| 11. | Each nephron begins with a secretion of wastes from the blood into the urine.
|
| 12. | The mesonephros go on to form nephrons and other associated structures of the kidneys.
|
| 13. | This can block the flow of urine causing the death of the respective nephrons.
|
| 14. | Similar to mammalian species, the functional units of avian kidneys are the nephrons.
|
| 15. | Birds have small glomeruli, but about twice as many nephrons as similarly sized mammals.
|
| 16. | Vasopressin regulates the body's nephrons.
|
| 17. | The trimethoprim portion acts to prevent potassium excretion in the distal tubule of the nephron.
|
| 18. | Together they can form an insoluble precipitate which blocks the distal part of the nephrons.
|
| 19. | Aldosterone receptors are present on the epithelial cells of the distal nephron in the kidney.
|
| 20. | Within the cortex, nephrons are organized around central veins of the efferent venous system.
