  • Front
  • Back
The formation of urine begins
with the glomerulus in the glomerular capsule
BP in glomerulus is ___ to ___ times higher than in other capillaries.
3 to 4
Movement of H2O and dissolved minerals thru a membrane under pressure is called_____
Filtration
Movement of materials under pressure from the blood into the capsule is _____
glomerular filtration
The fluid that enters the glomerular capsule is called___
glomerular filtrate
The process of filtration that occurs in the glomerular capsule is followed by a process called __
tubular reabsorption
Higher concentration to lower
concentration
diffusion
Diffusion of water thru a semi
permiable membrane
osmosis
Movement of material through
the plasma membrane against
the concentration gradient
using energy and transporters.
Active transport
Hormone released from the
adrenal cortex under effects
of angiotensis
aldosterone
Atrial myocardial cells
released when BP is too high
ANP
Atrial natriuretic peptide
Made in the hypothalmus and
released from the post pituitary when blood becomes
too concentrated
ADH
Antidiuretic hormone
Enzyme produced by renal cells
when BP falls too low for
effective filtration
renin
Protein in the blood that is
activated by Renin
Angiotensin
Promotes reabsorption of sodium
and water in the kidney to
conserve water and increase BP
Aldosterone
Causes kidney to excrete
sodium and water to decrease
blood volume and BP
ANP
Promotes reabsorption of H2O
from the distal convoluted tubule
and collecting duct to
concentrate the urine + conserve
water
ADH
Activated angiotensin in the
blood
Renin
Causes constriction of vessels
to raise BP; also stimulates
release of aldosterone from the
adrenal cortex and ADH from
the post pituitary
Angiotensin
Substances are actively moved
from the blood into the nephron.
This adjustment is ___
tubular secretion
The kidneys regulate the acid-
base (pH) of body fluids by active
secretion of ____ ___
hydrogen ions
Fluid traveling in opposite
directions within the ascending
and decending limbs of the
nephron loop to regulate the
amount of water eliminated
countercurrent mechanism
The release of ADH from the post
pituitary is regulated by a
___ ___
feedback system
As blood becomes more
concentrated the ____ triggers
more ___ release fron the post
pituitary.
hypothalmus
ADH
As the blood becomes more
dilute less ___ is released.
ADH
In diabetes insipidus there is
an inadequate secretion of ___
from the hypothalmus resulting
in polyuria and polydipsia
ADH
Glomerular filtration allows
diffusible materials to pass from
the ___ into the ___
blood
nephron
Tubular reabsorption moves use-
ful substances back into the
___ while keeping waste in the
____ to be elimated as urine
blood
nephron
Tubular secretion moves
additonal substances from the __
into the ___ for elimination.
blood
nephron
The countercurrent mechanism
concentrates the urine and
reduces the ____ excreted
volume
The kidneys internal mechanism
for maintain adequate filtration
pressure. Specialized portion of
the nephron is the ___
juxtagolmerular (JG) apparatus
Urine is moves along the ureter
from the kidneys to the bladder
by ___ and ___ at frequent
intervals
gravity
peristalsis
The bladder's lining is in folds called ____
rugae
A moderately full bladder holds
about ___ pint of urine
one
The triangular-shaped region in
the floor of the bladder
trigone
The JG apparatus is made up of
cells from which two structures?
Distat convoluted tubule
afferent arteriole
The pH of fresh urine is
6.0
range of 4.5 to 8.0
The amount of dissolved
substances in urine is indicated
by____
specific gravity
Some of the dissolved
substances found in urine are __
Nirtogenous waste products- urea
Electrolytes - NaCl sulfates phos
Pigment - bile or food
Older pts have decrease in # and size of nephrons. This may
lead to and increase in __ __ __
Blood urea nitrogen
(BUN)
The normal amount of body
water is ___ to ___% of body
weight
50 - 70
Extracellular fluid includes
Interstitial fluid, blood plasma,
lymph, Fluid in special compart
ments (eyes)
About 200 mL of water is
produced daily as a by-product
of _____
cellular respiration
(called metabolic water)
Water is being lost from the
body in these 4 ways
kidneys, skin, lungs, intestinal
tract
The control center for thrist is
in the
hypothalmus
Positive ions are called
cations
Positive ions are
#1 Sodium
#2 Potassium
#3 Calcium
Negative Ions include

Chloride - #1 anion in extracell
ular fluids
Parathyroid hormones ___ blood
