🗑
The glomerular capsule is composed of an outside layer of simple squamous epithelium (H1) and an inner layer of cells called ______ that wrap around the capillaries   show

This fluid collects in the _______ where it exits at the renal tubule (   show
🗑
show efferent arteriale  
🗑

show loop of hennle  
🗑
loop passes from the cortex into the medulla   show
🗑

have simple squamous epithelium and are very permeable to water   show
🗑
show distal convoluted  
🗑
show juxtaglomerular apparatus  
🗑
is formed by the joining of distal convoluted tubules of several nephrons.   show
🗑
Although the kidneys account for only 0.4% of the overall body weight, they receive about _____of the blood pumped by the heart per minute (cardiac output).   show
🗑
show renal artery  
🗑
Just before or after entering the hilum, the renal artery divides into a few   show
🗑
show interiobar arteries, accuate arteries, interlabular arteries  
🗑
show afferent arterioles,  
🗑
show glomerulus  
🗑
and then leaves the glomerular capsule as an _____   show
🗑
show juxta glomerular apparatus  
🗑
The efferent arteriole leads to a plexus of _________ , which pick up the water and solutes reabsorbed by the renal tubules. These capillaries drain into the interlobular veins (G) and so on   show
🗑
The renal medulla is supplied by a network of vessels called the   show
🗑
show Glomerular filtration2.Tubular reabsorption and secretion3.Water conservation  
🗑
is the process in which water and some solutes in the blood plasma pass from the capillaries of the glomerulus across a three-layer filtration membraneinto the capsular space of the renal corpuscle   show
🗑
the endothelium of the glomerular capillaries are covered with large filtration pores that are highly permeable to many substances, except red/white blood cells.   show
🗑
show basement membrane  
🗑
show filtration slits  
🗑
show glomerular filtration rate  
🗑
is the volume of filtrate produced for every 1 mmHg of filtration pressure. It depends on the permeability and surface area of the filtration barrier   show
🗑
is the driving pressure that creates the pressure gradient between capillary and renal capsule required for fluid movement   show
🗑
______ with the renal capsule is dependent on 1) blood pressure, 2) capsular pressure, and 3) osmotic pressure   show
🗑
is the ability of the nephrons to adjust their own blood flow and GFR without external (nervous or hormonal) control. This allows them to maintain a stable GFR in spite changes in arterial blood pressure   show
🗑
occurs when the smooth muscle surrounding the afferent arteriole contracts when stretched via increases in arterial blood pressure   show
🗑
show vasoconstriction  
🗑
show tubuloglomerular feedback  
🗑
show chemical messengers  
🗑
of the renal blood vessels is very complex because an afferent and efferent both exist   show
🗑
show renin- anglotensin-aldosterone mechanism / renin  
🗑

🗑
show Angiotensin 2  
🗑
Constricts both the afferent and efferent arterioles to reduce GFR and water loss   show
🗑
Stimulate NaCland water reabsorption (increase blood volume)   show
🗑
Stimulate the adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone, which promotes sodium and water retention (increase blood volume)   show
🗑
Stimulate the secretion of antidiuretichormone, which promotes water reabsorption (increase blood volume)   show
🗑
Stimulates the sense of thirst and encourages water intake (increase blood volume)   show
