Answer to Question #59103 in Cell Biology for tracy guido

Question

32. Organisms use a variety of excretory systems to filter metabolic wastes out of their body fluid (blood, coelomic fluid, or hemolymph). Match each organism to the type of filtration structure it contains.
Prontonephridia metanephridia malpighian tubules Nephrons
annelids insects humans flatworms arachnids molluscs roitfers birds

36
Match each function to its site of action in the nephron.
glomenulus proximal convoluted tubule descending limb of loop of Henle Distal convoluted tubule ascending limb of loop of Henle collecting duct
1, regulation of NaCl and K in bodily fluids by secreting K and reabsorbing NaCL 2. transport of filrate to renal pelvis. 3. filration of blood plasma 4. reabsorption of water only, increasing solute concentration of filtrate 5. reabsorption of nutrients such as glucose. 6. reabsorption of salt only, during filtrate.
