Question | Answer |
functional unit of the kidney | nephron |
this part of the nephron dips into the renal medulla | loop of Henle |
this organ filters blood and helps remove waste | kidney |
the tube between the kidney and the bladder | ureter |
this provides a storage tank for the urine | urinary bladder |
these folds in the bladder stretch out as the bladder fills | rugae |
this posterior pituitary hormone causes water to be reabsorbed in the kidney | antidiuretic hormone |
a condition caused by the lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) | diabetes insipidus DI causes the urine to be very dilute |
this tube inside the kidney reabsorbs water and concentrates the filtrate | collecting duct |
a mass of twisting capillaries in the Bowman's capsule | glomerulus |
this convoluted tubule comes before the loop of Henle | proximal convoluted tubule |
protein in the urine | proteinuria |
tube from the bladder to the outside | urethra |
the inability to control urine | urinary incontinence |
a drug or substance that increases urine volume | diuretic |
low urine output | oliguria |

the amount of fluid filtered by both kidneys is known as | Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) |
a process that artificially filters blood as a kidney would | dialysis |
The adrenal gland hormone that causes the body to retain sodium (and thus water) This causes an increase in blood pressure. | aldosterone |

inner region of the kidney | renal medulla |
location of kidneys | retroperitoneal (behind the peritoneum) Kidneys are in the back, tucked under the bottom ribs. |
