Question
Answer
The organs of the urinary system are   Paired kidneys, paired ureters, a bladder, & a urethra  
🗑
A renal corpuscle includes the   Glomerulus and glomerular capsule  
🗑
A nephron consist of   A renal corpuscle and a renal tubule  
🗑
The parts of a renal tubule in correct sequence from beginning to end   Proximal convoluted tubule, descending limb of nephron loop, ascending limb of nephron loop, & distal convoluted tubule  
🗑
A renal corpuscle is a _____, whereas a renal tubule is a _____.   Cluster of blood capillaries and glomerular capsule Highly coiled tubule exiting the glomerular capsule  
🗑
Once in the glomerular capsule, the filtrate moves into the   Renal tubule  
🗑
The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the   Proximal convoluted tubule  
🗑
What increases the rate of glomerular filtration?   Increased blood pressure  
🗑
What regions of the nephron is water actively transported?   None of the above  
🗑
As a result of very low arterial blood pressure, glomerular hydrostatic pressure   Drops & filtration decreases  
🗑
Aldosterone from the adrenal cortex causes sodium ions to be   Conserved & potassium ions to be excreted  
🗑
An increase in glomerular osmotic pressure ____ the rate of glomerular filtration   Decreases  
🗑
Filtration rate in the glomerulus is increased by   Both vasodilation of the afferent arteriole & vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole  
🗑
The juxtaglomerular apparatus regulates the filtration rate by   Renin-angiotensin 2 vasoconstricting both the afferent & efferent arterioles  
🗑
A decrease in the glomerular capsule hydrostatic pressure will ____ the rate of glomerular filtration   Increase  
🗑
If glucose is not reabsorbed in the tubular fluid ____ increases   The osmotic pressure  
🗑
Secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP )   Increases sodium excretion  
🗑
The ________ is the layer that contains the structures that function to filter the blood, called _______. Most renal tubules are located in this layer.   Renal cortex Glomeruli  
🗑
The _________ is the layer that contains the segment of renal tubules called nephron loops that function to produce a hypertonic medullary interstitial fluid.   Renal medulla  
🗑
The _________ is the hollow portion of the kidney, filled with vessels, the renal calyces & renal pelvis.   Renal sinus  
🗑
Water reabsorption from the proximal convoluted tubule is closely linked to the active reabsorption of ______.   Sodium ions  
🗑
The _______ ______ acts as the counter current multiplier.   Nephron loop  
🗑
The increase in osmolarity as filtrate moves down the descending limb is due to ______ moving out of the tubule.   Water  
🗑
The decrease in osmolarity of the filtrate as it moves up the ascending limb due to _____ moving out of the tubule.   Solutes  
🗑
The filtrate is _______ at the tip of the nephron loop & _____ at the end of the ascending limb.   Hypertonic Hypotonic  
🗑
The concentration gradient found in the renal tubules is also found in the interstitial fluid of the ______.   Renal medulla  
🗑
Renal secretion occurs as   Substances pass from the peritubular capillaries to the nephron tubules  
🗑
Describe renal filtration   Fluid leaves the glomerulus & enters the bowman's (glomerular) capsule  
🗑
Increases filtration   Increase in blood pressure Constriction of the efferent arteriole  
🗑
Decreases filtration   An increase in capsular pressure An increase in plasma protein concentration An obstruction in the proximal tubule  
🗑
Process occurring at the nephron   Filtration---> reabsorption---> secretion  
🗑
Responsible for removing substances from blood, urine, & help regulate certain metabolic processes   Kidney  
🗑
Transport of urine from the kidneys   Ureters  
🗑
Collects urine from the ureters   Urinary bladder  
🗑
*** transports urine out of the body   Urethra  
🗑
Reddish brown bean shaped organ with a smooth surface   Kidney  
🗑
