Quiz 2 Part 2 Flashcards
The efferent arteriole leaves the glomerular capsule and gives rise to the?
Peritubular capillaries or the vasa recta.
A nephron consists of what two principal parts?
Renal Corpuscle
Renal Tubule
What is the longest and most
coiled part of the nephron?
The proximal convoluted tubule
What kind of epithelium does the proximal convoluted tubule have?
Simple cuboidal epithelium with prominent microvilli
The collecting duct receives fluid from?
The distal convoluted tubules of several nephrons as it passes back into the
medulla
The flow of fluid from the point where the glomerular filtrate is formed to the point where urine leaves the body is:
glomerular
capsule→proximal convoluted tubule→nephron loop→distal convoluted tubule→collecting duct→papillary duct→minor calyx→major
calyx→renal pelvis→ureter→urinary bladder→urethra.
Three layers of connective tissue protect each kidney what are they from superficial to deep?
Renal Fascia
Perirenal Fat Capsule
Fibrous (renal) Capsule
How does the renal parenchyma- the glandular tissue that forms the urine- appear?
C-shaped in the frontal section.
The parenchyma is divided into what two
zones?
Outer renal cortex
Inner renal Medulla
Extensions of the cortex called renal columns project toward the sinus and?
Divide the medulla into 6 to 10 renal pyramids.
Each pyramid is conical, with a broad base facing the cortex and a blunt point called the?
Renal papilla facing the sinus
One pyramid and the overlying cortex constitute one lobe of the?
Kidney
It is abnormal to find what in the urine?
Glucose
Free hemoglobin
Albumin,
Ketones
Bile pigments
Erythrocytes
Leukocytes
A positive bilirubin Labstix would most likely indicate?
Liver damage
Since ketones are acids, their presence will?
Lower the pH of urine
