Urinalysis Flashcards
1
Q
What is the function of the glomerulus?
A
Filters small solutes from blood
2
Q
Proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs, removes, and adjusts?
A
reabsorbs ions, water, and nutrients; removes toxins and adjusts filtrate pH
3
Q
Descending loop of Henle: aquaporins
A
allow water to pass from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid
4
Q
Ascending loop of Henle reabsorbs
A
Na+ and Cl- from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid
5
Q
Distal Tubule- secretively secretes and absorbs
A
different ions to maintain blood pH and electrolyte balance
6
Q
Collecting duct: reabsorbs solutes and water from
A
the filtrate
7
Q
What does ADH and Aldosterone increase?
A
-ADH increases water reabsorption
-Aldosterone increases reabsorptions of Na and Cl and secretion of K
