Nephron Flow
What is Bowman's capsule?
The process of pushing water and solutes out of blood and into the nephron
What is filtration?
This hormone is released when blood osmolarity is high
What is ADH?
This gland is known as the master gland
What is the pituitary gland?
This condition results from lack of ADH and control of insulin causing excessive urination
What is diabetes insipidus?
This structure reabsorbs the most nutrients and water
What is the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)?
The process of moving substances from filtrate back into blood
What is reabsorption?
This hormone increases sodium reabsorption and raises blood pressure
What is aldosterone?
These hormones are lipid soluble and travel bound to proteins in the blood
What are steroid hormones?
Urine would be _______ if ADH is high
Concentrated
This part of the nephron is permeable only to water
What is the descending limb of loop of henle?
This substance is NOT normally found in filtrate due to size.
What are proteins?
This hormone is released when blood calcium levels are LOW
What is parathyroid hormone
This gland releases insulin and glucagon
What is the pancreas?
This condition involves high thyroid hormone levels and increased metabolism
What is hyperthyroidism?
This structure follows the dct in the filtrate pathway
What is the collecting duct?
This segment pumps out Na+ and Cl - but is impermeable to water
What is the ascending limb of loop of henle?
This hormone is released from the posterior pituitary and directly increases water reabsorption
What is antidiuretic hormone?
This hormone binds to intracellular receptors
What are steroid hormones?
If aldosterone increases sodium is ______
Reabsorbed
This vessel carries blood away from the glomerulus
The hormone that increases water reabsorption in the kidney
What is ADH?
This hormone is released during stress and increases blood glucose levels
What is cortisol
This hormone raises blood glucose levels
What is glucagon?
This hormone and kidney structure work together to concentrate urine during dehydration
What are ADH and collecting duct
