Name an upper urinary tract infection

What is Pyelonephritis

100
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

What is the functioning unit of the kidney?

What is a nephron

200

What Glomerular disease syndrome causes protenuria > 3.5g/day

What is nephrotic syndrome

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
When a substance moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is the law of diffusion?
300

How many stages of kidney disease are there?

5 stages

GFR <15% = ESRD

300

I can hold up to 600 mls of urine before it passes through to the urethra.

What is the urinary bladder?

300

Name three functions of the kidneys?

The kidneys regulate water balance,electrolytes and the PH of blood.

300
This is where PH balance happens and hydrogen ions are secreted or reaborbed.
What is the distal convoluted tubule?
300

What is cystitis?

Inflammation of the bladder

400

What is the most likely culprit for UTIs?

What is E. coli?

400

I connect the proximal convoluted tubule and the distal convoluted tubule.

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
This is where water balance takes place-the last chance before it exits the body as urine.
What is the collecting duct?
400
We are the three main parts of the kidney.
What are the medulla, the cortex, and the renal pelvis?
500
Name one type of hereditary kidney disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease- this is a rare autosomal recessive disorder.

others: Medullary cystic disease and Alport Syndrome

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?
