Q

where are the kidneys located?

A

retroperitoneal

26
Q

this is the outer area of the kidney

27
Q

this is the inner area of the kidney which surrounds the renal sinus

28
Q

these are cone-shaped structures in the kidney and the base is the boundary between cortex and medulla

A

renal pyramids

29
Q

this calyce converges to form the renal pelvis

30
Q

this is an enlarged chamber formed by major calyces

A

renal pelvis

31
Q

this structure exits at the hilum and connects to the urinary bladder

32
Q

is osmolarity higher in the cortex or medulla?

33
Q

this is a tuft of capillaries in the nephron which receives blood from an afferent arteriole

A

glomerulus

34
Q

this is a renal tubule that forms a cup shape around the glomerulus

A

Bowman’s capsule

35
Q

this type of nephron has a long loop of henle and is heavily involved in the concentration of urine

A

juxtamedullary nephrons

36
Q

this type of nephron includes most nephrons and has a short loop of henle

A

cortical nephrons

37
Q

this is the amount of filtrate produced each minute

38
Q

average urine production/ day

39
Q

what pressure pushes fluid out of the glomerular capillary?

A

capillary hydrostatic pressure

40
Q

what two pressures push back against fluid movement out of the glomeruluar capillary?

A

capsular hydrostatic pressure
blood colloid osmotic pressure

41
Q

this law states that the amount of substance entering an organ equals the amount leaving an organ

A

Fick’s law

42
Q

these cells are enlarged smooth muscle cells that are mechanoreceptors and contain renin

A

juxtaglomerular cells

43
Q

these cells are chemoreceptors that respond to NaCl changes in the filtrate

A

macula densa

44
Q

an increase in NaCl ions in the filtrate triggers the release of ________ from macula densa cells

45
Q

adenosine causes _________ of afferent aterioles, leading to ________ GFR

A

vasoconstriction
decreased

46
Q

afferent and efferent arterioles are controlled by what receptor type

47
Q

sympathetic activation will _________ blood flow and filtration rate

48
Q

constricting the _____ arteriole leads to decreased GFR

49
Q

constricting the _____ arteriole leads to increased GFR

50
Q

PGs cause __________ in the kidneys

A

vasodilation

51
Q

these capillaries are specialized for filtration and have fenestrations

A

glomerular capillaries

52
Q

these capillaries are where most filtrate is reabsorbed and secretion occurs

A

peritubular capillaries

53
Q

these capillaries are important for maintaining proper osmolarity from cortex to medulla

A

peritubular

54
Q

this is where filtrate enters the glomerular capsular space

A

filtration slits between the foot processes of podocytes

55
Q

this is the fraction of blood that enters the glomerulus but is filtered into the renal tubules

A

filtration fraction

56
Q

is capillary oncotic pressure higher at the afferent or efferent arteriole end?

57
Q

this is the volume of plasma that is cleared of a substance in one min

A

renal clearance

58
Q

this substance is used to determine renal clearance because it is freely filtered but not reabsorbed or secreted

59
Q

clearance of inulin = ___

60
Q

________ can significantly increase the renal clearance of a substance to be greater than GFR

61
Q

once something moves into the tubule, it’s next stop is ________, unless it is reabsorbed

A

excretion as urine
