Bio II urinarySystem

QuestionAnswer
Maintains a body osmolarity different from the environment osmoregulators
Maintains a body osmolarity isotonic from the environment osmoconformers
contains the Bowmans capsule , loop of henle, proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule Renal tubule system
removes toxins and adjusts filtrate pH responsible for reabsorption Proximal convoluted tubule
major artery entering the kidney for blood filtration Renal artery
knot arteries and capillaries filtering small solutes form the blood, first point of filtration Glomerulus
structure that defines the kidney renal medulla
Maintains blood pH and electrolyte balance Distal tubule
Permeable water,pulling out water and ion secreting urea (secretion) Descending loop of henle
Permeable to salt , allows salt to come out of the Ascending loop of henle
Tubaule secretion tubular secretion
Found deep in the renal cortex cortical nephrons
next to the renal medulla juxtamedullary nephrons
Exits the glomerulus Efferent arteries
Enters the glomerulus Afferent arteries
Right above the kidneys contains cortisol Adrenal glands
renin -angiotensin-aldosterone system that helps stabilize blood pressure by producing angiotensin II through a series of steps
Angiotensin-converting enzyme covers angiotensin I to angiotensin II
Stimulate anti-diuretic hormone aldosterone
Decreases glomerular filtration rate increasing water retention anti-diuretic hormone
Receives fluid from many nephrons. Collecting Duct
The tip of the renal pyramid where collecting ducts empty. Renal Papilla
A cup-like structure that collects urine from a single papilla. Minor Calyx
Formed by the convergence of several minor calyces. Major Calyx
The large, funnel-shaped chamber that collects all urine before it leaves the kidney. Renal Pelvis
The muscular tube that transports urine to the bladder. Ureter
blood pressure inside the glomerular capillaries. It pushes water and solutes out of the blood and into the capsule. Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure
pressure exerted by the fluid already present in the capsular space. It pushes back against the filtration membrane. Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
