All I see is P
Receives filtrate from the bowman's capsule in the nephron
What is the proximal convoluted tubule?
Gonads responsible for the production of sperm and testosterone
What are the testes?
DAILY DOUBLE
What is gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)?
The sympathetic nervous system can regulate GFR using the hormone norepinephrine, which causes a decrease in GFR due to vasoconstriction of this blood vessel
What is the afferent arteriole?
The very first chapter studied in this class covered this system
What is the endocrine system?
Complexes made up of amino acids containing amino and carboxyl groups.
What are proteins?
The muscular organ that nourishes and supports a growing embryo/fetus
What is the uterus?
Known as a 'mineralocorticoid', this hormone functions to stimulate retention of sodium
What is aldosterone?
GFR is increased by vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole in the kidney. Such an affect can be triggered by angiotensin II, which is converted from angiotensin I by this enzyme
What is angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE)?
Attending lecture is an important aspect of many college classes. This class's lectures were held in a classroom with this room number
What is 203?
The most superficial layer of the wall of the uterus
What is the perimetrium?
Delaying of micturition is done by voluntary control of this structure
What is the external urethral sphincter?
During ovulation, high estradiol levels lead to a surge in the levels of this hormone
What is Luteinizing Hormone (LH)?
As part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism, this compound is released by the macula densa to help lower GFR
What is adenosine?
The upcoming exam covers the chapters on the urinary system, acid-base homeostasis and the reproductive system. On the 2nd exam, we covered content relating to the heart and this smaller chapter.
What is blood vessels?
A structure containing the collecting ducts and loops of Henle
What are the pyramids?
Together, the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule form this structure
What is the renal corpuscle?
Released by the heart in response to increased blood volume, this hormone causes vasodilation of the afferent arteriole
What is Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)?
Glomerular Filtration Rate describes the volume of filtrate formed by both kidneys within this unit of time
What is an hour?
Though your grades in this class come primarily from exams and lab practicals, altogether, there are this many total points available in the class according to the syllabus
What is 1000 points?
The stage of the uterine cycle stimulated by increasing estradiol levels, during which new layers are added to the endometrial lining.
What is the proliferative phase?
The countercurrent multiplication system produces a osmolarity gradient that plays an important role. The system functions thanks to the proximity between the nephron loops and this capillary
What is the vasa recta?
The secretory phase of the uterine cycle is stimulated primarily by an increase in this hormone
What is progesterone?
ANP and BNP both function to increase GFR through vasodilation of the afferent arteriole. This is achieved through the relaxation of this type of muscle
What is vascular smooth muscle?
Though I often call him John, our professor does have a last name. Writing his last name would require this many letters.
What is 7 letters?
