Q

It is an aspect of homeostasis in human body in which the amount of water needs to be controlled, through osmoregulation and behavior, such that the concentrations of electrolytes (salts in solution) in the various body fluids are kept within healthy ranges.

25
The lamina propria is lined by a unique stratified epithelium called _______ that is resistant to the potentially deleterious effects of contact with hyper- tonic urine.
transitional epithelium or urothelium
26
________of small basal cells resting on a very thin basement membrane
A single layer
27
________containing from one to several layers of cuboidal or low columnar cells
An intermediate region
28
____________which are highly differentiated to protect the underlying cells against the potentially cytotoxic effects of hypertonic urine
superficial layer of large bulbous or elliptical umbrella cells
29
The bladder in an average adult can hold _________
400-600 mL of urine
30
with the urge to empty urine appearing at about
150-200 ml.
31
The muscularis consists of three poorly delineated layers, collectively called
detrusor muscle
32
The mucosa of these organs is lined by the uniquely stratified urothelium or transitional epithelium
URETER and URINARY BLADDER
33
A specialized structure formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
34
It is located near the vascular pole of the glomerulus and its main function is to regulate blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus.
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
35
The renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries, called
glomerulus
36
surrounded by a double layer of epithelial cells, called
glomerular (Bowman's) capsule
37
The inner or visceral layer of the capsule consists of unique and highly modified branching epithelial cells, called
podocytes
38
_________are adjacent to and completely invest the glomerular capillaries.
podocytes
39
It consists of simple squamous epithelium
outer or parietal layer of the glomerular capsule
40
Kidneys each contain 1-4 million functional units (parenchyma) called
nephrons or uriniferous tubules.
41
The major divisions of each nephron are:
Renal corpuscle Proximal tubule Loop of Henle (or nephron loop) Distal tubule
42
consisting of a thick straight part ascending from the loop of Henle back into the cortex and a convoluted part completely in the cortex.
Distal tubule
43
It is not part of the nephron.
collecting tubule
44
an initial dilated part enclosing a tuft of capillary loops and the site of blood filtration; always located in the cortex;
Renal corpuscle
45
A long convoluted part, located entirely in the cortex, with a shorter straight part that enters the medulla;
Proximal tubule
46
in the medulla, with a thin descending and a thin ascending limb;
Loop of Henle (or nephron loop)
47
Amount
1-2 Liters/24 hours
48
PH
pH average = 6 Range = 4.6-8
49
Color
Straw or amber, Darker means concentrated Should be clear not cloudy
50
Specific gravity
1.010 to 1.025 it is a measure of the dissolved material in urine; the lower the value, the more dilute the urine
51
It hasthe greatest effect on the urine pH
Diet
52
Each kidney is bean-shaped, with a ______
concave hilum
53
Attached to each minor calyx is a
renal pyramid
54
The cortex and hilum are covered with a
fibrous capsule.
55
The ureter divides and subdivides into several
major and minor calyces,
56
consisting mostly of aligned linear tubules and ducts
Inner renal medula
57
the renal medulla in human consist of 8-5 conical structures called
Renal pyramids
58
All with their bases meeting the cortex (at the corticomedullary junction) and separated from each other by extensions of the cortex called
Renal columns
59
The tip of each pyramid
Renal papilla
60
A conical region of medulla delimited by extensions of cortex
Renal Pyramid
61
It is covered with a fibrous capsule
Cortex and Hilum
62
Renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillary called
Glomerulus
63
It is surrounded by a double layer of epithelial cells called glomerular capsule
Renal corpuscle
