Question
Answer
show nitrogenous wastes.the electrolyte, water or fluid, and acid-base or pH balance of the blood.  
🗑
show micturition.  
🗑
show external urethral or external sphincter.  
🗑
smooth membrane; tightly adherent to the kidney surface =   show
🗑
-portion of the kidney containing mostly collecting ducts =   show
🗑
-portion of the kidney containing the bulk of the nephron structures =   show
🗑
-superficial region of kidney tissue =   show
🗑
show renal Pelvis  
🗑
a cup-shaped extension of the pelvis that encircles the apex of a pyramid =   show
🗑
area of cortical tissue running between the medullary pyramids =   show
🗑
show glomerulus  
🗑
primary site of tubular reabsorption =   show
🗑
secondarily important site of tubular reabsorption =   show
🗑
show collecting duct  
🗑
show peritubular capillaries  
🗑
show glomerular capsule  
🗑
show Renal Artery to segmental artery lobar artery interlobar artery arcuate artery interlobular artery afferent arteriole glomerulus efferent arteriole peritubular capillary bed interlobular vein arcuate vein interlobar vein  
🗑
Trace the anatomical pathway of a molecule of creatinine (metabolic waste) from the glomerular capsule to the urethra. Note each microscopic and/or gross structure it passes through in its travels. Name the subdivisions of the renal tubule.   show
🗑
show Helps to anchor the kidneys to the dorsal body wall and cushions it against blows.  
🗑
Define ptosis:   show
🗑
Why is incontinence a normal phenomenon in the child under 1 1/2 to 2 years old? What events may lead to its occurrence in the adult?   show
🗑
show It is both fed and drained by arterioles (which are high pressure vessels compared to venules), and the afferent arteriole has a larger diameter than the efferent arteriole.  
🗑
show Their possession of dense microvilli (especially the PCT cells).  
🗑
show Tubular secretion is the process of moving substances from the tubule cells or from the peritubular capillary blood into the tubule filtrate. It is important for adjusting pH and eliminating substances not already in the filtrate.  
🗑
show It would become acidic (decreased pH).  
🗑
Define juxtaglomerular apparatus:   show
🗑
What is important functionally about the specialized epithelium (transitional epithelium) in the bladder?   show
🗑
Which of the following regions of the nephron may be found in the renal medulla?   show
🗑
show Glomerulus  
🗑
show Renal Columns  
🗑
Indicate which term does not belong in the following grouping: Nephron, proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tuble and collecting duct.   show
🗑
show False  
🗑
The terminal portion of the urinary system is the urethra.   show
🗑
The entire responsibility of urine formation lies in the nephron.   show
🗑
show False  
🗑
Tubular secretion is effective in controlling blood pH   show
🗑
Blood in the urine may be a symptom of bladder cancer   show
🗑
show renal corpuscle and renal tubules  
🗑
show functional unit of the kidney  
🗑
The basic functions of the nephrons are: 1. osmosis, 2. filtration, 3. diffusion, 4. secretion, 5. reabsorption   show
🗑
show Vasa Recta  
🗑
Which structure below in NOT a part of the renal tubules?   show
🗑
Particles smaller than 3 nanometers are passed into the filtrate.   show
🗑
show False  
🗑
show False  
🗑
The kidney consumes about 15% of all oxygen used by the body at rest.   show
🗑
Having a kinked ureter is called renal ptosis.   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
