in teh loop of henle, __ leaves the descending limb but cannot leave the imprermeable ascending layer
water
__% of NaCl and __% of water remain when filtrate reaches the DCT
10, 20
__ affects the DCT ad collecting duct depending on bodies needs (ADH and aldosterone)
hormonal controls
during __, hydrogen, K+ ions, creatinine, ammonium ions, organic acids, move into the filtrate
tubular secretion
the role of tubular secretion is to: (4)
-dispose of drugs
-eliminate urea and uric acid
-excrete K+ ions
-control blood pH
when body pH is low, __ are secreted and HCO3- and K+ are retained
H+
if the body's pH is high __ are reabsorbed and bicarbonate is left in urine
Cl-
solute particles in one liter of water; reflects ability to cause osmosis
osmolarity
what does osmolarity mean?
how many particels are dissolved in a fluid
.001 osmol or .001 moles nonionizing substance in one liter of water
miliosmol
plasma is __ mosm
300
fluid entering the PCT is __ mosm and increases to __ mosm in teh medulla
300, 1200
flow of fluid in the coutercurrent multiplication
descending limb--->ascending limb--->collecitng ducts--->vasa recta
in teh countercurrent multiplication, in teh desceding limb, water passes out and filtrate osmolatiry __
increases
in teh ascending limb during the countercurrent mechanism, the thick segment actibely reabsorbes NaCl into interstitial fluid, __ osmolarity
decreases
in teh collecting ducts during countercurrent mechanism, the fluid goes deep into the medulla where it is permeabel to urea and it diffuses into interstitial fluid and contrubutes to __ osmolarity
high
countercurrent exchanger that maintains osmotic gradient while delivering nutrient blood supply to cells; blood flow is very slow in this.
vasa recta
teh vasa recta recieves only about __% of renal blood supply
10%
urine is diluted in the __
ascending limb
unless __ is secreated, urinie is dilute because collecting ducts are impermeable to wtaer while ions can still be removed by AT or passive mecahnisms
ADH
increases number of water filled channels in preinicap cells of teh collecting duct
ADH
__% of water can be reabosrbed
99
reabsorption that depends on ADH
facultative water reabsorption
during the formation of concentrated urine, the __ of the filtrate becomes euqal to the __; water leaves filtrate in medulla due to hypertonicity.
osmolarity, intersitial fluid
the formation of concentrated urine is impaired if __ because less urea is produced and therefore the medulla is less hypertonic
malnourished
encances urinary output
diruetics
any substance that is not reabsorbed or exceeds the ability of tubules to reabsorb will act as an __ and carry water out with it
osmotic diuretic
__ promotes renal vasodilation and increases GFR
cafeine
caffeine can __ urine oupute
increase
__ inhibits ADH
alcohol
volume of plasma from which a partical or stubstance is completely clearned by kindyes in a given time, usually 1 min
renal clearnace
used to determine GFR to determine functioning of kidneys, detect renal damage
renal clearance
renal clearance=
concentration of flow x flow rate of urine formation / concentration of substance in plasma
__ is used to determine GFR because it is not reabsorbed, sotred, or secreted
inulin
if renal clearance is __ than reabsorption is complete
zero
if renal clearnace is greater than __, it is being secreted
inulin
a clearance value less than that of inulin means that it is __
partially reabsorbed
__ causes the yellow color of urine
urochrome
-foods
-abnormal presence of bile pigments, or blood
-drugs
-vitamins all may cause different __ in urine
color and transparancy
vitamins may cause __ or other colored urine
pink
cloudy urine may indicate an __
infection
drugs, vegatables, deseases may alter usually ammonaia __
smell
urine has a pH of __ but diet can alter it
6
urine's __ is more dense than distilled water due to solutes
specific gravity
urine is __% water and __% solutes
95, 5
urea comes from __ breakdown
amino acid
plood prteins, RBC's glucose, Hb, WBC's, and bile pigments would all be __ of urine
abnormal constituents
the walls of teh ureters are composed of __, __, and __
mucosa, muscularis, and adentitia
responsible for the transport of urine from kidneys to bladder
ureters
when calcium ,magnesium, or uric acid salts crystalize in renal pelvis; can block the ureter
renal calculi
area bounded by ureters and urethra; most urinary infections occur here
trigone
most urinary infections are in the __
trigone
the wall of the urinary bladder is a mucosa made of __
transitional epithelium
the urniary bladder has __ layers
3
muscular layer of teh bladder, inner, outer, and middle layers of smooth muscle
detrusor muscle
bladder-urethra junction, made out of smooth muscle, involuntary
internal urethral sphincter
surrounds the urethra where it passes through the pelvic floor; skeletal muscle
external urethral sphincter
in females, the urethra is __ cm long and bound to the vaginal wall
3-4
in males, the urethra is __ cm long and also carries semen out
20
the male urethra is made out of 3 parts. they are:
-prostatic (2.5 cm)
-membranous (2 cm)
-spongy or penile (15 cm)
why do women get more urniary tract infections than men?
because they have shorter urethras.
afferent impulses to sacral cord and efferent impulses back to the bladder via parasympathetic __ that cause detrusor muscle to contract and teh internal sphincter to relax
pelvic sphlanchinc nerves
__ forces stored urine through teh sphincter into the upper urethra
increasing contractions
__ impulses to the brain give you the urge to go
afferent
