|
afferent arterioles |
small blood vessels approaching the glomerulus |
|
|
aldosterone |
mineralocortico steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. Regulates sodium and h2o balance
|
|
|
ascites |
intaperitoneal accumulation of fluid (defined as a volume of 500mL or more) containing large amounts of protein and electolytes
|
|
|
collecting duct |
most distal part of the nephron, between the distal convoluted tubules and the ureters
|
|
|
distal convoluted tubule |
part of nephron immediately distal to the loop of henle |
|
|
diuretics |
drugs or other substances that tend to promote the formation and excretion of urine |
|
|
efferent arterioles |
small blood vessels exiting the glomerulus |
|
|
filtrate |
the material theat passes through a filter. in the case of the kidney the filter is the glomerulus and the filtrate is the material extracted from the blood that becomes urine |
|
|
glomerular capsule |
the open , rounded, and most proximal part of the proximal convoluted tulle that surrounds the glomerulus and receives the filtrate from the blood. |
|
|
Glomerular filtration rate |
an estimate of the volume of blood that passes through the glomeruli of the kidney per minute |
|
|
open -angle flaucoma |
a condition in which pressure is elevated in the eye because of obstruction of the outflow of the aqueous humor
|
|
|
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors |
blah |
|
|
where is two thirds of the Na/H2o reabsorbed in the nephron |
the proximal tubule |
|
|
furosemide |
Loop Diuretic : blocks sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending loop of henle. creates potent diuresis and subsequent fluid loss decreased fluid volume potassium and sodium depletion |
|
|
Loop diuretic indications |
manage edema associated with heart failure an d hepatic or renal disease, to control hypertension, and to increase renal excretion of calcium in patients with hypercalcemia. also CHF in diastolic disfunction |
|
|
adverse effects of Loop diuretics |
CNS; Dizziness, headache, tinnitus, blurred vision Integumentary; nausea, vomiting, diarrhea Gastrointestinal; |
