Urinary 2 Flashcards
How does the juxtaglomelular apparatus function in blood pressure regulation?
Cells secrete a hormone called renin that initiates the construction of blood vessels and therefore raises blood pressure
What are the most important homeostatic organs in the body?
Kidneys
Process where someone uses an artificial kidney
Hemodialysis
A different dialysis technique for kidney failure that introduces dialysis fluid directly into the peritoneal cavity
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
Nephrons form urine through a series of processes:
Filtration, reabsorption, and secretion
How many liters of glomereular filtrate is there in one day
180 liters
Membranes glomerular filtrate must pass through before going back to the blood
Luminal membrane and the plasma membrane of cell that faces interstitial fluid
Steps of reabsorption.
Luminal membrane, plasma membrane of interstitial fluid, and then the endothelial lining of capillaries
A level in which the kidney tubular cells are no longer able to reabsorp a certain substance.
Renal threshold
Condition of glucose in the Urine
Glycosuria
For the most part, sodium ions are actively transported back into the blood from all segments of the kidney tubule except
The collecting duct
Process that forms urine by __________ of water and dissolved substances out of the blood in the glomeruli into the bowmans capsule
Filtration
Process of Henie formation that _______ of water and dissolved substances out of kidney tubules back into blood
Reabsorption
Process of ironed formation __________ of hydrogen ions, potassium ions, and certain drugs
Secretion
Water retaining hormone
Antidiuretic hormone
