kidneys are located here between the peritoneum and the wall of the abdomen retroperitoneal
the functional unit of the kidney nephron
blood enters the kidney through the afferent arteriole
blood is first filtered inside the bowman's capsule
cells and proteins do not get through the glomerulus so they exit through the efferent arteriole
the efferent arteriole connects to these capillaries which surround the tubules peritubular
this part of the kidney tubule reabsorbs about 85% of substances needed by the body proximal convoluted tubule
This part of the kidney tubule secretes urea, creatinine, ammonia, bilirubin, uric acid and urobilinogen distal convoluted tubule
this mechanism allows kidneys to concentrate urine countercurrent multiplier mechanism
this ion controls the pH in the body hydrogen
substances moving from the capillaries into the fluid in the tubules is called secretion
What percentage of urine is water? 95
inflammation of the kidneys glomerulonephritis
active form of Vitamin D calciferol
another name for kidney stones renal calculi
surrounds the glomerulus bowman's capsule
collects urine form the ducts of the pyramids minor calyx

hormone produced by the kidney to stimulate red blood cell production erythropoietin

what percentage of room air is nitrogen? 78
what percentage of room air is carbon dioxide? .04
area of the kidney where blood vessels, nerves and lymph vessels enter and exit is called the hilum

What part of the brain tells the adrenal glnds to release aldosterone? hypothallamus
what two organs work together to maintain acid-base balance in the body? lungs and kidneys
The liver, the skin and the kidneys all participate in the synthesis of vitamin D
In the kidney, the cortex and the renal columns make up the parenchyma
Urine in the urethra is transported by what process? peristalsis
Mass of fatty tissue protecting the kidneys adipose capsule
union of the interlobar veins; they leave the kidney at the hilum left renal vein
Division of the efferent arterioles into a network of capillaries peritubular capillaries
