QuestionAnswer
A common age-related change in kidneys is that they: Become slower at removing nitrogenous wastes and toxins
About what percentage of kidney stones pass on their own? About 60%
Active Na⁺ transport in renal tubules is important because it: Provides the gradient that drives reabsorption of many nutrients and water
Active transport in the renal tubules: Moves substances against gradients and requires ATP
ADH increases: Water reabsorption
Adult kidneys are typically about ___ long 12 cm
After the renal pelvis, urine flows into the: Ureter
Age-related decreases in vitamin D activation can contribute to: Reduced calcium absorption
Aldosterone primarily stimulates: Na⁺ reabsorption and K⁺ secretion
Angiotensin II can stimulate: Thirst, ADH secretion, aldosterone secretion, vasoconstriction
ACE converts angiotensin I to: Angiotensin II
ANP/BNP primarily increase excretion of: Sodium and water
Approximately what percentage of Na⁺ and water are reabsorbed? 97–99%
Arcuate arteries: Branch from interlobar arteries and arch around pyramids
Bladder capacity with age: Decreases
Autoregulation helps keep GFR: Relatively constant
Average adult GFR: 125 mL/min
Beeturia refers to: Pink urine after eating beets
Blood exits glomerulus via: Efferent arteriole
Blood plasma is filtered about: 60 times per day
By age 75, GFR may decrease to: About half
By age 80, kidney mass loss: About one-third
ANP/BNP are released in response to: Increased blood volume/pressure
Changing arteriole diameter: Alters GFR and filtration pressure
Chronic glomerulonephritis: Progressive inflammation and fibrosis
Collecting ducts drain into: Minor calyx
Cortical nephrons: Short loops near surface
Cortical nephrons make up: ~85%
Creatinine clearance is used to: Estimate GFR
ESRD treatment: Dialysis or transplant
Excess uric acid may cause: Gout
Cortex extensions into medulla: Renal columns
Filtered uric acid is: Reabsorbed then secreted
Filtrate flows next into: Proximal tubule
Filtration occurs when NFP is: Positive
Glomerular capillaries are permeable due to: Fenestrae
Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of: Glomeruli
Dialysis is used to: Remove wastes from blood
If Tm is reached: Substance appears in urine
Filtrate per day: ~180 L/day
In AGN, antigen-antibody complexes primarily: Deposit in and block glomeruli
A condition of acidemia is termed: Acidosis
A condition of alkalemia is termed: Alkalosis
A decrease in plasma calcium stimulates: Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
A drop in plasma calcium concentration stimulates: PTH secretion
A high plasma potassium concentration stimulates: Aldosterone secretion
High-protein diet increases acid load due to: Sulfuric and phosphoric acids
Amino acid breakdown produces: Sulfuric and phosphoric acids
Hyponatremia causes: Cells to swell (water enters)
A cause of metabolic acidosis: Kidney disease
A cause of respiratory acidosis: Airway obstruction
Lower pH indicates: More acidic
Drinking excess water causes: Decreased ADH
Kidney disease leads to: Metabolic acidosis
Vomiting leads to: Metabolic alkalosis
Hyperventilation causes: Respiratory alkalosis
Fastest buffering system: Chemical buffers
Increased potassium leads to: Aldosterone release
A strong acid: Fully ionizes and releases more H⁺
A strong base: Releases OH⁻
A weak acid: Ionizes less and releases fewer H⁺
Acid-base balance involves: Hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration
Metabolic imbalance is caused by: Non-respiratory factors
Respiratory imbalance is caused by: CO₂/lung problems
Acidemia means: pH < 7.35
Acids release: Hydrogen ions (H⁺)
ADH acts on: Distal tubule and collecting duct
Excess water intake causes ADH to be: Inhibited
Aldosterone increases: Na⁺ reabsorption and K⁺ secretion
Aldosterone regulates: Sodium and potassium
Alkalemia means: pH > 7.45
30% of 2500 mL: 750 mL
pH 7.28 indicates: Acidemia (acidosis)
pH 7.33 indicates: Acidemia (acidosis)
pH 7.36 indicates: Normal
pH 7.40 indicates: Normal
pH 7.44 indicates: Normal
pH 7.46 indicates: Alkalemia (alkalosis)
pH 7.52 indicates: Alkalemia (alkalosis)
Angiotensin II thirst trigger: Decreased blood
% of water intake from fluids 60%
Test used for prostate screening Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
Genetic variation in meiosis occurs by Crossing over and independent assortment
Function of dartos muscle Adjusts testicular temperature
Failure of testes to descend is called Cryptorchidism
Female secondary sex characteristic Increased fat in breasts, hips, thighs
Oocyte number declines due to Apoptosis
Male secondary sex characteristic Thickening of skin

Sertoli cell function Support and nourish sperm
Primordial follicle contains Follicular cells
Time for follicle maturation About 300 days
Secondary follicle formation Granulosa cells proliferate, zona pellucida forms
Function of female reproductive organs Provide environment for offspring
Prostatic secretion function Enhance sperm motility
Oocytes released in lifetime 300–400

Structure in spermatic cord Blood vessels
Fertilization must occur within Hours
Primordial follicles after birth No new ones produced
After meiosis I 23 chromosomes, each with two chromatids
Ova carry which chromosome X chromosome
XY embryo develops as Male
Androgens in females cause Pubic and axillary hair
Developing sperm move toward Lumen of seminiferous tubule
Fertilization restores Diploid zygote (46 chromosomes)

Leydig cells are Interstitial cells
Haploid cells contain One set of chromosomes
Diploid cells contain Two sets of chromosomes
Channels to epididymis Rete testis
Function of cilia in uterine tube Move oocyte toward uterus
Completion of meiosis II yields Ovum + polar body (after fertilization)
