| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) | Produced by glomeruli; 180 liters per day |
| Glomerular Filtration | Passive process; fluid passes from glomerular capillary to glomerular capsule |
| Tubular Reabsorption | Moves filtrate back into blood; leaves salt-water and waste in lumen |
| Reabsorption Carriers | Actively reabsorb solutes at a higher rate |
| Tubular Secretion | Kidneys rid blood of unwanted substances like creatinine and ammonia |
| Afferent Arteriole Radius Decrease | Pressure and filtration rate decreased |
| Afferent Arteriole Radius Increase | Pressure and filtration rate increased |
| Efferent Arteriole Radius Decrease | Pressure and filtration rate increased |
| Efferent Arteriole Radius Increase | Pressure and filtration rate decreased |
| Increased Blood Pressure | Glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate increase |
| Decreased Blood Pressure | Glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate decrease |
| Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) | Affects urine colume; responsible for fluid retentiion |
| Aldosterone | Produced by adrenal cortex; increases soduim reuptake and potassium secretion |
| Increased ADH | Urine increases; potassium is more concentrated |
| Increased Aldosterone | Urine decreases; sodium and water-reabsorption increases; potassium secretion increases |
