Glands & Hormones
These hormones are responsible for regulating blood calcium levels
What are PTH & Calcitonin?
These organs are the target tissue for the mineralcorticoid aldosterone
What are the Kidneys?
This is the primary function of the proximal convoluted tubule
What is Rabsorption?
This is the direction that substances are moving tubular secretion
What is from the Blood to the Filtrate?
This amount of urine in the bladder is responsible for triggering the micturition refex
What is 200 - 400 mls?
These glands are responsible for increasing serum glucose levels & decreasing inflammation
What are the Adrenal?
What are the Bones?
This is the main force responsible for moving substances out of the glomerulus
What is Blood Pressure?
This is what happens to the glomerular filtration rate of blood flow through the kidneys increases
What is Increases?
This portion of the male urethra is situated directly inferior to the bladder
What is Prostatic?
The decrease of this electrolyte in the blood causes the secretion of aldosterone
What is Sodium?
this organ is the target tissue for the hormone glucagon
What is the Liver?
This part of the nephron increases its permeability to water when ADH is present
What is the Distal Convoluted Tubule?
These capillaries wrap around the tubule of the nephron
What are the Peritubular?
Stimulation from this part of the nervous system causes the contraction of the detrusor muscle
What is the Parasympathetic?
This gland releases ADH in response to a drop in plasma water concentration
What is the Posterior Pituitary?
These organs are the target tissues for the hormone LH
What are the Gonads?
This portion of the bladder is covered with parietal peritoneum
What is Superior?
If blood pH is acidic this ion is passively secreted into the distal convoluted tubule
What is Hydrogen?
the renal artery is high in oxygen and this is wastes
What is High?
This hormone released from the anterior pituitary, stimulates the adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids
What is ACTH?
These structures are the target tissues for oxytocin
What are the Breast & Uterus?
This enzyme is released by the kidneys in response to a drop in blood pressure
What is Renin?
This is the percentage of water that can be absorbed in the distal convoluted tubule
This is the outermost layer of the kidney which contains the nephrons
What is the Cortex?
