Lab Test Flashcards
During the process of renal reabsorption fluid moves from the:
Renal tubule into the peritubular capillaries
List the anatomical structures in correct order as they are encountered by blood and filtered fluid during the process of filtration
Afferent arteriole> glomerular capillaries> bowman’s capsule
You find glucose in a urine sample while doing urine analysis. What condition is the person most likely to be suffering from?
Diabetes mellitus
In the presence of ADH the volume of urine will
Decrease
The presence of protein in a urine sample would most likely signify?
Kidney disease with possible damage to filtration membrane
H+ ions are secreted into the renal tubule to compensate for acidosis. The movement of H+ would be from:
Blood vessels into the line of the renal tubule
In the presence of aldosterone what component of the filtrate is reabsorbed?
Na+
What will happen to the urine volume and concentration in the presence of both ADH and aldosterone?
Urine volume will decrease and urine concentration will increase (it will be more concentrated)
A) identify the epithelium seen here which lines the urinary bladder
B) where else would you find this epithelium?
A) transitional epithelium
B) ureter
A) identify the structures the arrow points to
B) Histologically in the slide, where would this structure be absent?
Glomerulus; medulla
A) Identify A and B which lie in the lumen of parts of a nephron.
B) how are the cells specialized in structure A to help in reabsorption?
A) PCT; DCT
B) cells have microvilli; which increase the surface area
This is a slide of the ureter. Which layers do arrow A and B point to?
Submucosa, muscularis layer
What do arrows A and B point to?
Nephron loop, collecting duct
Identify A, B and C which form the filtration membrane
Glomerular capillary endothelium, basal lamina, visceral layer of bowman’s capsule
A) identify structured A and B
B) which part of the kidney do these structures lie in?
Glomerulus, renal tubule;cortex
What do arrows A and B point to?
Glomerulus, glomerular capsule
Identify the three structures A, B and C seen at the hilum of the kidney
Renal artery, renal vein and renal pelvis
A) Identify A, B, and C
B) what do the ducts passing through B first open into?
A) cortex, renal pyramid, renal columns
B) minor calyx
A) Identify A, B and C
B) what does C lead into?
A) papilla, minor calyx, major calyx
B) renal pelvis
A) arrow A points to a blood vessel which arises from?
B) Arrow B points to a structure which is present in?
Interlobular artery/cortical both cortex and medulla
A) identify A and B
B) what are the special cells at the junction between C and D called?
A- bowman’s capsule; PCT
B- macula densa
A) Identify structure B (B and C are blood vessels)
B) identify structure C
A- efferent arteriole
B- peritubular capillaries
A) identify A and B
B) What is the function of structures A and B?
Macula densa; JG cells; control flow of filtrate and blood pressure
