Study Notes
Osmoregulation
- The body maintains a stable balance of salt and water by adjusting the amount of fluid excreted.
- This process helps regulate the concentration of molecules in the body.
Cellular Transport
- Molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
- This process requires ATP and is known as active transport.
- In contrast, movement of molecules from high to low concentration does not require ATP.
Liver Function
- The hepatic artery brings low-oxygen nutrient-rich blood to the liver.
- The liver plays a crucial role in the digestive tract, and its function is essential for the body's overall health.
