Use the mouse to highlight the answers. They are written in white
Question | Answer | Link |
What the effects of varying sodium concentration within the body? |
|
Link |
Why is sodium not regulated on the basis of plasma concentration? |
|
Link |
What is "salt hunger"? | It's where an animal with low body salt concentrations actually craves salt | Link |
What are the three major sources of potassium? |
|
Link |
By which three methods is potassium homeostasis managed? Which of these make up the chronic and which the acute response |
|
Link |
Which two things control the acute response and how do they do it? |
|
Link |
Which hormone is the main regulator of potassium?? | Aldosterone | Link |
In which two regions of the nephron is H+ secreted? |
|
Link |
What role do buffers play with regard to excreting hydrogen ions? | Once all bicarbonate has been reabsorbed they combine with residual excess hydrogen allowing it to be excreted without the loss of bicarbonate and without making the urine very acidic. | Link |
In ruminants fed low nitrogen diets more urea is reabsorbed. Why? | It is transported to the rumen and converted to microbial protein | Link |
