which is not a function of the kidneys?
storage of urine
the largest amount of solute and water reabsorption from filtered fluid occurs in?
proximal convoluted tubule
the adult kidney has _ nephrons than a newborns.
larger
the _ do the primary work of the urinary system; other organs in the system transport or store urine.
kidney
the _ are individual functional units of the kidneys that actually form urine
nephrons
the _ is the part of the nephrons that allows formation of concentrated urine, even in absence of ADH or aldosterone.
loop of henle
the formation of filtrate occurs as water and solutes move from the _ to the glomerular capsule
glomerular capillaries
the total amount of filtrate formed in both kidneys each minute is the _
glomerular filtration rate
tubular_ returns water, glucose and other substances from the filtrate to the blood.
reabsorption
tubular _ moves materials from the tubular cells and blood into the tubular fluid.
secretion
the _ is a temporary reservoir for urine.
bladder
the _ drains urine from the urinary bladder; its longer in males than females
urethra
urine is concentrated in the loop of henle by the __ effect
countercurrent
the __ is sensitive to aldosterone
distal convoluted tubule
glucose is removed by filtrate in the __
proximal tubule
the __ transports urine from kindeys to the urinary bladder
ureters.
blood urea nitrogen and ___ are measured clinically as an index of renal function.
plasma creatinine
places in right order. 10collecting duct 2)descending loop of henle 3)ureters 4)glomerular capillaries 5)ascending loop of henle 6)bowmans capsule 7) DCT 8) PCT
4,6,8,2,5,7,1,3
the principal cells in tthe collecting ducts
secrete variable amounts of potassium based on dietary intake
each of the following can ordinarily cross the filtration membrane except.
platlets
which pressure opposes glomerular filtration?
*capsular hydrostatic pressure
*bcop
autoregulation of the GFR occurs by two mechanisms which are:
myogenic and tubuloglomerular feedback
mechanisms that control glomerular filtration include
renal autoreg, neural control, hormonal control, renin-angiotensis-aldosterone system.
which of the following would be expected to increase GFR?
decreased angiotensin II levels and increased ANP levels
the intercalated cells in the collecting duct
*regulate the amount og hydrogen ion secreted into the urine
*regulate pH by regulating reabsorption of bicarbonate ion
the collecting ducts
are sensitive to antidiuretic hormone
which part of the nephron contains Na-K-2Cl transporter?
ascending loop of henle
as tubular fluis flows up the ascending loop of hence
its osmolarity decreases
as tubular fluis flows down the descending loop of henle,
the osmolarity increases
which pressure promotes glomerular filtration?
glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure
the kidneys play a role in acid/base balance by
excreting hydrogen ions and reabsorbing bicarbonate ions
ADH
increases water reabsorption in the collecting duct of the kidney
which hormones promote fluid loss under normal conditions?
atrial natriuretic peptide
which of the following does NOT constitute as a buffer system in the human body?
Na+/K+ ATPase
the normal pH range for arterial blood is
7.35-7.45
which is NOT a major mechanism that regulates the pH of body fluid?
excretion of Na+
physiological buffers
*prevent drastic ph changes, *include proteins such as clbumin and hemoglobin, * include phosphate and carbonic acid-bicarbonate systems
metabolic acidosis is characterized by___
decreased HCO3
which of the following is conditions is associated with respiratory alkalosis
hyperventilation
a stressed out student takes antacids to clam her stomach, which will develop?
metabolic alkalosis
___ is characterized by and increased bicarbonate level
respiratory alkalosis
__ is characterized by decreased pCO2 and is caused by hyperventilation
respiratory alkalosis
___ is characterized by an elevated pCO2 and is caused by hypoventilation
respiratory acidosis
___ is characterized by decreased bicarbonate level
metabolic acidosis
and increase in the rate and depth of breathing causes more carbon dioxide to be exhaled which will __ the blood pH.
Increase
___ is the body's attempt to restore pH in an acid/base balance
compensation
a decrease in the rate and depth of breathing causes less CO2 to be exhaled which will ___ the blood pH
decrease
in response to decreased blood volume the hormone ___ stimulates the thirst center in the hypothalamus
angiotensin II
in response to increased blood volume the hormone ___ decreases sodium and water reabsorption
atrial natriuretic peptide
diuretics __ reabsorption of sodium and water
decrease
