Question
Answer
4 functions of kidneys   1) regulate blood volume; 2) regulate blood electrolytes; regulate blood pH blood; 3) regulate volume, electrolyte content and pH in tissue fluid  
🗑
where are kidneys located   retroperitoneal  
🗑
what is the membrane that covers the kidneys called   renal fascia  
🗑
internal structure of the kidneys has two tissue layers and a cavity, what is the outer layer called   renal cortex  
🗑
what is the inner layer called   renal medulla  
🗑
what is the cavity called   renal pelvis  
🗑
each kidney has an indentation where the arteries and the veins exit and enter and it is also where the ureter exits, what is the indentation called   hilus  
🗑
in the renal corpuscle the glomerulus is surrounded by what capsule   Bowman's capsule  
🗑
this expands out with tubules and inside there are foot cells that make pores - between these layers is a fluid that will become urine, what is this fluid called   renal filtrate  
🗑
when the tubules and the renal tubule unite they form what duct   Papillary duct  
🗑
these papillary ducts empty urine into what part of the renal pelvis   calyx  
🗑
what are the 3 steps to the formation of urine - put them in correct order   1) glomular filtration; 2) tubular reabsorption; 3) tubular secretion  
🗑
we have 4 mechanisms of absorption, during active transport the cells and the renal tubules need what energy to transport materials   ATP  
🗑
during passive transport after positive ions are reabsorbed what else is reabsorbed   negative ions  
🗑
during osmosis what is reabsorbed after minerals   water  
🗑
during pinocytosis proteins are absorbed out by what part of the cell   membrane  
🗑
there are 3 hormones that influence absorption - name the hormones and what mechanisms they are responding to   1) aldosterone - to high potassium, low sodium & low BP; 2) ANH - to high BP and high blood volume; 3) ADH - to low body water volume  
🗑
the ureters stem from where to where and allow urine to flow   kidneys to the bladder  
🗑
what is it called when the smooth muscle of the ureters contracts   peristalsis  
🗑
what is the smooth muscle of the bladder called   detrusor  
🗑
within the urinary bladder what are the folds that permit the bladder to expand called   rugae  
🗑
urination is also known as   micturition  
🗑
the yellow color of urine comes from the breakdown of bile and is called   urochrome  
🗑
the 1st and most primary evaluation of the urinary system is often done with a simple test called   urinalysis  
🗑
the procedure is used to directly visualize the internal structures of the urethra, the urinary bladder and allows for biopsy is called   cystoscopy  
🗑
if someone has a normal urinalysis this demonstrates 4 things which are   1) proper filtration; 2) proper absorption; 3) proper elimination; 4) precise fluid & electrolyte balance  
🗑
name 5 characteristics of the urine   1) color; 2)odor; 3) pH; 4) specific gravity; 5) constituents; 6) amount  
🗑


   

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.
