Q

functional unit of the kidney
- each kidney has over one million nephrons
- it has two main types:
▪ Juxtamedullary nephrons (15%) – have loops of Henle that
extend deep into the medulla
▪ Cortical nephrons (85%) – have loops of Henle that do not
extend deep into the medulla

Q

Urine formation

A

Filtration (glomerulus)
Reabsorption ( PCT)
Secretions (DCT & CD)

20
Q

T or F

only 1% of 180 L of filtrate became urine

A

T

21
Q

forces fluid from the glomerular capillary across the Filter Membrane into
the Bowman’s Capsule
- influenced by the blood pressure

A

Filtration Membrane

22
Q

blood pressure in the glomerular capillary

A

Glomerular Capillary Pressure

23
Q

pressure of filtrate already inside the Bowman’s Capsule

A

Capsular Pressure

24
Q

– pressure of filtrate within the glomerular capillary

A

Colloid Osmotic Pressure

25
Q

T or F

99% of filtrate is reabsorbed and reenters circulation

A

T

26
Q

T or f

Descending Loop of Henle concentrates H20

A

False

it concentrate the SOLUTES

27
Q

T or F

reabsorption of water and solutes from distal tubule and collecting duct is
controlled by hormones

A

T

28
Q

what is the mechanism for water reabsorption?

A

osmosis

29
Q

renal medulla cotains very concentrated interstitial fluid that has large

A

Na+, Cl-, Urea

30
Q

The wall of the thin segment of the descending limb is highly permeable
to water.

T or F

A

True

31
Q

The thin segment of the ascending limb is not permeable to water, but
it is permeable to solutes.
➢ Consequently, solutes diffuse out of the nephron.

t or F

A

True

32
Q

T or F

active transport - K+ & Ca
cotransport- Na+
osmosis - H2O

A

False

active transport - Na+
cotransport- K+ & Ca+
osmosis - H2O

33
Q

what are eing secreted in tubular secretions?

A

by-products of metabolism that become toxic in
high concentrations and drugs or other molecules not normally produced
by the body

34
Q

small tubes that carry urine from renal pelvis of kidney to bladder

A

Ureters

35
Q

hollow muscular container
located in pelvic cavity
can hold up to 1000ml of urine

A

Urinary Bladder

36
Q

activated by stretch of the urinary bladder wall
- action potentials are conducted from bladder to spinal cord through pelvic
nerves

A

Micturition Reflex

37
Q

AKA Vassopresin

A

ADH

38
Q

absorption of water = less urine volume (less ihi)

A

ADH

39
Q

absorption of Na+ and Water and excretion of K+
