HOMEOSTASIS AND EXCRETORY SYSTEM

Activity 1: Learn to Rest

Complete the concept map. Based on the given animal, choose the correct term
applicable to their reduced state of activity using the given keywords: hibernation,
estivation, torpor. Write the term inside the circle. Then, answer the questions.
Activity 3: Explain It!
Saltwater and freshwater fishes have both adaptive mechanisms for osmoregulation.
First, identify whether the illustrated fish is a freshwater or saltwater fish based on the in
and out of water and solutes to maintain balance. Then, explain the given illustrations in
relation to osmoregulation.

Activity 5: Complete the Table

Complete the table below by identifying the functions of the key parts of the excretory
system.

No. Structure Function

Filter out waste and other fluids from the body.

1 Kidney
Maintains balance of water, salt and other minerals

2 Renal vein Carries blood from the ureter and kidney to the heart

3 Renal artery Carries blood from the heart to the kidney

4 Ureter Carries urine from the kidney to the bladder

5 Urinary bladder Stores urine before emptying through the urethra

6 Urethra Tube that urine passes through outside the body

Valve that holds urine from going out of the bladder

7 Urinary sphincter
into the urethra

Produces glomerular filtrate and filters out blood by

8 Glomerulus
allowing wastes and fluid to enter the glomerulus

Allows smaller molecules and water molecules to flow

9 Bowman’s capsule into the bowman’s capsule’s semi permeable wall
which forms glomerular filtrate
 Retrieves salt and water in urine to make urine more
10 Loop of Henle concentrated than blood to lessen water requirement
to live

Collects the urine from the nephrons and transports it

11 Collecting duct
into the ureter and renal pelvis.

Reabsorbs the glomerular filtrate in accordance with

12 Proximal tubule homeostasis requirements due to it being the
nephron’s most reabsorptive part

Activity 6: The Process of Excretion

Describe the four major key functions of the excretory system based on the given
illustration on the left. Explain your answers thoroughly.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Activity 2: Complete me!

Complete the table by filling in the hormone released by glands on the first column.

Gland Hormone Function

pineal gland
 
Melatonin Produces melatonin based on information
received from the light-dark cycle of the
environment to help time the circadian
rhythm and sleep

pituitary gland Antidiuretic Produces hormones that help with energy

hormone, FSH, conversion and management (metabolism),
Growth hormone, growth, blood pressure, sexual maturation
Luteinizing among other bodily functions
hormone,
Oxytocin,
Prolactin,
Vasopressin,

thyroid gland Calcitonin, Produces hormones that lower the blood’s

Parathyroid, calcium levels, release calcium into the
Thyroxin bloodstream from the bones and regulate
bodily functions such as, digestion, heart
rate, brain development and muscle control

Adrenaline, Cortisol Produces hormones that

increase heart rate, blood
pressure, pupil size, etc.,
adrenal gland
expand the airways and
regulate the stress
response of the body
Glucagon, Insulin Regulates blood sugar
pancreas and distributes it to the
different parts of the body
Estrogen, Progesterone, These are the primary
Testosterone reproductive organs
which produce sperm for
male and ova for female
gonads
and also secrete
hormones that help with
the body’s sexual and
developmental functions
 Testosterone produces testosterone
which helps with the
production of sperm, the
development of the body
testes
in terms of muscle mass,
bone mass and other
aspects. It also regulates
libido and fat distribution
Estrogen, Progesterone Produces hormones that
help with the development
of female characteristics
as well as other aspects
of the body’s development
such as bone health, the
function of the
cardiovascular system
ovary and all the processes that
happen in the menstrual
cycle. The hormones also
help with the production
of the egg cell and the
development of a fetus
inside the uterus when
fertilization of an egg cell
occurs
