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
