11
Q

How is blood flow regulated to the glomerulus?

A

when osmolarity goes up, filtration and urine formation decrease and water is retained. When osmolarity goes down, filtration and urine formation increase and water is lost by way of the urine.

Q

connects the renal artery to the glomerular capillary network in your kidney’s nephron, starting the filtering process. It also takes action that controls blood pressure.

16
Q

Functional unit of the kidney

A

Nephron

17
Q

What roles do the endothelium, tight junctions, and fenestrations in capillaries play in filtration?

A

Prevents large proteins and cells from appearing in the filtrate

18
Q

Does the plasma membrane play a critical role in the regulation of intracellular fluid composition?

A

Yes, plasma leaks back into the lymphatic system and gets distributed to different parts of the body

19
Q

How is blood filtered through the kidney? (Arteries and veins)

A

renal artery, segmental artery, interlobar artery, arcuate artery, interlobular artery, afferent arteriole, glomerulus (can go to neprhon loop) , efferent arterioles, peritubular capillaries, interlobular vein, arcuate vein, interlobar vein

20
Q

How is blood filtered through the kidney? (nephron loop)

A

proximal convoluted tube, descending tube, loop of Henle, ascending tube, distal convoluted tube, collecting duct

21
Q

Hormone that promotes sodium reabsorption promoting the retention of water

A

Aldosterone

22
Q

Hormone that constantly regulates and balances the amount of water in your blood

A

ADH

23
Q

21 amino acid peptides that are powerful vasoconstrictors

A

Endothelin

24
Q

Hormones that promote the excretion of water and sodium

A

Natriuretic hormones

25
Q

Hormone that decreases blood calcium levels

A

Parathyroid hormone

26
Q

increase water loss by interfering with the recapture of solutes and water from the forming urine

A

Diuretic hormone

27
Q

How do the kidneys help with acid-base balance?

A

secrete hydrogen into the urine as sodium is reabsorbed which helps to raise pH in blood

28
Q

How is sodium regulated?

A

regulated by renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and ADH

29
Q

How is potassium regulated?

A

regulated by how much sodium is present

30
Q

How is chloride regulated?

A

regulation closely mirrors that of Na+

31
Q

How is calcium regulated?

A

PTH

32
Q

How is phosphate regulated?

A

calcium and PTH

33
Q

How is bicarbonate regulated?

A

Lungs convert HCO3 to CO2 which is exhaled

34
Q

How are nitrogenous wastes regulated?

A

Breakdown of proteins during metabolism

35
Q

How are drugs and hormones eliminated?

A

Urine

36
Q

How are the kidneys involved in vitamin D synthesis?

A

In order for vitamin D to become active, it must undergo a hydroxylation reaction in the kidney
