Urine contains:
- Salts
- Water
- Urea
Amount varies on the condition a person is operating
Salt + H2O affects the composition of tissue fluid

2.74 ADH
2.74 describe the role of ADH in regulating the water content of the blood
Anti diuretic hormone - ADH
Produced in the hypothalamus
- Flows to the bloodstream
- Target is the kidney
Effect of ADH
- Control and alter the quantity of water in the blood
- Ability to make the blood more or less concentrated
- Tissue fluid needs to be isotonic with the cytoplasm of the cell
ADH targets the collecting duct
- Allows more water to come out of the collecting duct
- Collecting duct ===selective reabsorption===> Blood
- ADH makes collecting duct walls more porous
- Water goes back into the blood
Consequence of ADH secretion
- Urine more concentrated
- Lower volume
ADH response to hot days, cold days, dehydration

2.73 Glucose reabsorption
2.73 understand that selective reabsorption of glucose occurs at the proximal convoluted tubule
Selective reabsorption of glucose
Reabsorption - Glomerular filtrate => Blood
End of the nephron: Urine
- Normally urine does not have glucose
- If there is glucose in the urine - diabetes
Proximal convoluted tubule (first)
- Glucose is removed
- Taken back into the blood
Selective reabsorption of glucose

End of the nephron: Urine
- Normally urine does not have glucose
- If there is glucose in the urine - diabetes
Proximal convoluted tubule (first)

2.72 Water reabsorption
2.72 understand that water is reabsorbed into the blood from the collecting duct
Bowman's Capsule - location of ultrafiltration
Dissolved contents of the blood are forced into glomerular filtrate
When filtration occurs - will filter out too much water therefore selective reabsorption occurs
Selective reabsorption of water occurs in the collecting duct:
Filtrate reaches the collecting duct
- Water is removed from the filtrate
- Returned back into the blood vessels
- Back into the bloodstream
- Selected and reabsorbed into the blood
Bowman's Capsule - location of ultrafiltration

2.71 Ultrafiltration
2.71 describe ultrafiltration in the Bowman’s capsule and the composition of the glomerular filtrate
Nephron - Structure which carries out the filtration of blood
Produces:
- Filtered blood ("cleaned blood")
- Urine (the waste)
Urine - Water (H2O), salts, urea (N)
Beginning of the nephron structure begins at the Bowman's capsule
Where ultrafiltration begins
Filtration of blood:
1. Blood arriving in the kidney
Afferent arteriole
High pressure (come from an artery)
2. Blood leaving the kidney
Efferent arteriole
Narrow blood vessel (smaller than afferent arteriole)
3. Afferent ==> Efferent
Blood develops a high pressure
Blood pressure increases in glomerulus
4. High pressure forces the liquid in blood (plasma, which includes H2O, salts, amino acids, glucose, urea) into the inside of the Bowman's capsule (and consequently into the glomerula filtrate)
5. Glomerula filtrate
Plasma contains H2O, salts, amino acids, glucose, urea
Blood has been filtered by high pressure
Forces the liquid into the tube

2.70 Nephron Structure
2.70 describe the structure of a nephron, to include Bowman’s capsule and glomerulus, convoluted tubules, loop of Henlé and collecting duct
Nephron - functional unit of the kidney (filtration, controlling of composition of blood)
Aorta - taking blood into the kidney (renal artery)
Urine goes down into the ureters and into the bladder for excretion
Filtered blood goes back into the bloodstream through the renal vein (returns to the vena cava)
- Cortex
- Medulla
- Pelvic region - Space where the urine collects and drains down into the ureter
Kidney made up of millions of tubular structures (nephrons)
Tube starts on the edge of the medulla - dead end structure shown in diagram
Bowman's capsule - the dead end structure
Convoluted tubules - twisted sections
Dip in the nephron - Loop of Henlé
Bowman's Capsule - contains tight knot blood vessels [Glomerulus]
First twisted section - PCT (Proximal convoluted tubules)
Second twisted section - DCT (Distal convoluted tubules)

