Q

ureters

A

muscular tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder

27
Q

urinary bladder

A

collects and stores urine until it is released

28

A

hilus

30
Q

retroperitoneal

A

kidneys are located outside the peritoneum that lines the abdominal cavity

31
Q

other kidney functions

A

clears drugs from the body, balances that conservation or elimination of body fluids , releases hormones renin and angiotensin, promotes calcium absorption, controls the productions of red blood cells

32
Q

glomerulus

A

a cluster of blood vessels surrounded by a structure

33
Q

three steps of the urine production

A

glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion

34

tubular reabsorption

A

taking back into the body substances that were filtered out by the glomerulus but are still needed by the body
