test 4 review Flashcards
?: Found in the glomerulus, these cells have foot-like projections that form a ? barrier, allowing small molecules like water and ? to pass while retaining larger molecules like proteins.
podocytes, filtration, ions
? Cells (Granular Cells): Located in the juxtaglomerular apparatus, these cells produce and release ?, when BP is too ?
Juxtaglomerular, renin, low
? ? Cells: Specialized cells in the distal convoluted tubule that sense sodium chloride levels and regulate ? ? rate.
macula densa, glomerular filtration
? Cells: Line the ? tubules (proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct). They modify the filtrate by ? water and solutes or secreting ? products.
epithelial, renal, reabsorbing, waste
?: Found in the lining of the ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra, these cells can ? and accommodate ? volume. They also act as a barrier to prevent urine from leaking into surrounding ?.
urothelium, stretch, urine, tissues
? ? Cells: Found in the walls of the ureters, bladder, and urethra, these cells facilitate the ? of urine through ? and enable bladder contraction for urine expulsion
smooth muscle, movement, peristalsis
interstitial Cells are Endocrine cells located in between ? tubules. LH stimulates these cells to produce and secrete ? these cells also support ? integrity and signaling within the urinary system.
seminiferous, testosterone, tissue
? Cells: line the blood vessels in the kidneys and play a role in ? and nutrient supply.
endothelial, filtration
? cells: play a crucial role in defending against ? by identifying and eliminating ? through defense cells in the bladder and urethra
immune, infections, bacteria
? muscle is found in the muscularis propria layer of the bladder wall, allowing it to ? and ? urine
smooth, contract, expel
? Cells (Spermatozoa): Male gametes that carry ? material to the ?.
sperm, genetic, egg
Egg Cells (?): Female gametes that carry genetic material for ?.
Features: Large and ?-rich to support early embryonic ?.
oocytes, fertilization, nutrient, development
? cells (Granulosa Cells):
Location: Surround the ? in ovarian follicles.
Function: Support oocyte ? and secrete ?.
follicle, oocyte, development, estrogen
?, 2n, ovarian stem cells, multiply by ? until 5th month of gestation; they’re located in ? follicles
oogonia, mitosis, primordial
? cells are a group of cells in the testes involved in the production of sperm through a process called ?. They are found within the ? tubules
spermatogenic, spermatogenesis, seminiferous
The ? ? is the filtration unit of the nephron, consisting of the ? (capillary cluster) and glomerular capsule, where blood is filtered into a ?-free filtrate. It is associated with the ? (into glomerulus) and ? (going out of the glomerulus) arterioles and mesangial cells, which support and regulate ?.
renal corpuscle, glomerulus, protein, afferent, efferent, filtration
If the diameter of the afferent arteriole increased, what happens?
↑ GFR ↑ glomerular BP ↑ urine output ↓ systemic BP
If the diameter of the afferent arteriole decreases, what happens?
↓ GFR ↓ glomerular BP ↓ urine output ↑ systemic BP
If the diameter of the efferent arteriole increases, the ? ? rate would ?
glomerular filtration, decrease
If the diameter of the efferent decreases (?), the glomerular filtration rate would ?
constricts, increase
name 3 urine waste products:
water, urea, ammonia, creatinine, uric acid, ions
it is a red flag if you’re urinating what 3 things
glucose, proteins, blood
”? controls” refer to mechanisms regulated by the ? itself to maintain a stable glomerular filtration rate (GFR), while “? controls” are mechanisms originating ? the kidney, like the nervous and endocrine systems, primarily aimed at maintaining systemic ?
intrinsic, kidney, extrinsic, outside, BP
? are tiny, finger-like projections on a cell surface primarily used for ? and ? by increasing surface area, while ? are longer, hair-like structures that ? substances across a cell surface through a rhythmic beating motion
microvilli, absorption, filtration, cilia, move
