1. Where is the blood in vessel A coming from? What color is it? What is the level of wastes in this vessel compared to vessel B?
|
A = Renal artery/ red/ high wastes
|
|
2. What are the names given to vessels C and E? What is the significance of the difference in their diameters?
|
Efferent and afferent arterioles and the difference in diameter creates hydrostatic pressure that makes glomerular capillaries leak.
|
|
3. What is the name given to the vessels at D? What specialized type of cell makes up the capillaries here? What happens to the blood plasma here? What is the blood plasma called when it enters F?
|
Glomerulus capillaries which are made of podocytes, also called foot cells, the plasma leaks through filtration slits to become filtrate.
|
|
4. What are the names given to F? What is the function of F?
|
Bowman’s capsule or glomerulus capsule which collects filtrate.
|
|
5. What is the name for G? What does the word convoluted mean? Why do you think the tube is convoluted? Which part to the kidney is this section of the tubule in?
|
Proximal convoluted tubule/ to create surface area/cortex
|
|
6. What is the name for H? Which part of the kidney is this section of the tubule in? Are the fluids in this tubule more or less concentrated in the F tubule?
|
Distal convoluted tubule/ renal corpuscle/ less concentrated
|
|
7. What is the name for the tubule I? What important inorganic molecule either remains in this tubule or is released from it by ADH? Where is ADH made? What two common chemicals, that should not be consumed by minors, affect ADH levels in the blood stream?
|
Collecting tubule, water is either returned to circulation or goes on to become urine. ADH made in pituitary
|
|
8. What is the difference in the fluid in the J portion of the tubule as opposed to the I portion of the tubule?
|
Alcohol > caffine
More urine at I |
|
9. What are the names of the tubule at L and M?
|
Loop of Henle
|
|
10. What is the name given to the vessels K and M? What is the function of this net of vessels?
|
Peritubular capillaries – They reabsorb important molecules and ions from the filtrate and return them to the body
|
|
11. How is the process of diffusion used in a kidney dialysis machine to restore homeostasis?
|
Unwanted solutes diffuse out of the blood, allowing the ion concentration in the blood to return to normal
