chemical and biological reactions in the body”. Organs of excretion: Skin: Salt and water in sweat Lungs: Removal of CO2 from respiration in every body cell. (CO2 lowers blood pH and can lead to death). Kidneys: Removal of nitrogenous waste in urine. (Too much can lead to kidney stones and bone loss.) Urea is produced from excess amino acids. Nitrogenous Excretion: When proteins are metabolised they produce carbon dioxide and water‚ but also nitrogen-containing products. To metabolise amino

P4: Explain the role of the kidney in the homeostatic control of water balance P5: Explain dysfunction in relation to water balance and possible treatments M3: Discuss dysfunction in relation to water balance and possible treatments D2: Analyse the impact on the human body of dysfunctions in relation to water balance For P4‚ I’m going to outline the physiological overview of the kidneys and then I am going to explain the renal system. Also I am going to explain the kidneys in more detail.

The Excretory System • Main functions of the excretory system are: o to concentrate wastes and expel them from the body o to regulate fluids and water within the body • Most metabolic wastes and toxins are dissolved in the body’s internal environment‚ so the maintenance of the body fluids is essential for keeping the body free of waste products enabling it to function properly. Excretion in Invertebrates and Non-mammaliam Vertebrates • Single celled organisms and simple multicellular

OSMOSIS ASSESSMENT TASK Introduction Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from an area where they are in high concentration to an area of low concentration‚ down a concentration gradient. Hypothesis: Will a high concentration of salt solution affect the mass of a potato chip? Variables Controlled variables: -The sizes of the potato chips. Bigger size of potato chips will weigh heavier and the smaller potato chips will weigh lighter‚ if we don’t use the same size of potato chips

Homeostasis: The process of the body maintaining a constant internal environment‚ despite any external changes. Homeostasis ensures that the following are kept the same: Body temperature Amount of water in our body Blood glucose levels Breathing rate Heart rate How are things kept the same? 1. Receptors: They detect a change in the things such as temperature 2. Processing: Centre receives information and coordinates a response 3. Effects: Produce a response that ensures our body temperature stays

the process by which the body regulated the osmotic pressure of any organism’s fluids in order to keep the homeostasis of the organisms’ water level constant. Therefore osmoregulation is used to keep the bodily fluid from being too diluted or too concentrated. An osmotic pressure is used to measure the ability of water to move from one solution to another solution through osmosis. Osmotic pressure refers to tendency for a liquid solution to diffuse therefore moving from a lower to higher concentration
