LE Muscles
This long ribbon like muscle runs diagonally across the anterior thigh and helps flex the hip and knee:
What is the Sartorius
This structure moistens and filters inspired air:
What is the Nose
This outer region of the kidney is where filtration begins:
What is the Renal Cortex
The primary function of the renal tubule is to transport urine from the kidney to the bladder:
False- the primary function of the renal tubule is reabsorption and secretion; the ureter transports urine to the bladder
What is the term for pointing the foot downwards and away from the leg:
What is Plantar Flexion
This is located in the anterior lower leg and dorsiflexes the foot:
What is the Tibialis Anterior
This is the passageway that connects the nasal cavity to the larynx and the oral cavity to the esophagus:
What is the Pharynx
This fluid is formed right after blood is filtered:
What is Filtrate
The primary force driving the exhale (expiration) during quiet, resting breathing is the contraction of the diaphragm muscle:
False- The primary force driving quiet expiration is the elastic recoil of the lungs, not muscle contraction (The diaphragm relaxes)
What is the three-step process in the nephron that moves substances from the blood back to the tubule for excretion:
What is Secretion
The quadricep muscles can flex the hip because this crosses the hip joint:
What is the Rectus Femoris
This is the structure air reaches last in the pathway of airflow:
What is the Alveoli
This is the correct orientation for the kidney at the start of the lab. (i.e: The ___ side faces up):
What is the Convex Side
The process of inspiration (inhalation) is primarily an active process driven by muscle contraction:
True!
What is the tough, fibrous connective tissue layer that directly encases and protects the kidney:
What is the Renal Capsule
These two muscle groups act as antagonist at the knee where one extends the knee and the other flexes it:
What are Quadriceps and Hamstrings
This is the zone that consists of airways from the nose to the respiratory bronchioles:
What is the Conducting Zone
Urine travels through the ureter to reach this organ:
What is the Bladder
All three hamstring muscles originate on the ischial tuberosity of the pelvis:
True!
What is the general term for a muscle that aids the prime mover by stabilizng a joint or assisting the movement:
What is a Synergist
This hamstring muscle originates on the ischial tubersoity and assists with both hip extension and knee flexion:
What is the Semimembranosus
What are the three muscle that are used to perform a task during forced inspiration:
What are the Sternocleidomastoid, Scalenes, and Pectoralis Minor
This kidney region contains the pyramids where filtrate begins to change into urine:
What is the Renal Medulla
Filtrate becomes urine primarily through the process of filtration and secretion, while reabsorption plays a minor role:
False- Reabsorption plays the major role, reclaiming approximately 99% of filtered water and solutes
What is the movement of gases (like O2 and CO2) across the alveolar and capillary walls due to concentration gradients:
What is diffusion
