| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Fluids located within cells | Intracellular fluids |
| Fluids located outside the cells | Extracellular fluids |
| Fluids located between cells in tissues | Interstitial fluid |
| Consisted of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra | Urinary system |
| Systems that eliminate waste | Urinary, digestive, respiratory and integumentary |
| Space posterior to the peritoneum | Retroperitoneal space |
| Supplie sblood to the kidney | Renal artery |
| Drains blood from the kidney | Renal vein |
| The funnel shaped collecting area that forms the upper end of the ureter | Renal pelvis |
| Functional unit of the kidney | nephron |
| coil of capillaries in the glomerular capsule | Glomerulus |
| Process that drives materials out of the glomerulus and into the glomerular capsule | Filtration |
| Process that returns materials from the nephron back to the circulation | Tubular reabsorption |
| Moved by tubular secretion to balance pH | Hydrogen ions |
| Controls water re-absorption from the collecting duct of the nephron | Antidiuretic hormone |
| Produce renin when the blood pressure drops. Signaled by low sodium in the filtrate leaving the nephron. | Juxtaglomerular apparatus |
| Carries urine from the kidney to the bladder | Ureter |
| Carries urine from the bladder to the outside | Urethra |
| Water is lost from the body thru the kidneys, the skin, the lungs and the _______________ tract. | Intestinal tract |
| The hormone in the adrenal cortex that promotes sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. | Aldosterone |
| Pituitary hormone that increases water re-absorption in the kidney | Antidiuretic hormone |
| Maintains the buffer systems respiration and kidney function | Acid base balance of body fluids |
| __________ and _______________ contain the most sodium ions | Plasma and interstitial fluid |
| Sodium and chloride are highest in extracellular fluids; _____________ and __________ are highest in intracellular fluids | Potassium and Phosphate |
| The kidney's first capillary bed to receive blood | glomerulus |
| Generate bicarbonate ions (buffers) | Kidneys |
