Ch15 Flashcards

1
Q

Mary lost lots of weight, and suddenly she was having problems with her urine flow. What would you guess happened, and what caused the problem?

A

Fat helps keep the kidneys anchored against the body trunk wall. When she lost weight, the amount of fat decreased and the kidneys fell to a lower position causing the ureters to kink and inhibit urine flow.

16
Q

What are the structural and functional units of the urinary system ?

A

nephrons

17
Q

The kidneys are located:

A

posterior to the peritoneum and in the superior lumbar region.

18
Q

Blood leaving an afferent arteriole would enter ——.

A

Glomerulus

19
Q

The —– arise from the efferent arteriole, which drains the glomerulus.

A

peritubular capillaries

20
Q

—- are cells of the inner layer of the glomerular capsule.

—– cells of the wall of the glomerular capillaries.

A

Podocytes, Simple squamous epithelial cells

21
Q

The bladder wall contains three layers of smooth muscle, collectively known as the ____, and its mucosa consists of ____.

A

detrusor muscle; transitional epithelium

22
Q

The basic function(s) of the kidney is/are——.

.

A

to regulate blood volume.
to eliminate nitrogenous wastes.
to help regulate blood pressure

23
Q

Which of the following is NOT located in the renal medulla?

	Collecting duct.
	Glomerular capsule.
	Interlobar artery.
	Renal column.
	Renal pyramid.
A

Glomerular capsule

24
Q

What are two functions of the renal tubule and one function of the peritubular capillaries?

A

Renal tubule: carries out tubular reabsorption and secretion

Peritubular capillaries: receive the fluid, nutrients, and needed ions to be returned to the general circulation.

25
Q

Why is the presence of transitional epithelium in the urinary bladder important?

A

It allows the cavity of the bladder to be increased in volume to store urine when necessary.

26
Q

What are the function of nephron?

A

Filtration
Reabsorption
Secretion

27
Q

What is filtrate?

A

Plasma without blood proteins.

28
Q

Filtrate formation is the role of the high-pressure —-.
In reabsorption, done by —-, needed substances are removed from filtrate (amino acid, glucose, water, some ions) and returned to blood.

A

Glomerulus, tubule cells

The tubule cells also secrete additional substances into filtrate.

29
Q

Microscopic examination of a secretion of the kidney shows a thick-walled vessel with glomeruli scattered in the tissue on one side of the vessel but not on the other side. What vessel is this?

A

Arcuate artery

30
Q

— is painful urination.

A

Dysuria

31
Q

How many sphincter are found in the urethra?

A

2

32
Q

List the pathway of glomerular filtrate through nephron.

A

Glomerular capsule-proximal convoluted tubule-loop of Henle-distal convoluted tubule

33
Q

Podocytes are —-.

A

Cells of the inner layer of the glomerular capsule.

Walls of capillaries are simple squamous epithelial cells and termed endothelium

34
Q

Starting at the apex of a medullary pyramid, name the sequence through which urine flows to reach the exterior of the body.

A

Calyx-renal pelvis-ureter-urinary bladder-urethra

35
Q

If one dissected a medullary or renal pyramid, what structure would be found?

A

Collecting tubule

-calyx is the one of the small extensions of the renal pelvis into which the renal papillae open.

36
Q

The expansion of the ureter into the substance of the kidney forms the —.

A

Renal pelvis

Cf. the renal hilus is the area on the medial border of the kidney where the renal artery enters the kidney, and the renal vein and ureter leave the kidney.

37
Q

Urine formation requires ——–.

A

Glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion

38
Q

Where does most reabsorption of substances from the glomerular filtrate occur?

A

Proximal convoluted tubule

Cd. The formation of urine flows through Collecting tubules. No reabsorption occurs here.
