Document Summary
Angiotensin i: no bio"al activity, exists solely as a precursor to angiotensin ii. Raas (big chart): macula densa cells purple, part of dct, arterioles : Afferent arterial has group of juxtaglomerular cells. Juxtaglomerular cells special muscle cells, have granules: mesangial cells: Coffee w high but not low caffeine content augments fluid & electrolyte excretion at rest: conclusion: caffeine intake of 6 mg kg^-1 in form of coffee can induce an acute diuretic effect. 3 mg kg^-1 does not disturb fluid balance in healthy casual coffee drinking adults at rest. Gain an appreciation of the seminal tract and constituent anatomy. Identify the anatomical components of the male reproductive tract on diagrams: describe the layers surrounding the testis, explain how the testis attain these layers from a dvlptal pov, explain the symptoms of prostate cancer using anatomical knowledge. Identify: seminal vesicles, vas deferens, prostate gland.
