  30. when water is reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubule by obligatory reabsorption, what does that mean?
    water is following sodium and other ions or molecules to maintain osmotic balance
  31. how does detrusor muscle help with urination?

    increased activity of parasympathetic motor neurons that control smooth muscle of bladder
  36. What anatomical structure is damaged when one has a floating kidney?
    renal fascia (this holds kidney in place)
  37. what is a floating kidney?
    what structure is damaged if this happens ?
    • floating kidney is when kidney is out of normal position.
