Study Guide Flashcards
Glomerular filtration depends on filtration pressure, which is largely determined by
Blood pressure
Acute kidney (renal) failure is not commonly caused by
High blood pressure or diabetes
Chronic kidney (renal) failure is commonly causes by
High blood pressure or diabetes
Unlike acute renal failure, chronic renal failure generally does not result from
Poisons or alcohol abuse
Kegel exercises can help strengthen carols control of
Urinary sphincters, which may help speed her recovery
Pyelonephritis is generally treated with
Intravenous fluids, pain medication, and antibiotics
The afferent arterioles bring blood to the capillaries of the
Glomeruli
The bowman’s or glomerular capsule surrounds the
Glomerulus
The renal pelvis divides into
Small tubes known as calyces
The smooth muscle in the wall of the bladder is the deteusor muscle, which contracts to
Push urine from the bladder into the urethra
The loop of Henle curves back toward the renal corpuscle and starts to twist, becoming the distal convoluted tubule that
Joins with tubules from several nephrons to form collecting ducts
Chronic glomerulonephritis is one of the causes of
Chronic renal disease
The efferent arterioles deliver blood to the
Peritubular capillaries
The glomerulus is the mass of capillaries in the
Bowman capsule that forms the renal corpuscle
The hilum is where the renal artery, renal vein, and ureter
Enter the kidney
The proximal convoluted tubule is directly attached to the
Bowman capsule and eventually straightens out to become the loop of Henle
The amnion is a
Protective, fluid-filled sac that surrounds the embryo
The endoderm gives rise to
Epithelial tissues only
The ectoderm gives rise to
Nervous tissue ans some epithelial cells
The ductus venosus allow most of the fetal blood to
Bypass the liver
The foramen ovale is a hole located between the right and left atria during fetal development that allows most of the vital blood to flow from
The right atrium into the left atrium
The ductus arteriosus connects the pulmonary trunk and the
Aorta during fetal development
Oral contraceptives include low doses of estrogen in progesterone that prevent
The LH surge necessary for ovulation
The rhythm method requires abstinence from sexual intercourse around the time
A female is ovulating
