Made of vessels that align with circulatory system vessels
Lymphatic vessels contain:
1. Lymph (a clear, watery fluid)
2. Lymphocytes (cells that fight infections.)
Large amount of lymphocytes form Lymph nodes that filter the blood
Functions of this system:
1. Collect and return fluid in blood
2. Fight infections using lymphocytes.
Functions: Maintain homeostasis by keeping water balance (osmoregulation) and removing wastes
Osmoregulation: The absorption and excretion of water and solutes to maintain water balance

2. Hyperosmotic example -- Marine fish, high salt diet, so they…

Flow of filtrate (waste fluid)
Aquatic animals (fish, amphibians, some reptiles) -- secrete ammonia (NH3) directly
Mammals convert ammonia to Urea (less toxic so uses less water)
Birds, Insects, land reptiles -- use Uric Acid (forms a solid waste, uses least amount of water.)
A glomerulus (bunch of capillaries) is found at the beginning of each nephron
Parts of a nephron:1. Bowman’s Capsule2. Proximal convulated tubule3. Loop of Henle4. The distal convulated
tubule5. Collecting Duct
1 Blood flows into the glomerus.
2. Water, glucose, urea and salts pass through the capillary wall and into the proximal tubule.
3. Protein molecules and blood cells are too big so they stay in the blood.
4. The remaining fluid (called filtrate) passes along the tubule through the loop of Henle.
5. All of the glucose and most of the water and salts are reabsorbed by the blood and leave through the renal vein.
6. Urea and other unwanted substances stay dissolved in the filtrate. They move up the distal tubule, through the collecting duct which joins the ureter.
Filtration: Blood is filtered into
Bowman’s capsule Reabsorption: The good stuff is retained
by the body (salts, glucose, amino acids)
Secretion: H+, potassium, and
ammonium ions move from the blood to the filtrate while it is in the convulated tubules
Urine Concent-ration Increases
Antidiuretic Homone (ADH or Vasopressin)Stimulates reabsorption of water at the
collecting duct (when you’re dehydrated)
Aldosterone: Increases salt (Na+) absorption, which increases water absorption.
Your skin contains sweat glands that not only help you cool off with sweat, but also help you remove excess salts!
