Urinary System Quiz Flashcards
Given these parts of a nephron:
- renal corpuscle
- collecting duct
- loop of Henle
- distal tubule
- proximal tubule
Arrange the parts in order as fluid flows from the filtration membrane through the nephron.
15342
Renin is released from the kidney in all of the following, except
increased blood volume
What is the basic functional and structural unit of the kidney?
nephron
Which process is most affected by blood pressure
glomerular filtration
All of following are functions of the kidney,
Regulation of acid-base balance
Production of EPO
Regulation of blood pressure
Production of calcitriol
All of these are normal components of urine, Except
glucose
Collectively, the capillary epithelium, basement membrane, and podocytes form the
filtration membrane
Juxtaglomerular cells secrete
renin
The movement of substances from the filtrate back into the blood of the peritubular capillaries is called
Tubular reabsorption
The outermost covering of the kidney is the
cortex
Tubular reabsorption occurs from the nephron tubules into the _____.
peritubular capillaries
What is the average glomerular filtration rate?
180 liters per day
Which of the following are not found in the glomerular filtrate?
proteins
Which of these conditions increases the amount of urine produced?

minor calyx
All of the following is true about functions of the kidneys,
maintaining acid-base balance
long-term blood pressure regulation
regulation of erythropoiesis
removing nitrogen - containing waste products
All of the following are normal findings in GLOMERULAR FILTRATE, except
proteins
All of the following are normal finding in urine
urea
water
sodium
Which of the following choices lists structures in the order in which urine flows through them?
minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis
