3.

What is detrusor?

Detrusor is the muscle layer of the bladder.

4.

What is osmolarity?

Osmolarity is the regulation of the total volume of water in the organism as well as the total concentration of solute in water.

5.

Explain tubular reabsorption.

6.

Explain tubular secretion.

Tubular secretion allows certain blood substances to pass selectively into the filtrate, tubular secretion occurs over the entire length of the renal tubules and the renal collecting tubules.

7.

What is creatinine?

Creatinine is what is produced in the muscles by the degradation of creatine phosphate.

8.

What is cystitis?

Cystitis is the inflammation of the bladder.

9.

What is the function of urochrome?

Urochrome gives urine its normal yellow colour.

10.

What is bilirubinuria?

Bilirubinuria is the presence of bile in the urine, it causes liver disease.

11.

What are renal calculi?

Part 2

7.

What is excretion?

Excretion is the tubular secretion that takes place from the blood to the tubular fluid.

9.

What is renin?

Renin is a hormone secreted by the kidney. It is a catalyst.

10.

What is the function of angiotensin 2?
