In the Renal Medulla there are Renal pyramids, what are they   The are loops of Henle and the collecting tubules of the nephron also the papilla.  
🗑
Where is the renal pelvis located?   in a space that is a widened area of teh ureturs.  
🗑
The calyces of the renal pelive do what to the papillae of teh renal pyramids?   encloses  
🗑
The nepron is a functional unit of the kidney   true  
🗑
There are 1 million nephrons in each kidney   true  
🗑
The nephron forms urine from the blood   True  
🗑
what are 2 major parts of the nephron?   The renal corpusclesand blood vessels.  
🗑
In reh renal corpuscles what is teh capillary network that starts from an afferant arteriole and ends as efferant arteriole   Glomerulus  
🗑
Efferent arteriole is smaller or larger the the afferent to increase the blood pressure in the glomerulus?   smaller  
🗑
where is the Bowmans capsule (aka glomerular) located?   surrounds the glomerulus  
🗑
How many layers does the Bowmans capsule have   2  
🗑
what is the inner layer of teh bowmans capsule made of?   podo cytes  
🗑
what to the podo cytes in the bowmans capsule cover   the glomerular capillaries  
🗑
Gaps make the glomerular capillaries highly _______?   perimable  
🗑
The outer layer of Bowmans capsule is the expanded end of what   the renal tubule  
🗑
The space between teh 2 layers of teh Bowmans capsule contains what   Ranal filtrate  
🗑
The filtrate eventually becomes what   urine  
🗑
what is the continuation of the outer glomerular capsule   the renal tubule  
🗑
what are the 3 parts of the renal tubual   the Proximal convoluted tubual (cortex), the Loop of Henle (aka Lupe of teh Nephron)(medulla), and the distal convoluted tubule (cortex)

🗑
The distal tubules of several nephrons empty into what   a collecting tubule  
🗑
Several collecting tubules coverge to form a what?   Papillary duct  
🗑
How many major process are in urine formation   3  
🗑
what is the first major process in urine formation   glomerular filtration  
🗑
what is glomerular filtration?   blood pressure forces plasma, dissolved substances and small proteins (collectively called renal filtrate) out of glomeruli into Bowman capsules ( low pressure)  
🗑
Renal filtrate contains waste products and useful non-waste products they are similar to plasma except what   they have no large proteins  
🗑
Glomerular filtration rate- the amount of reanal filtrate is formed in how long   a minute  
🗑
Tubular reabsorption from the renal tubules to the _________   Peritubular  
🗑
what is the percent of filtrate is reabsorption in tubual reabsorption   99%  
🗑
65% of teh reabsorption takes place in teh what   promixal convoluter tubles  
🗑

🗑
What are the mechanisms of reabsorption   avtive transport, passive transport,osmosis,and Pinocytosis  
🗑
in avtive transprot it uses what to actively transport useful materials from the filtrate back to the blood.   ATP  
🗑
Does passive transport require energy   no  
🗑
osmosis is waster follows soultes   true  
🗑
what is active process where the larger molecules are engulfed by the cell membrane of the proximal convoulted tubule   Pinocytosis  
🗑
