Q

Exhalation becomes active during

17
Q

Internal respiration is

A

The exchange of O2 and CO2 within the CELLS

18
Q

Which hormone promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys

A

Antidiuretic hormone

19
Q

Glucose reabsorption takes place in the

A

Proximal convoluted tubule

20
Q

Which stimulates the reabsorption of sodium by kidneys

A

Aldosterone

21
Q

Renin causes conversion of

A

Angiotensin to angiotensin I

22
Q

The functional unit of the kidney is the

A

Nephron

23
Q

What is kidneys function?

A

Filter blood, excrete waste products and balance solutes and volume

24
Q

Glomerular filtration rate is…

A

Primarily determines by blood pressure

25
Q

What is the purpose of podocytes

A

Created a barrier through which blood is filtered in the glomerulus

26
Q

A glomerulus is

A

A knot of capillaries shrub the renal corpuscle

27
Q

The kidneys provide renin when?

A

Blood pressure decreases this leads to an increase in blood pressure and more filtration

28
Q

Antidiuretic hormone

A

Reduces urine volume (holds onto fluid produce less volume)

29
Q

When glucose levels are above the renal threshold, the patient has

A

Glucose in their urine

30
Q

Glucose reabsorption is only in

A

PCT

31
Q

What to the ureters do

A

Transport urine

32
Q

How does the respiratory system compensate for low pH due to a metabolic issue

A

Fast deep breathes (hyperventilation)

33
Q

Breathing in a bag helps with

A

Respiratory alkalosis (low CO2, low H+, increases pH)

34
Q

Which organs contains the level of bicarbonate

A

Kidneys

35
Q

The carbonic acid bicarbonate buffer system cannot compensate for

A

Changing pH levels when the lungs are not working properly

36
Q

What does renin do?

A

When blood pressure is low, can’t push a lot of filtrate out and can’t get rid of a lot of waste producers, so renin is released into the bloodstream.

37
Q

Renin converts what to what

A

Renin converts angiotensin made in the liver angiotensin I
