74
Antidiuretic hormone
hormone produced in the pituitary gland to control the reabsorption of water by the renal tubeles
75
Aldosterone
hormone produced by the adrenals to control sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion
76
Bowman's capsule
cup-like capsule enclosing each glomerulus
77
Creatinine
non-protein nitrogenous waste produced by muscle cell metabolism
78
Electrolytes
chemical substance that carries an electrical charge
79
Erythropoietin (EPO)
hormone produced by the kidney to stimulate the production of RBCs in bone marrow
80
Filtration
passage of substances from the glomerulus to Bowman's capsule
81
Glomerulus
collection of capillaries in the renal cortex where filtration takes place
82
Kidney
pair of retroperitoneal bean-shaped organs where urine is formed
83
Nephron
functional unit of the kidney
84
Nitrogen
electrolyte component of protein and amino acids
85
Nitrogenous wastes
waste product of protein metabolism; excreted in urine
86
Potassium
electrolyte secreted from the bloodstream to the renal tubules and then excreted in the urine
87
Reabsorption
substances return to the bloodstream from the renal tubules
88
Renal cortex
outer section of the kidney
89
Renal medulla
inner section of the kidney
90
Renal pelvis
central collecting region of the kidney
91
Renal tubules
small tubes in the kidney where reabsorption takes place
92
Renin
proteolytic enzyme produced by the kidney to regulate blood pressure
93
Sodium
electrolyte in the blood and urine; regulated by the kidneys
94
Urea (BUN)
non-protein nitrogenous waste that results from protein breakdown
broken down protein is converted to ammonia which the liver converts to urea which is excreted in urine
95
Ureter
tube that carries urine from kidneys to bladder
96
Urethra
tube that carries urine from the urinary bladder to outside the body
97
Uric acid
metabolic byproduct produced by the liver; excreted in urnine
98
Urinary bladder
sac that temporarily stores urine
99
Urinary catheterization
catheter placed in the urethra to the bladder to obtain urine sample or relieve obstruction
100
Urine
water and waste products produced by the kidneys and stored in the bladder
101
Voiding
emptying of urine from the bladder; micturition or urination
102
Azotemia
increase in non-protein nitrogenous wastes in the blood; aka uremia
103
Calculus
another name for a stone; most often to describe small sedimentary particles in urine
104
Dialysis
separation of waste products from the bloodstream
105
Diuresis
increased excretion of urine
106
Enuresis
inability to control excretion; aka incontinence
107
Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD)
disease w/ a collection of symptoms including cystitis, urethritis, hematuria, dysuria, and cyrstalluria
