Ureter to ______ _____ and then to the _______ out of the body | urinary bladder, urethra |
The kidneys and the pancreas sit in the _______ region of the body | retro peritoneal |
Kidneys are ____ shaped. | bean |
The ____ kidney sits higher than the ____ kidney because of the liver | left, right |
The indented area where the ureters, renal arteries and veins enter and exit kidney | hilum |
Opening of the ureter where it leads into the kidney- where urine collects | Renal Pelvis |
Renal Pyramids are here, and collects urine | Renal Medulla |
Outer portion of the kidney | Renal Cortex |
The kidneys perform _____filtration | chemical |
The kidneys regulate ______ volume in the body | fluid |
The kidneys help regulate _______ | electrolytes and ph |
Kidneys help regulate the bodys _____ (vs) | blood pressure |
The kidneys regulate _______ | Hematopoiesis |
Renal blood vessels include ______, ________ and Venous _______. | arteries, arterioles and return |
afferent arteriole takes blood to/from the glomerulus. | TO |
What is part of the renal corpusule and the site of filtration. | Glomerulus |
Efferent arterioles take blood To/ From the glomerulus | away |
The efferent arterioles open up into a capillary bed that surrounds the tubules of a _______? | nephron |
1) FILTRATION, (2) TUBULAR _________, (3) ___________ SECRETION | REABSORPTION, TUBULAR |
The basic functional unit of the kidney | Nephron |
Nephron structure Renal ______ & Renal _______ | Corpusule/ Tubule |
Glomerulus, located in the Renal _______, are high pressure __________, full of tiny holes called______ | Corpusule/ capillaries/ Fenestrae |
A thin walled sac that surrounds the glomerulus, and catches filtrate. | Glomerual Capsule |
The renal filtrate flows into the renal _______ | tubule |
Where is the filtrate's content and deliver it out to the nephron | Renal Tubule |
Urine is formed by 3 major actions_______ filtration, Tubular _______ and Tubular______. | glomerual, reabsorption, secretion |
During Tubular reabsorption, apx _____ liters of filtrate are generated each day, but only ____ liter of urine is produced | 180/1 |
Tubular secretion rids the body of excess _____, drugs and _____ | electrolytes, histamines |
Urine is composed of | 95% H2O, urea, electrolytes and uric acid |
The concentration of urine is regulated by what hormone? | ADH |
The _____ extend directly from the hilum of the kidney and they move urine from the kidney to the bladder | ureters |
The ____ is a muscular sac for temp storage of urine | bladder |

Primary Female sex organ | Ovaries |
Spermatogenesis | sperm cell development |
Oogenesis | egg cell development |
Sertoli cells are involved with the manufacture of | sperm |
Interstitial cells are involved with the manufacture of | testosterone |
Function of the testes | produce sperm cells and male sex hormones |
Function of the ovaries | to produce egg cells and female sex hormones |
What part of the sperm cell contains the 23 chromosomes | head |
