Question
Answer
Who recognized Kidneys? Did he say they were regulatory or excretory?   Starling 1900,Said they were regulatory  
🗑
What is the excretory function of the kidneys?   Regulate composition and volume of body fluids.  
🗑
What are 7 functions of the kidneys?   Regulation of body fluid osmolality and volume, electrolyte balance, acid-base balanceExcretion of metabolic products and foreign substancesProduction and secretion of hormonesRole in calcium homeostatsisAdaptation to nephron loss  
🗑
T/F Kidneys control both the osmolality and volume of body fluids   true  
🗑
why control body fluid osmolality?   maintain cell volumeCarry on normal cardiovascular function  
🗑
How do the kidneys control osmolality?   by regulating the excretion of water and NaCl  
🗑
T/F The CV system and CNS integrate the kidney's function   True  
🗑
What are some inorganic ions that the kidneys regulate? Organic?   INorganic-Na,K, Cl, HCO3, H, Ca, P/Organic-excretion of citrate or succinate  
🗑
What is a process of separating wastes from body fluids and eliminating them?   Excretion  
🗑
What must happen with the excretion of electrolytes to maintain balance?   excretion must be balanced w/ daily intake  
🗑
what will happen if intake exceeds excretion?   amount of a given electrolyte increases  
🗑
what is the sole or primary route for excretion?   kidneys  
🗑
How is body fluid pH maintained w/in very narrow limits?   by buffers w/in the body and coordinated action of the lungs and kidneys  
🗑
what are the metabolic end products that the body no longer needs called? What excretes them?   Metabolic wastes; kidneys  
🗑
What are some examples of metabolic wastes?   AA-Urea(50% of N products)Nuclic acid-uric acid: phosph-creatine to creatine, metabolites of hormones, hemoglobin end products  
🗑
what rate are the metabolic wastes excreted?   rate that matches their production b/c concentrations are maintained at a constant level.  
🗑
What are 3 examples of foreign substances eliminated by the kidneys?   Chemicals in food, herbicides and insecticides, and drugs  
🗑
What happens with metabolic wastes if kidney function is compromised?   metabolic wastes and foreign substances accumulate  
🗑
Do kidney's produce hormones? are they an endocrine organ?   Yes and yes  
🗑
What hormones does the kidney produce and secrete?   Renin, Calcitrol(VitaminD), Erythropoeitin  
🗑
What is renin?   not really a hormone but a protelytic enzyme used to produce an enzymeIt is a precursor  
🗑
What does renin do?   It converts to Angiotensin and is part of the Aldosterone systemIt Regulates BP via Na/K balance  
🗑
What is the function of Calcitrol?   normal reabsoption: Ca by GI tract decreases for bone deposition  
🗑
What happens to calcitrol in renal disease?   Production is impaired and levels are reduced. Ca is reabosbed by intestine and then there are abnormalities in bone formation  
🗑
What is ESRD and when is it seen?   End Stage Renal Disease and seen in people w/ a GSR<10% or normal  
🗑
What must be done w/ people who have ESRD?   Renal replacement --> peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, renal transplant  
🗑
What is the function of EPO?   Stimulates RBC formation by the bone marrow to control oxygen carrying capacity of blood. IT determines the RBC count.  
🗑
What happens to EPO in kidney disease?   production and secretion is reduced and Anemia can be seen w/ CRF  
🗑
What do kidneys release to regulate hormonal production and secretion?   Renalase which inactivates catacholamines to regulate BP  
🗑
Do kidneys respond to homeostatic needs?   yes  
🗑
What is the range that urinary volume may vary?   0.5-18 L/day  
🗑
What number can urine be diluted to? Concentrated to?   diluted-50mOsm/Lconcentrated-1200mOsm/L  
🗑
Are the urinary system and reporductive system closely associated?   yes  
🗑
In what animals does the urigenital system occur? What does this system mean?   animals and menmeans the urethra serves as a passage for both urine and sperm  
🗑
What is waste?   substance that is useful to the body or may be present in excess of body's needs  
🗑
What is a waste substance produced by the body? What are are 2 toxic examples?   Metabolic WasteNitrogenous Wastes(ammonia, urea, uric acic, creatine)Non-nitrogenous waste (CO2)  
🗑
what is a bi-product of protein catabolism?   Urea  
🗑
How is Urea formed?   proteins->AA->removal of -NH2 groupNH2 group->ammonia->urea  
🗑
what does uric acid form from?   nucleic acid  
🗑
What causes Azotemia?   accumulation of nitrogenous wastes in blood.  
🗑
What does Azotemia turn into?   uremia  
🗑
What happens after Uremia is reached?   Uremia->convulsion->coma->death  
🗑
what does renal failure require?   Hemodialysis (replaces kidey's job to rid waste and puts blood back into body)  
🗑
What is the normal urine production per day?   1-2 L/day  
🗑
What is Polyuria/divresis?   >2 L/day of urine  
🗑
What is Oliguria?   <500 ml/day of urine  
🗑
What is Anuna?   no urine due to kidney disease, dehydration, or prostate enlargement  
🗑
What is normal urine output per day?   0-100 ml/day  
🗑
At what number is urine output too low to where the body can't maintain a safe low concentration of wast in the blood (Azotemia)   <400 ml/day  
🗑
Why do we care about Kidneys?   Ohh yeah, we don't!!! :)  
🗑
