A&P2 Test 5 #4 of Urniary System-Nephrons

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Trigone is a point of referance:   Created by 2 uretheral openings & urethra  
🗑
Nephrons have:(3)   Renal Tubules, Glomerulus & Glomerular Capsule  
🗑
RENAL TUBULES -(4) are:   PROXIMAL CONVALUTED, LOOP OF HENLE, DISTAL CONVOLUTED & COLLECTING TUBULES  
🗑
glomerulus is a knot of:   capillaries  
🗑
GLOMERULAR CAPSULE :   surrounds the capilary knot  
🗑
RENAL CAPSULE aka CORPUSCLE refers to:   the glomerular capsule, plus its capillary tuft  
🗑
RENAL PYRAMIDS are structures   located in the medullary layer  
🗑
Renal Pyramids are formed from   tubules & blood vessels assoc w/nephrons  
🗑
collecting tubules go thru pyramids:   into MINOR CALYCES  
🗑
MINOR CALYCES empty into   MAJOR CALYCES, which in turn empty into the renal pelvis  
🗑
Each nephron is assoc with a:   GLOMERULAR CAPILLARY BED  
🗑
The glomerular capillary bed produces   filterate and a PERITUBULAR BED  
🗑
The PERITUBULAR BED   reclaims most of the filterate  
🗑
Afferent arterioles from the:   interlobular arteries feed into the nephrons glomerular tuft.  
🗑
Two types of nephrons are;   cortical and juxtamedullary  
🗑
Which type nephron is most #"s?   cortical  
🗑
CORTICAL NEPHRON has its   glomerulus located in the upper cortical zone  
🗑
The cortical nephron rarely   penetrates the medulla  
🗑
PERITUBULAR CAPILLARIES are the:   capillaries of the cortical nephron  
🗑
JUXTAMEDULLARY NEPHRON has its   glomerulus loc close to the cortico-medullary junction  
🗑
Peritubular capillaries of JG nephrons:   include an additional capillary network called the VASA RECTA  
🗑
A nephron starts as a double:   walled cup called the glomerular capsule  
🗑
Glomerular capsule is in the   cortex  
🗑
Name outer wall of nephron capsule:   called the PARIETAL LAYER  
🗑
The perietal layer consists of:   simple squamous epithelium  
🗑
CAPSULAR SPACE seperates   parietal layer from inner layer  
🗑
Inner layer of nephron capsule is:   VISCERAL LAYER  
🗑
VISCERAL LAYER consists:   of epithelial cells called PODOCYTES  
🗑
Inner layer of nephron surrounds a   capillary network called the glomerulus  
🗑
ENDOTHELIAL-CAPSULAR MEMBRANE formed:   from visceral layer of capsule & endothelium of the glomerulus  
🗑
The endothelial-capsular membrane:   filters water and solutes in the blood  
🗑
Apx. 1200 ml of blood:   pass thru kidneys each minute  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
