Biology BMAT Questions Set and Answers

The movement of the bolus of food is called peristalsis Ultra filtration is when small molecules leave the blood from the glomerulus to bowman's capsule ADH affects the permeability of collecting ducts The molecules that leave the blood at the glomerulus and enter the nephron: water, salts, urea, amino acids and glucose Plasma proteins do not enter the nephron as they are too big glucose and amino acids are always reabsorbed urea is never reabsorbed water and salts are reabsorbed depending on presence of ADH structure of a nephron renal artery -- glomerulus -- bowman's capsule -- proximal convoluted tubule -- loop of henle -- distal convoluted tubule -- collecting duct in a diabetic patient, not all glucose is reabsorbed so there may be glucose in the urine in an x-linked disorder more males are affected than females in a recessive disorder, it usually skips a generation males are xy females are xx gametes are haploid autosomal cells are diploid mitosis occurs in autosomal cells
