produce gametes and produce hormones

renal failure.

Formation of angiotensin I is triggered by ______.

urine with a lower concentration of sodium ions.

The ________ is a capillary plexus that parallels the nephron loop.

vasa recta

In a(n) ________, each ductus deferens is cut, and either a segment is removed and the ends tied (or cauterized) or silicone plugs are inserted.

vasectomy

Regarding kidney function, in reabsorption,

water and solutes are transported from the tubular fluid, across the tubular epithelium, and into the peritubular fluid.

________ is the process of sloughing off the old functional layer of the endometrium.

Menstruation

Explain whether the blockage of a single lactiferous sinus would or would not interfere with the delivery of milk to the nipple. (Module 26.14B)

Blockage of a single lactiferous sinus would not interfere with the delivery of milk because each gland has several lactiferous sinuses.

Why does a mother's blood volume increase during pregnancy? (Module 27.9B)

A mother's blood volume increases to accommodate for flow through the placenta.

Which of the following statements concerning oogenesis is false?

Acrosomal enzymes from multiple sperm are needed to penetrate the corona radiata.

Explain why blood pressure is higher in glomerular capillaries than in other systemic capillaries. (Module 24.8B)

Blood pressure is higher in glomerular capillaries because the efferent arteriole has a smaller diameter than the afferent arteriole.

Define dialysis. (Module 24.14B)

Dialysis is the process of using an artificial semipermeable membrane to remove wastes and retain plasma proteins in the blood of a person whose kidneys are not functioning properly.
