Flashcards

Glucose Reabsorption

Glucose is reabsorbed from the filtered liquid in the renal tubules and returned to the bloodstream through the renal vein.

Alcohol and Urination

Alcohol inhibits the production of vasopressin, a hormone that regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased urination.

Exercise and Somatropin

Somatropin, also known as growth hormone, is released in response to exercise, stimulating growth and muscle development.

Essential Amino Acids

Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot synthesize and must be obtained through diet.
