I go from the urinary bladder to the outside world.
What is the Urethra?
100
What does homeostasis mean?
Balance.
100
Blood is under high pressure here and toxins are pushed out of the blood to become filtrates.
What are the glomerulus and bowman's capsule?
100

The kidneys are located in this region.  

The Lumbar Region

200
What are the functional (working) units of the kidneys?
The nephrons.
200
We carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
What are the ureters?
200
What does homeostasis mean in Science class?
The balance between body systems that keep us healthy.
200
This is where salt and water are reabsorbed.
What is the loop of Henle?
200

The angle where you assess for kidney tenderness.

Costovertebral Angle

What are the four functions of the kidneys?
getting rid of wastes, filtering blood, reabsorption, and formation of urine
300
I can hold up to 16 ounces of urine before it passes through to the urethra.
What is the urinary bladder?
300
What are the three functions of the kidneys?
The kidneys regulate water balance,electrolytes and the PH of blood.
300

What shape is the kidney?
The shape of a kidney bean.

I connect the proximal convoluted tubule and the distal convoluted tubule in mammals and birds. Fish don't have one of me.
What is the loop of Henle?
400
What liquid process happens in the nephrons to keep your body in balance?
Blood becomes Filtrate becomes Urine.
400

I and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, promote water reabsorption and reduce urine volume. 

What is ADH, antidiuretic hormone?

400
We are the three main parts of the kidney.
What are the medulla, the cortex, and the renal pelvis?
500
Can you live without your kidneys?
No.
500
I encapsulate (surround) the glomerulus and catch the filtrates that are pushed out of blood.
What is the Bowman's capsule?
500
The first is a passive process and the second is an active process.
What are filtration/diffusion and reabsorption?
500
This is where glucose (sugar) and water are reabsorbed and become filtrate.
What is the proximal convoluted tubule?
500
These muscles must relax in order for you to release urine from your urinary bladder and urinate.
What are the sphincters?
