(139 fully solved
questions)
osmoregulation - answer the control of solute
concentrations(electrolytes) and water balance -
excretion or reabsorption
metabolic waste kidney filters - answer co2 -
generated from oxidative phos
nitrogenous waste - break down of proteins and
deamination of AA (ammonia, add ion to make urea
which can be filtered out in urine)
kidney as a solid organ - answer huge numbers of
tiny tubules, capillaries that are mashed together
to give appearance of a solid organ
actually a tubule organ
cortex of kidney - answer outer portion of kidney,
contains large numbers of renal corpuscles -
filtration (glomerulus and bowman's capsule)
,medulla of kidney - answer inner portion of
kidney, composed of collecting tubules that empty
into the renal pelvis
glomerulus - answer A ball of capillaries
surrounded by Bowman's capsule in the nephron
and serving as the site of filtration in the
vertebrate kidney.
just filtration (blood to lumen)
bowman's capsule - answer cup-shaped strucutre
of the nephron of a kidney which encloses the
glomerulus and which filtration takes place.
functional unit of the kidney - answer nephron
series of continuous tubules
hylas of the kidney - answer where renal artery
enters and major vein leaves
beginning of ureter
afferent arteriole - answer enters glomerulus
efferent arteriole - answer leaves glomerulus
, peritubular capillaries - answer The network of
tiny blood vessels that surrounds the proximal and
distal tubules in the kidney - expand down to vasa
recta, further filtration from afferent arteriole
renal corpuscle - answer glomerulus and
bowman's capsule
filter blood
after filtration, elements in blood - answer RBC,
WBC, platelets and larger proteins
fluid out of blood - answer glucose, electrolytes,
smaller proteins and peptides, returned to body
proximal convoluted tubule - answer first section
of the renal tubule that the blood flows through;
reabsorption of water, ions, and all organic
nutrients - first return
descending loop of henle - answer reabsorption of
water/permeable - returned to capillaries
ascending loop of henle - answer reabsorbs Na+
and Cl- from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid
