Q

Internal respiration is

A

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

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
What is the purpose of podocytes
Created a barrier through which blood is filtered in the glomerulus
26
A glomerulus is
A knot of capillaries shrub the renal corpuscle
27
The kidneys provide renin when?
Blood pressure decreases this leads to an increase in blood pressure and more filtration
28
Antidiuretic hormone
Reduces urine volume (holds onto fluid produce less volume)
29
When glucose levels are above the renal threshold, the patient has
Glucose in their urine
30
Glucose reabsorption is only in
PCT
31
What to the ureters do
Transport urine
32
How does the respiratory system compensate for low pH due to a metabolic issue
Fast deep breathes (hyperventilation)
33
Breathing in a bag helps with
Respiratory alkalosis (low CO2, low H+, increases pH)
34
Which organs contains the level of bicarbonate
Kidneys
35
The carbonic acid bicarbonate buffer system cannot compensate for
Changing pH levels when the lungs are not working properly
36
What does renin do?
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
Renin converts what to what
Renin converts angiotensin made in the liver angiotensin I
