Collecting Tubules Structure in nephron which collects urine from distal convoluted tubule
Cortex Outer part of the kidney
Distal Convoluted Tubule Tubular process that ascends to the cortex from the loop of Henle
Excretion Removing nitrogenous wastes, certain salts and excess water from blood
Filtrate Plasmalike fluid filtered from the blood in the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule
Filtration Movement of water and particles across a semipermeable membrane by a mechanical force such as blood pressure
Glomerulus Part of the nephron, tuft of capillaries situated within Bowman's capsule
Hilum Indentation along the medial border of the kidney, contains blood vessels
Kidneys Organs of the urinary system that functions to rid the body of the nitrogenous wastes
Loop of Henle Proximal convulted tubule descends into the medulla forming the loop of Henle
Medulla Inner portion of the kidney
Nephron Unit of structure of kidney, contains glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, proximal distal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal tubule
Proximal Convoluted Tubule Twisted tubular branch off the Bowman's capsule
Renal Calculi Clumping together of calcium phosphate crystals, uric acid, and other substances in the kidneys
Renin Enzyme produced by Kidney

Dysuria Painful urination
Glycosuria Sugar in the urine
Hematuria Blood in the urine
Hemodialysis A procedure for removing waste products in the circulating blood of patients with kidney failure
Hydronephrosis Renal pelvis and calyces become distended due to the accumulation of fluid
Incontinence Loss of self-control, especially of urine, feces
Lithotripsy A procedure used to reduce kidney stones to sand to enable them to pass through the urinary tract
Nocturia Excessive urination during the night
Oliguria Diminished production of urine
Peritoneal Dialysis Filtering of the client's blood through the client's own peritoneal lining
Polyuria Excessive urination
Pyelonephritis Inflammation of the kidneys and the pelvis of the ureter
Renal Calculi kidney stones -Clumping together of calcium phosphate crystals, uric acid, and other substances in the kidneys
