Question
Answer
show kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra  
🗑
show regulates water balance, electrolyte balance, acid-base balance, rids body of waste of metabolism, foreign chemicals, drugs, and food additives, and serves a s a minor endocrince organ and produces renin and erythropoietin  
🗑
show between the levels of the 12th thoracic and the 3rd lumbar vertabrae  
🗑
show concave medial surface of kidney  
🗑
show outer portion of kidney which contains capillary tufts and convoluted tubules  
🗑
show inner portion of kidney and contains renal pyramids and renal columns  
🗑
show sudden loss of kidney function, usually associated with shcok or intense renal vasoconstriction, that lasts from a few days to many weeks  
🗑
show inflammation of the urinary bladder  
🗑
show blood in the urine  
🗑
hemodialysis   show
🗑
show night urination  
🗑
show urinary volumes less than 500ml/day  
🗑
show excessive urine output  
🗑
show retention of urinary constituents in the blood, owing to kidney dysfunction  
🗑
show functional unit of the kidney, consisting of the glomerulus, glomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule), the proximal convoluted tubule, the nephron loop (loop of Henle), the distal convoluted tubule, and the collecting duct  
🗑
show over 1 million nephrons per kidney  
🗑
glomerulus   show
🗑
permeability of glomerulus   show
🗑
show double-walled cuplike structure composed of squamous epithelium. Outer layer is continuous w/ the proximal tubule. Inner layer is composed of podocytes that are closely associated with the glomerular capillaries  
🗑
proximal convoluted tubule   show
🗑
nephron loop   show
🗑
show begins at the macula densa, a mass of specialized epithelial cells of the tubule wass, located next to the afferent arteriole. Shorter and less microvilli than the proximal confoluted tubule. last part of nephron and empties into the collecting duct  
🗑
show glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion  
🗑
show portion of the blood plasma that enters the capsule. amounts to about 180L/day=45 gallons/day  
🗑
show 1)high hydrostatic pressure of the blood (45 to 60 mmHg) in the glomerulus 2)large numbers of pores, which are larger than most pores in blood capillaries  
🗑
show in filtrate: water, electrolytes, glucose, amino acids, urea, hormones, vitamins; not in: plasma proteins, RBC's, WBC's and platelets because they're too big  
🗑
presence of RBC's or protein in the urine indicates what?   show
🗑
show about 120 ml/minute, 7.5 L/hour, 180 L/day  
🗑
regulation of GFR   show
🗑
show measure excretion and plasma concentration of a substance that is freely filtered into Bowman's capsule and is not secreted or reabsorbed by tubules. measure amount of substance in urine per unit time  
🗑
inulin   show
🗑
GFR equation   show
🗑
tubular reabsorption   show
🗑
% of filtrate reabsorbed from the renal tubules   show
🗑
% of water reabsorbed by tubular reabsorption   show
🗑
show 99.5%  
🗑
% of glucose reabsorbed by tubular reabsorption   show
🗑
% of urea reabsorbed by tubular reabsorption   show
🗑
show 0%  
🗑
tubular reabsorption occurs throughout the "blank", but primarily in the "blank" portion   show
🗑
trans-epithelial transport   show
🗑
% of reabsorbed material that is reabsorbed through the proximal convoluted tubule   show
🗑
% of reabsorbed material that is reabsorbed through the nephron loop   show
🗑
show 9%  
🗑
show 4%  
🗑
parts of reabsorption physiology that are under ADH control   show
🗑
show diffusion (H2O and urea) and active transport (glucose)  
🗑
show regulates the reabsorption of Na+ in the distal and collecting duct (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system)  
🗑
show proximal tubule  
🗑
normal glucose concentration in blood   show
🗑
show the concentration of transported molecules needed to saturate the carriers and thus achieve maximal transport rate (especially used with glucose levels)  
🗑
Tm of glucose   show
🗑
show the secretion or movement of substances from the peritubular capillaires into the lumen of the tubule  
🗑
show hydrogen ions (H+), potassium ions (K+), and some organic anions (penicillin)  
🗑
where are H+ ions secreted?   show
🗑
show reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and actively secreted in the distal tubule and collecting duct  
🗑
show stimulate K+ secretion and Na+ reabsorption  
🗑
show secretion of H+ ions into the tubules and the reabsorption of bicarbonate  
🗑
show yes  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
