Anatomy #1
Filtration of blood, production of urine, maintaining body's fluid balance, synthesis of Vitamin D
What is:
The function of the kidney
The renal corpuscle and the renal tubule make up this structure in the kidney
What is:
The nephron
The triangular area on the floor of the urinary bladder
What is:
The trigone
The rate at which substances are removed from the blood
What is:
Renal clearance
What is:
The glomerulus
These tubes allow urine to flow from kidneys to the bladder.
What is:
Ureters
Podocytes and pedicels are associated with which structure
What is:
The glomerular capsule
In which organ is the detrusor muscle located?
What is:
The urinary bladder
The composition of glomerular filtrate is different from plasma in which way?
What is:
The larger plasma protein molecules
Used to determine kidney function
What is:
GFR rate
The functional unit of the kidney
What is:
The Nephron
What structural adaptation of epithelial cells enhances reabsorption in the proximal tubule?
What is:
Microvilli
Where the micturition reflex center is located
What is:
In the sacral segments of the spinal cord
What is:
Urea
Kidney cells die as early as what age
What is:
20
The unpaired structure of the urinary system where urine leaves the bladder
What is:
The urethra
What are the name of the water channels that are formed due to ADH signaling in the kidneys
What is:
Aquaporins
Blood flows from the efferent arterioles into:
What is:
The peritubular capillaries
This process is the maintenance of a constant glomerular filtration rate
What is:
Autoregulation
Glomerular filtration produces how much fluid every 24 hours
What is:
180 liters
This structure contains the glomerulus and glomerular capsule
What is:
The renal corpuscle
The inner mucous coat, middle muscular coat, and the outer fibrous coat are the layers in which organ of the Urinary system?
What is:
The ureter
Afferent arterioles are branches of:
What is:
The cortical radiate arteries
Nocturnal enuresis is commonly know as:
What is:
Bedwetting
The percentage of urea reabsorbed in the collecting ducts to be excreted in the ascending limb of the nephron
What is
80%