2.68b Osmoregulation
understand how the kidney carries out its roles of excretion and of osmoregulation
The kidney can control the amount of water and salts in the bloodstream, keeping the blood and tissue fluid isotonic and therefore maintaining the function of the cells
Osmoregulation
Osmo - osmosis (less conc. ==> more conc.)
Regulation - control
[1]
The blood circulating into the tissue could be very concentrated or dilute, causing the tissue fluid to be hypertonic or hypotonic - both of these conditions could remove or add too much water to the cells, causing the cells to lose its function
[2]
The kidneys keep the tissue fluid isotonic - controlling the composition of the blood
(Blood forms the tissue fluid)
Excess water and salts removed and excreted down into the ureter

(Blood forms the tissue fluid)
Excess water and salts removed and excreted down into the ureter
2.68a Excretion
understand how the kidney carries out its roles of excretion and of osmoregulation
Both the liver and kidneys remove toxic amino acids and urea from the body by breaking the amino acids down into urea (in the liver) and converting the urea into urine (in the kidneys), finally excreting it out of the body through the bladder in the form of urine
Urea, contains nitrogen
Nitrogen toxic to body - unable to store
Amino acids - Normally used for growth
Excess amino acids must be excreted (liver and kidneys)
1. Liver
- Blood circulates to the liver
- Amino acids in blood broken down
- Converted into urea
- Returns to the bloodstream
2. Kidneys
- Blood circulates to both kidneys
- Kidneys filter urea from blood
- Urea added to water to form urine
- Urine flows down into the bladder via ureters
- Filtered blood returns to the bloodstream in veins without toxic amino acids and urea

2.67b Human organs of Excretion
recall that the lungs, kidneys and skin are organs of excretion
1. Lungs
- Carbon dioxide (waste from respiration)
2. Kidneys
- Excess H2O
- Urea (nitrogen waste from amino acids, because of inability to store amino acids)
- Salts
3. Skin
- Sweat (H2O and salts)
- to a lesser extent, urea

- Carbon dioxide (waste from respiration)
2. Kidneys

- Salts
3. Skin
- Sweat (H2O and salts)
- to a lesser extent, urea
2.67a Excretion in plants
recall the origin of carbon dioxide and oxygen and waste products of metabolism and their loss from the stomata of a leaf
Plants excrete oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) depending on whether they are carrying out photosynthesis or respiration
1. Photosynthesis
- Leaf absorbing light energy, producing oxygen
- CO2 + H2O -> C6H12O6 + O2 (Excretion - the release of metabolic waste)
- Waste excreted through the stomata
2. Respiration
- C6H12O6 + O2 -[Enzyme reactions]-> ATP + CO2 + H2O
Aerobic respiration
CO2 is metabolic waste - excretion

Original form is susceptible to being killed by metheciline (antibiotic)
Random mutation - gives it ability to break down metheciline (resistant)
2 forms - (1st definition of evolution)
2nd form increases because the 1st form dies out

3.2 Fertilisation
Understand that fertilisation involves the fusion of a male and female gamete to produce a zygote that undergoes cell division and develops into an embryo
Adult male + Adult female
Diploid cells (2n) have complete set of chromosomes
In humans 2n = 46
Diploid cells divide (with meiosis) to create gametes with haploid set (n - ½ a set; 23 in humans)
Gametes in male - sperm
Gametes in female - egg
Fertilisation
Sexual reproduction
Cells are brought together - joined/fused together
Forms one cell (Chromosomes: n + n = 2n)
New cell has 46 chromosomes - Zygote
Combination of male and female chromosomes
Zygote goes through mitosis - Cells divide to give two cells
Both contain 46 chromosomes
All cells have 2n / diploid number of chromosomes
Sufficient cells -> creates embryo

Stages of Mitosis
1. Interphase - Resting stage
DNA replication
Unable to see chromosomes
2. Prophase - Nucleus membrane breaks down
Chromosomes are now visible
Pair of chromatids
Beginning of mitosis
3. Late Prophase - Chromatids move towards spindles
Network of protein molecules (Spindle / fibres)
Extend from one pole of the cell to the other
4. Metaphase - Centramere joins to spindle fibre
Chromosomes are in the middle
5. Anaphase - Separation of the pair of chromatids
Spindle fibre shortens
Pulls chromatids apart
Move to the poles of the cell
6. Telophase - End of mitosis
Nucleus begins to reform around the chromosomes
Formation of two nuclei
Two sets of chromosomes at opposite ends of the cell
=======
Cytokinesis - Cell splits into two
NOT part of mitosis
Membrane fuses across the equator to form two new cells
Both cells have one chromosome - Same as the parental cell
