Q

Glomerular filtration

A

Blood from the renal artery is filtered in the glomerulus. The filtered product which contains water, salts, nutrients, waste products is called glomerular filtrate

17
Q

Renal medulla

A

Middle layer
Composed of collecting tubules for the urine that I’d formed in the kidney

18
Q

Renal pelvis

A

Inner later
A funnel, divided into 2 or 3 large collecting cups called major calyces

19
Q

Pathway

A

The blood is filtered
Filtrate through tiny tubules in the medulla and collects in the renal pelvis
The renal pelvis empties into the ureter where the filtered urine is carried to the bladder

20
Q

Afferent arteriole

A

Leads to a ball of capillaries called glomerulus

21
Q

Efferent arterioles

A

Leave from the glomerulus

22
Q

Peritubular capillaries and collecting tubules

A

Specialized series of capillaries
Part of the renal nephron
Wrapped around the tube

23
Q

Bowman capsule

A

Surrounds the glamerulus
Part of the nephron

24
Q

The nephron

A

Functional unit of the kidney
Can be divided into two part
Renal corpuscle
Renal tubule

25
Q

Renal corpuscle

A

The first part which is filtered
Double filter

26
Q

Renal tubule

A

Where reabsorption and secretion take place

27
Q

Glomerular filter

A

Material filtered from the blood unto the glomerular capsule
Location

28
Q

Nephron lobe or Loop of henle

A

From the proximal tubule, glomerular filtrate flows into
Consists of descending loop of henle and ascending loop of henle

29
Q

Filtration

A

Pass through glomerular capillaries into the glomerular capsule
Moves into nephron from blood
Filtrate flows into the renal tubules

30
Q

Peritublar

A

Tiny blood vessels in the capillaries

31
Q

Reabsorbed

A

went through the filter and into the glomerular capsule can be reabsorbed into peritubular capillaries

32
Q

Secretion

A

Is when substances move from the capillaries into the renal tubule and leave in the urine

33
Q

Permeability

A

Is how easy it is for substances (such as glucose) to pass through the wall

34
Q

Kidneys role in homeostasis

A

Maintain electrolyte balance
Acid/base relationship
Hormones assist

35
Q

Major calyx and minor calyx

A

Filtrate flows out of the collecting duct into the minor calyces and then into the major calyces

36
Q

Urination reflex

A

Bladder fills, this stretch triggers urinary reflex, signal sent to brain.
Brain sends signals back to contract for bladder to empty

37
Q

Urinary tract infections

A

Is caused by the movement of fecal bacteria into the urinary tract

38
Q

Permeability

A

The state or quality of a material or membrane that cause it to allow liquid or gasses to pass through it

39
Q

Osmosis

A

Equalizing the concentration of both sides of the material

40
Q

Diffusion

A

Spreading of something more widely

A
