27
Q

Fluids and solutes (smaller than 7 mm) are forced out of the capillaries and into capsule.

A

Filtration

38
Q

Two slender tubes that move urine from kidneys to the bladder

39

Paired kidneys, paired ureters, bladder, and urethra

44
Q

When empty the bladder

45
Q

The bladder expands as it fills and rises

A

Superiorly

46

50
Q

How long is the male urethra?

51
Q

The male urethra moves what?

A

Both urine and sperm

52
Q

Why do females have more bacterial infections?

A

Because of the short size of the urethra and bacteria can enter the bladder more easily

53
Q

The act of emptying the bladder

A

Micturition

54
Q

After 200 mL has collected in the bladder what happens?

60
Q

How can uremia be detected?

A

By a blood test

61
Q

Inflammation of the bladder usually due to an infection

62
Q

Inflammation of the nephron due to infection in the kidney. Can be due to stagnate urine or obstruction.

63
Q

If glomeruli are damaged what can happen?

A

Larger substances can leak into urine such as RBC’s and proteins

Q

When a patient’s blood is passed through a selectively permeable membrane tubing. Also called renal or kidney dialysis.

A

Hemodialysis

65
