  73. State where  reabsorption  of  useful  substance in the  filtrate  occurs.
    in the renal tubules and collecting ducts
  74. Discuss  how  urine  volume  is regulated.
    • Urine volume is regulated primarily by ADH. 
    • When blood volume decreases, the concentration of salts increases; this change is sensed by the hypothalamus, which in turn stimulates the posterior lobe of the pituitary to release ADH. ADH travels to the collecting ducts where the ADH makes the walls permeable to water.  Consequently, more water is reabsorbed into the bloodstream instead of being excreted, and urine
    • volume decreases.

    • Transurethral resection (TUR) of the bladder is a surgical procedure that is used both to diagnose
    • bladder cancer and to remove cancerous tissue from the
    • bladder. This procedure is also called a TURBT (transurethral resection for bladder tumor).
    • General anesthesia or spinal anesthesia is usually
    • used. During TUR surgery, a cystoscope is passed into the bladder through the urethra. A tool called a resectoscope is used to remove the cancer for biopsy and to burn away any remaining cancer cells.
