Part 1: Renal Physiology and Function Flashcards
Kidney Function - T or F
Increase Waste products of metabolism
False (excrete waste products)
Kidney Function
What are the waste products of metabolism
- Creatinine
- Urea
Kidney Function
What is called the excreted wasre products of metabolism?
Urine
Kidney Fucntion - T or F
Kineys will function properly even if not excreted properly
False
Kidney Function - T or F
Regulate acid-base balance
`
True
Kidney Function
What are the 2 organ that helps with acid-base balance?
Lungs and Kidneys
if 1 shutdowns, balance is not maintained
Kidney Function
what is the pH range of blood
7.35 to 7.45
Kidney Function
What is the role of pH in the bodily function?
Regulates and dictates Bodily funciton; chemical reactions are highly dependent on pH levels
Kidney Function
what acidic substrance are responsible for acidic nature of blood
Hydrogen Ions
Kidney Function
urine, basic or acidic? and why
Acidic, because of the hydrogen ions
Kidney Function - T or F
Regulate electrolyte balance
True
Kidney Function
what happens to excess electrolytes in our body?
excreted through urine
Kidney Function - T or F
Regulate semen pressure
False (BLOOD)
baliw
Kidney Function
give 1 system that regulate the blood pressure
Renin Angiostenin Aldosterone System
Kidney Function
RAAS are activated by which stimulants?
LOW:
- Na
- BP
- Water volume
Kidney Function - T or F
Regulate white blood cell production
False (Red blood cell)
Kidney Function
What hormone is produced by kidneys (kidney tissue) responsible for rbc production
EPO (Erythropoietin)
Kidney Function
whate are BUN
Creatinine and Urea
Parts of Kidney
give the urine flow sequence
Renal Pelvis—Ureter—Urinary Bladder—Urethra
Kidney Blood Flow
What blood vessel carries filtered and Unfiltered blood?
Unfiltered - Arteries
Filtered - Veins
Kidney Blood Flow
what serves the filtration part of the kidney? it receives the blood from Arteries
Nephron
Kidney Blood Flow
If you see this card
Memorize the blood flow
u go na ,l.
The nephron
Functional unit of kidney?
Nephron
The nephron
How many nephron for each kidney?
1 to 1.5M each kidney (2-3M per individual)
The nephron
what is called the collected blood waste
inside the body
FILTRATE - not yet urine fucker
The nephron
how does filtrate becomes urine?
when it pass collecting ducts and ureters
The nephron
if u see this carcd
memorize the flow for the nephron now na
The nephron
this is where filtrate are being stored
Bowman’s capsule
The nephron
where the filtrate flows until it turns into urine
Renal Tubules
The nephron
a tuft of 8 capillaries; acts as a sieve during filtrate formation
glomerulus
The nephron
help with reabsorption and secretion because it surrounds the renal tubules
Peritubular capillaries
The nephron
types of nephron
Cortical and Juxtamedullary Nephron
The nephron
type of nephron:
- cortex contains 85% of nephron
- where the removal of waste products and reabsorption of nutrients happens
Cortical Nephron
The nephron
this nephron is situated primarily in the cortex of the kidney
Cortical Nephron
The nephron
What type of nephron:
- Longer loops of henle
- Extends to the medulla
- Concentration of urine take place
Juxtamedullary Nephron
Enumerate Renal Blood Flow
- Renal artery
- Afferent arteriole
- Glomerulus
- Efferent arteriole
- Peritubular capillaries
- Vasa r«ta
- Renal vein
Renal Blood Flow
what supplies blood to the kidney
Renal Artery
Renal Blood Flow
Total Renal blood flow
1200 mL/min (whole blood)
