urinary bladder and urethra

what are some functions of the kidneys -Correct Answer ✔- filter blood plasma and
excrete metabolic toxic waste
- regulate blood volume, pressure, and osmolarity by regulating water output
-regulate electrolyte and acid-base balance of body-fluids

what are the three protective layers of kidney -Correct Answer ✔renal fascia, perirenal
fat capsule, fibrous capsule

A fibrous ____ binds the kidney and associated organs to the abdominal wall. -Correct
Answer ✔renal fascia

____ is a layer of adipose tissue that cushions the kidney and holds it in place -Correct
Answer ✔perirenal fat capsule

the ____ encloses the kidney ans protects the kidney from trauma and infection. -
Correct Answer ✔fibrous capsule

renal fraction -Correct Answer ✔the kidneys receive about 21% of the cardiac output
(more for waste removal than for metabolic needs)

the renal artery divides into ____ arteries which divide into ____ arteries -Correct
Answer ✔segmental; interlobar

the interlobar arteries branch to form ____ arteries which then branches into ___
arteries -Correct Answer ✔arcuate; cortical radiate

the cortical radiate arteries give rise to _____ -Correct Answer ✔afferent arterioles

each afferent arteriole supplies one functional unit of the kidney called a ___ -Correct
Answer ✔nephron

the afferent arterioles leads to a ball of capillaries called _____. -Correct Answer
✔glomerulus

blood leaves the glomerulus by way of an ___- -Correct Answer ✔efferent arteriole

the efferent arteriole leads to a plexus of _____ . It forms a network around a part of the
nephron called the renal tubule. -Correct Answer ✔peritubular capillaries

what is the function of the renal tubule -Correct Answer ✔it reabsorbs most of the water
and solutes that filtered out the blood at the glomerulus and returns these to the
bloodstream by way of the peritubular capillaries

what is another route the efferent arterioles can take -Correct Answer ✔can lead to the

encloses it -Correct Answer ✔glomerulus

what type of cell makes up the inner layer of the glomerular capsule -Correct Answer
✔podocytes

the two layers of the glomerular capsule are separated by a filtrate- collecting space
called ____ -Correct Answer ✔capsular space

glomerulus, and efferent arteriole leaves the capsule and carries blood away -Correct
Answer ✔vascular pole
