Ch 18: Online 3 Flashcards
Urinary System
Inflammation of a kidney
Nephritis
The floor or the urinary bladder, has no rugae
Trigone
A nitrogenous waste product of amino acid metabolism
Urea
A measure of the dissolved materials in urine
Specific gravity
Decreased urinary output
Oliguria
The fluid found in Bowman’s capsule
Renal filtrate
Located behind the peritoneum
Retroperitoneal
The process by which glucose is reabsorbed
Active transport
Capillaries in which renal filtration takes place
Glomerulus
The capillaries that surround a renal tubule
Peritubular
The limit of the quantity of a substance that can be reabsorbed
Threshold level
Increased urinary output
Polyuria
Takes urine from a kidney to the bladder
Ureter
The hormone that increases the reabsorption of sodium ions
Aldosterone
The process by which small proteins are reabsorbed
Pinocytosis
The expanded end of a renal tubule, encloses a glomerulus
Bowman’s capsule
The peptide that decreases the reabsorption of sodium ions
Atrial natriuretic
The cells that secrete renin when blood pressure decreases
Juxtaglomerular
Form the inner layer of Bowman’s capsule
Podocytes
Kidney stones
Calculi
Urination
Micturition
The voluntary urethral sphincter
External urethral sphincter
Consists of a glomerulus and a Bowman’s capsule
Renal corpuscle
Painful urination
Dysuria
A funnel-shaped extension of a renal pelvis that collects urine
Calyx
