The Kidney
There are four main functions of the kidney. It processes blood by removing metabolic wastes (urea and uric acid), regulates blood pressure, ionic/pH balance of blood, and...
Where is conserve water?
The histology for this structure is described as "spaghetti and meatballs" by Dr. Aulthouse.
What is the renal cortex? // What is the "meatball" analogous to? What is "spaghetti" analogous to?
The functional unit of a kidney.
What is the nephron?
This part of the equation, p^2 + 2pq + q^2 =1, represents the homogenous dominant allele frequency.
Who is p^2?
A zygote is the union of two substances.
What are the egg and sperm?
The structure is the LAST chance for any reabsorption of nutrients/ions.
What is the distal convoluted tubule (DCT)?
Describe the histology of a renal pyramid/medullary pyramid.
Open ended.
The nephron consists of two parts. (i) This contains the glomerulus (a tuft/ball of capillaries) and (ii) the other part consists of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), nephron loop (loop of Henle), and the distal convoluted tubule (DCT).
What are the (i) renal corpuscle and (ii) tubular portion?
The eyes are ___ to the nose.
What is lateral?
Name the seven hormones released from the adenohypophysis.
What are ACTH, FSH, LH, TSH, GH, PRL, and MSH?
The kidney has two components: a cortex and a medulla. The kidney is described as having pyramid-shaped structures and tissue surrounding the base and between them. Match the component with its appropriate description.
What type of epithelium makes up the parietal layer of the Bowman's capsule/ glomerular capsule?
What is Simple squamous epithelium?
This is the visceral layer of Bowman's capsule/glomerular capsule.
What are podocytes?
This makes up the majority of the innermost part of the epiphysis.
What is spongy bone?
What are the parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe?
The distinction between major calyx and minor calyx.
What are all the minor calyxes that make up the major calyx?
Describe the epithelium of the beginning of the proximal convoluted tubule.
What is simple cuboidal epithelium?
Name the three basic processes of a nephron.
Who are filtration, reabsorption, and secretion?
The small sections of an unmyelinated axon.
What is the Node of Ranvier?
This muscle bends the leg at the knee and extends the thigh back.
What are the Biceps femoris?
The kidney exports all of its material via this structure to reach the urinary bladder.
Who is the Ureter?
The filtration membrane is located in this part of the urinary system.
What is the renal corpuscle (of the nephron)?
This component reabsorbs sodium ions and chloride ions from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid.
What is ascending loop of Henle?
The DNA replication theory hypothesized that the original DNA strand stays connected to each other after the replication of a new strand of DNA.
What is conservative replication?
This structure travels perpendicular to the central canal openings of the osteons.
What is a perforating canal?
