RAAS - realeased by Juxtaglomerular Apparatus in Kidney, Renin-AngiotensinAldosterone-System, creates angiotensin II which stimulates adrenal glands to produce aldosterone which increases Na+ reabsorption in the distal convoluted tube. ANP - Atrial Natriuretic Peptide, released in the walls of the atrial chamber in response to high blood pressure, prevents NaCl reabsorbtion ADH - Anti Diuretic Hormone, temporally increases the amount of aquaporins in the walls if the collect duct cells. pa...

Tertiary Structure - In biochemistry and molecular biology, this structure of a protein or any other macromolecule is its three-dimensional structure, as defined by the atomic coordinates.[6] Proteins and nucleic acids are capable of diverse functions ranging from molecular recognition to catalysis. Such functions require a precise threedimensional tertiary structure. While such structures are diverse and seemingly complex, they are composed of recurring, easily recognizable tertiary structu...
