filtrate to Loop of Henle, Active Transport also acts to reabsorb chloride and sodium within Collecting Ducts, Loop of Henle facilitates reabsorption via Passive Transport, Glomerulus allows for formation of filtrate which contains Water, Nephron which is the functional unit of the kidney, facilitates excretion of metabolic wastes via Filtration, Blood Pressure fluctuations are regulated by kidneys which contain Nephron, Filtration is a nonspecific process which occurs within the Glomerulus, Distal Convoluted Tubule actively secretes sodium and calcium back into blood and directs filtrate to Collecting Ducts, Passive Transport occurs within the thin portion of the ascending loop for Sodium, Reabsorption a selective transepithelium process, which occurs mainly within Proximal Convoluted Tubule, Renin secreted by G cells surrounding glomerulus catalyzes cascade and formation of Angiotensin II
