A person taking diuretics forms a more concentrated urine T
ADH decreases permeability of collecting ducts F
K+ is most abundant intercellular ion F
ADH is antagonistic to ANP F
The afferent arteriole of the Glom. is smaller than the efferent, which creates filtration pressure F
Albumin and other plasma proteins help maintain blood osmolarity T
Juxta. nephrons are responsible for creating more concentrated urine, while Cortical nephrons make more dilute urine T
H20 follows NA+ T
ADH reg. sodium levels in the blood and urine F
The PCT contains the Jux. App. F
Aquaporins are inserted the cells of collecting ducts, when ADH is secreted T
Cells of PCT have ADH receptors F
Aldosterone indirectly effects chlorine levels T
Renin is produced by the LV F
Angiotensin is secreted by KD F
There is more K+ outside of cells and more negative proteins inside of cells F
H+ levels are controlled by KD and LU T
Podocytes are part of the nephron T
Buffers balance extremes in pH by absorbing OH- or releasing HCO3 F
CO2 + H20 --> H+ & HCO3 T
H+ and HCO3 --> H2CO3 --> CO2 + H20 T

The Adrenal glands make ________ and it is produced in response to ________, it also increases blood glucose levels Cortisol, Stress
Produced by Adrenal cortex, _________ regulates reabsorption of _______ and release of ____________ Aldosterone, rebsorption of Sodium, Excretion of Potassium *** overall affect of increasing blood volume / BP
Produced by Kidneys, ______ promotes _________ reabsorption, increasing bone ________ Calcitrol, Calcium, Calcium
This hormone increases blood calcium PTH
The hormone determines how much H20 should be released or reabsorped ADH
This hormone cz uterine contractions Oxytocin (OT)
Two hormones that are stored and released by Post. Pit are: OT and ADH
Fxns of KD Reg. blood pH, Reg. BP, Maintain calcium homeostasis, help with RBC synth, Maintain glucose levels, maintain blood composition, maintain blood volume
5 Main portions of nephron are: Glomerular Capsule (GC), PCT, LOH, DCT, CD

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.
