Cells that detect high blood concentration are called:

• Chemoreceptors

• Osmoreceptors

• Thermoreceptors

• Nociceptors

Recall what structure carries filtrate from the nephron to the renal pelvis.

• Distal convoluted tubule

What takes place in the Bowman's capsule?

• ultrafiltration

• excretion

• reabsorption of water by osmosis

• reabsorption of glucose

Which of the following is nitrogenous waste?

• urea

• salts

• amino acids

• glucose

What is osmoregulation?
