Question
Answer
What is the function of the urinary stsyem?   Clean and filter of blood (maintaining blood plasma)  
🗑
What organ filiters blood plasma and forms urine?   Kidney  
🗑
The nephrons are located primarily in what portion of the kidney?   Renal Cortex  
🗑
The renal pelvis is continuous with and empties into a/an   ureter  
🗑
The structural and functional unit of the kidney is the   Nephron  
🗑
What two factors are responsible for the process of filtration?   1. Pereability 2. 4x higher BP  
🗑
T or F? When the filtration rate declines the sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotension mechanism are activated; renin is secreted and angiotension II is released which will raise blood pressure by constricting both systemic arterioles and the eff   True  
🗑
The reabsorption of water under the influence of ADH occurs where?   The collection duct  
🗑
When sodium ions are actively reabsorbed, it triggers the passive reabsorbtion of __________ ions and water   Potassium  
🗑
Define the process of filtration   The forcing of water and small solutes from the blood in a glomerlus into a glomerulus capsule  
🗑
Define the process of tubular reabsorption   Reabsorption removes the "USEFUL" substances from the filtrate and retures them to the blood  
🗑
define the process of tubular secretion   Secretion removes "WASTE" and excess substances from the blood and sends them back into the filtrate  
🗑
What substance may be present in the blood and filtrate but should NOT normally be present in the urine?   Glucose  
🗑
T or F? The glomerular filtration rate varies directly with the glomerular blood pressure which is related to the systemic blood pressure   True  
🗑
What is the most abundant nitrogenous waste product in urine? What other waste products?   Urea....Uric acid and creatine  
🗑
The major function of the urine formations is   Filttration (get rid of waste)  
🗑
Antidiuretic hormone promotes the reabsorption of what 2 ions?   Na and K  
🗑
What is the most abundant positively charged ion in the body fluids?   Na  
🗑
The concentration of calcium ions in body fluids is regulated by what 2 hormones?   Parathyroid and Calcitonin  
🗑
Urea is formed as a waste product of ___________ metabolism   Cellular respitration  
🗑
What substance in body fluidsnworks to prevent significant change in pH?   Buffer  
🗑
The normal pH range of body fluids is...   7.35 to 7.45  
🗑
T or F? Th consentration of solutes in urine caries with both diet and metabolism   False  
🗑
The color of normal urine is due to the presents of what substance produces by the breakdown of bile pigments??   Urochrome  
🗑
What is cystitis???   Inflammation of urinary bladder due to bacterial infection  
🗑
Cystitis and urethritis occur more frequently in males or females?   females  
🗑
Define glomeruloneprhritis   Inflammation involving the glumerule  
🗑
Define Pyelonephritis   Inflammation of renal pelvis and nephrons  
🗑
The presence of blood cells or plasma proteins in urine can be indicative of what disorder?   Glumerulonephritis  
🗑
The pain associated with a kidney stone normally results from its presents in the...   Renal pelvis  
🗑
The disorder that is characterized by the inability of the kidneys to regulate the composition and volume of body fluids is   Renal Failure  
🗑
A renal corpuscle consists of a ____________ enclosed in a __________________________   Glomerulus; Glomerular capsule (bowmans capsule)  
🗑
The correct sequence of parts of a renal tuble is....   Proximal convoluted tuble-65% of filtration is reabsorbed here. All nutrients positively charged. Nephron loop (loop of henle) Water is positively absorbed. Distal convoluted tuble-Reabsorption uner hormonal control  
🗑
The arteriole associated with the glomerulus that has the greater diameter is the afferent arteriole or the efferent arteriole? What is the purpose of this difference or between the 2 arterioles?   AFFERENT- enters or lets in. Efferant- exits or lets out  
🗑
Most of the tubular reabsorption occurs in the   Proximal tubule  
🗑
The volume of water that is lost in a 24 hour period via urine is constant from day to day or does it vary with water loss by all other means?   Th volume or water lost in urine varies with both the volume of water lost by other means and the volume of water intake  
🗑
Urea is formed by what organ?   Liver  
🗑
The "force" that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder is   Peristasis  
🗑
The uretha; sphincter under VOLUNTARY control is the...   External Sphincter  
🗑
Glomerular filtrate is most similar in compsition to   blood  
🗑
What substance moves from the renal tubule into the bloodstream/, this process is known as...   Tubular Reabsorption  
🗑
If blood pressure increases beyond normal range what happends to the glomerular filtration rate?   Increases  
🗑
What vessels carry blood into the glomerulus?   Afferent arterioles  
🗑
A special group of cells near the gloerulus that secrete __________ in the responce to ____________ blood flow to the kidneys is the ________________   Renin; Decrease: Juxtagiomerular  
🗑
What process keeps the glomerular filtration rate constant in spite of fluctuation in systemic blood pressure?   Renal autoregulation  
🗑
What is the chemical contol system that works as a defence mechanism to raise sysemic blood pressure by constricting arterioles throughout the body flowing a decreased filtration rate to save kidney function?   Renin-angiotention mechanism  
🗑
Define Polyuria, Oliguria, Anuria, Diuresis   Polyuria-passing an excessive amount of urine. Oliguria-small amount of urine. Anuria- No urine. Diuresis-increase amounts of urine  
🗑
What is the specific difference beween Polyuria and Diuresis?    
🗑
T or f? Blood plasma concentration is changed by the work of the kidneys?   True  
🗑
The kidneys assist in the blood's ability to transport oxygen due to the secretion of what hormone?   Exythropoietin  
🗑
The primary function of the urinary system is to   Form and ecreta urine maintaining electrolyte, water and acid balance in the body  
🗑
What structure carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder?   Ureters  
🗑
A ________ consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule   Nephron  
🗑
The ___________ is a capillary tuft that lies between and afferent arteriol and an efferent arteriole   Glomerulus  
🗑
Urine formation begins when _________________ moves some of the water and solutes in the blood from the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule   Glomerular filtration  
🗑
