~smallest functioning unit
~consists of glomerulus, collecting ducts, tubules

Front 2

loop of henle

Back 2

~reabsorb of Na, H2O

Front 3

renin

Back 3

~enzyme released by the kidney to help control the body's Na-K balance, fluid volume, and BP

Front 4

erythropoietin

Back 4

~glycoprotein (4m kidney)
~stimulate the production of red blood cells

Front 5

juxtaglomerular junction

Back 5

~senses when pt is losing blood
~BP decr
~calls Renin (hormone released by kidney)
~converts angiotensin I -> angiotensin II (to vasoconstrict)

Front 6

renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cycle

Back 6

~conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I
~then converted to angiotensin II, in the lung
~angio II's action stim the release of aldosterone 4m the adrenal cortex
~angio and aldosterone incr the blood vol, the BP, and the blood Na

Front 7

captopril test

Back 7

~screening test for hypertension of kidney
~PRE:oral dose of captopril
~BP now & 60mins later
~pos if BP decr
