Chapter 26 Flashcards
THE PROCESS BY WHICH WATER AND SOLUTES MOVE FROM VARIOUS REGIONS OF THE NEPHRON BACK INTO BLOOD IS CALLED______?
Reabsorption
DIABETICS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH ANOREXIA OR STARVING COULD HAVE THESE IN THEIR URINE
KETONE BODIES
The______ transports urine from the kidney to the bladder.
Ureter
THE PROCESS BY WHICH MOLECULES MOVE FROM PERITUBULAR CAPILLARIES INTO THE NEPHRON TUBULE IS CALLED _____?
SECRETION
Kidneys produce_________ TO INCREASE CALCIUM ABSORPTION FROM THE SMALL INTESTINES
CALCITRIOL
THIS REGION OF THE NEPHRON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 15% OF THE WATER REABSORPTION BUT NO REABSORPTION OF SOLUTES.
DESCENDING LOOP OF HENLE
CHOOSE THE PROPER ORDER IN WHICH FILTRATE TRAVELS THROUGH A NEPHRON.
PCT
DESCENDING LOOP
ASCENDING LOOP
DCT
COLLECTING DUCT
Most reabsorption occurs at the __________
Proximal convoluted tubule
Due to the presence of the liver, the _________ kidney is lower that the _______ kidney
Right ; Left
These blood vessels supply each nephron
Afferant arteriole
THESE BLOOD VESSELS ARE A CONTINUATION OF EFFERENT ARTERIOLES THAT RECEIVE MOLECULES REABSORBED FROM THE NEPHRON.
-PERITUBULAR CAPILLARIES
THIS PORTION OF THE NEPHRON SURROUNDS THE GLOMERULUS TO RECEIVE MOLECULES THAT ARE FILTERED FROM BLOOD.
BOWMAN’S CAPSULE
This is the first region of the male urethra
Prosthetic urethra
This muscle contracts to push urine into the urethra
Detrusor muscle
The average PH of normal urine is_____?
6.0
Kidneys produce______to stimulate production of red blood cells
Erythropoietin
THE INNER REGION OF THE KIDNEY THAT CONTAINS THE LOOP OF HENLE AND PAPILLARY DUCTS IS CALLED THE _______
RENAL MEDULLA
FUROSEMIDE (LASIX) ACTS AS A DIURETIC BY BLOCKING
NA-K-CL TRANSPORTER OF THE ASCENDING LOOP
THE OUTER REGION OF THE KIDNEY THAT CONTAINS RENAL CORPUSCLES AND CONVOLUTED TUBULES IS CALLED THE __________
RENAL CORTEX
On average , the body produces ______ of urine
1-2 liters
This involuntary smooth muscle relaxes to open the urethra.
Internal urethral sphincter
This hormone increases reabsorption of what we when dehydrated
Antidiuretic hormone
The renal artery delivers blood into a kidney at the ______
Hilum
This hormone constricts afferent and efferent arterioles to decrease glomerular filtration rate ( GFR).
Angiotensin 2
The glomerulus is a _______capillary
Fenestrated
This region of the nephron is the target of parathyroid hormone
Distal convulsed tubule
To maintain blood PH, kidneys secrete _________
H+ (hydrogen)
To maintain blood PH, kidneys reabsorb _________
Bicarbonate ions
Why is albumin not found at a high level in urine
Too large to be filtered
This hormone increases urine output and therefore decreases blood volume and blood pressure.
Atrial natriuretic peptide
This organ monitors osmolarity and produces ADH when osmolarity is high .
Hypothalamus
