Finals Flashcards
a compact network of capillaries that retains
cellular components and medium to high molecularweight
Glomerulus
carries blood to the glomerulus and subdivides into numerous glomerular capillaries
afferent arteriole
a clinically useful measure of renal function. expressed as milliliters of glomerular filtrate formed per minute per kilogram of body weight (mL/min/kg)
Glomerular Filtration Rate
Where blood is filtered
Glomerulus
Used to push plasma through capillary walls
and into the Bowman’s capsule.
Blood pressure
the relationship between these arterioles and the specialized portion of the distal nephron called the
macula densa
Maintains medullary hypertonicity
thin limbs of henle’s loop
used to move more nutrients out of the concentrated urine
Active transport
mean net filtration pressure, permeability of the filtration barrier, and area available for filtration determine?
Glomerular Filtration Rate
The main driving force for filtration is
glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure
A skin reaction occuring in sensitized individuals where antigen is injected into the dermis and reacts with IgG in extracellular spaces
Arthus reaction
A systemic, immune complez-mediated hypersensitivity vasculitis classically attributed to the therapeutic administration of foreign serum proteins or other medications
Serum sickness
They mediate Type 4 hypersensitivity
CD4+ helper T-cells, CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells
This type of hypersensitivity is cell mediated and delayed reaction.
Type 4
the process of emptying the urinary bladder
micturition
increased flow of urine
polyurea
decreased flow of urine
oligurea
absence of urine
stamguria
presence of glucose in urine
glucosurea
presence of protein in urine
proteinurea
excess sodium in urine
natruria
the normal condition of storing urine in the bladder while it fills
Urinary continence
a contractile protein that can cause the platelets to contract
Thrombosthenin
catalyzes conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
prothrombin activator
