Chapter 26&27 Flashcards
Filtration
getting bad stuff out of the blood
Reabsorption
reabsorbs back into the vascular system
Secretion
active transport back into nefron
Functions of the kidneys
excrete waste
maintain fluid balance
regulate RBC production
Hilum
renal artery and nerves enter, renal vein and ureter exit kidneys here
Medulla
inner area, surrounds renal sinus
Renal pyramids
cone shaped, apex of pyramid is renal papilla, points twords sinus
Place these in the correct order: A) Renal Pelvis B) Calyces C) Urethra D) Bladder E) Ureter
B) Calyces A) Renal Pelvis E) Ureter D) Bladder C) Urethra
Juxtamedullary Nephrons
loops of Henle extend deep into the medulla
The renal corpuscle consist of what
Bowman capsule and Glomerulus
Visceral Layer
inner specialized podocytes that wrap around the glomerular capillaries
Fenestrate
window like openings in the endothelial cells of the glomerular capillaries
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
sight of renin production, in fluence flow
Place the order of Nephron in correct order: A) Proximal Tubule B) Bouman Capsule C) Distal Tubule D) Loop of Henle
B) Bouman capsule
A) Proximal Tubule
D) Loop of Henle
C) Distal Tubule
What forces filtrate across filtration membrane
pressure difference
Filtration membrane
filtration barrier, it prevents blood cells and proteins from entering lumen of bowmns capsule
Some albumin and small hormonal proteins enter the filtrate but they are usually
reabsorbed
Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure
the pressure inside the bowman capsule (10 mm Hg) moves fluid from the Bowman capsule into the blood
Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure
produced by the concentration of blood proteins in the glomerular capillaries (30 mm Hg) moves fluid from the bowman capsule into the blood by osmosis
Filtration Pressure
net pressure
Dilation of afferent arterioles/COnstriction of efferent arterioles increase glomerular capillary pressure, increasing filtration pressure, thus
glomerular filtration
Autoregulation
involves changes in degree of constriction in afferent arterioles
Sympathetic Stimulation
decreases renal blood flow
Degree Renal Flow
during shock or intense exercise intense sympathetic stimulation, rate of filtration formation drops to a few mm
Reabsorption in PCT
filtrate volume reduced by 65% due to osmosis of water, almost all glucose is reabsorbed here
Potassium and Chlorine are symported in
the ascending limbs of the loop of henle
Tubular Secretion
brings back into filtrate
Where does tubular secretion take place
distal convuluted tubules
Potassium is secreted into the distal tubules by
active transport
Production of what is based on the level of ADH
Urine production
In order to concentrate urine and prevent a large volume of water from being lost, the kidney must maintain a high concentration of solutes in the
medulla
Vasa recta removes
excess water and solutes that enter the medulla
Loops of Henle are a
counter current multiplier system
