| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Purpose of the Urinary System: | To regulate the composition of the extracellular fluids of the body. Removing harmful substances in the form of urine. while retaining beneficial products. |
| Harmful substances removed by kidneys & urine; | Nitrogenous wastes and excess electrolytes |
| Electrolyte concentration must remain fairly constant for proper functioning of: | Nerves, Heart & Muscles |
| Kidney functions: | Regulating composition of extra cellular fluids. Secretes the hormone erythropoietin. |
| Erythropoietin: | A hormone that acts on bone marrow to stimulate production of red blood cells when blood oxygen levels are low. |
| What are the 4 Macroscopic structures that make up the urinary system? | Two kidneys, Two ureters, Bladder, Urethra |
| 2 distinct areas of the kidney that are visible? | Renal Cortex(Outer Section), Renal Medulla(Middle area) they contain portions of the microscopic filtering units of the kidney, called Nephrons. |
| Renal Artery does what? | Carries blood that contains waste products to the nephrons for filtering. |
| Small folds in the bladder are called? and what do they do? | Rugae ; they expand as the bladder fills. |
| Approx 1million nephrons in the body: | Microscopic structures are responsible for maintaining homeostasis by continually adjusting & regulating the contents of blood plasma. |
| Substances removed by Nephrons: | They are called nitrogenous wastes, they are the end products of protein metabolism, excess electrolytes, and many other products that exceed the amount tolerated by the body. |
| Nephron perfoms 3 physiological functions as it produces urine, they are? | Filtration, Reabsorption, & Secretion |
