kidneys primary functions filtration, reabsorption, secretion and excretion

1. Filters the blood of waste; develops a concentrated urine
excretion does what 3 things 2. Eliminates waste: electrolytes, metabolites,and nitrogenous compounds
3. Maintains acid-base balance: H+ secretion, HCO3- reabsorption

excretion filters the _______ of waste and blood, concentrated
develops _____________________

excretion eliminates __________ like _________ , waste: electrolytes, metabolites, and nitrogenous compounds
____________ and ____________

, excretions maintains _______________ like _________ acid-base balance: H+ secretion, HCO3- reabsorption
and ___________

1. Synthesizes the active form of vitamin D
secretion does what 3 things in kidney 2. Secretes renin to activate RAAS
3. Secretes erythropoietin to stimulate erythropoiesis

secretion synthezises the active form of vitamin D
_________

secretion secretes ______to activate renin to activate RAAS
___________

secretion secretes ____ to stimulate erythropoietin to stimulate erythropoiesis
_______________

nephron is the basic unit of the kidney

nephron is a sequence of _____ that filter tubes that filter blood of waste and conserve the fluids and electrolytes
what

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is The renal blood filtered per unit of time

what does GFR measure kidney function

GFR is directly related to renal perfusion

what causes decrease GFR decreased renal perfusion and blood pressure

how can GFR be measured serum creatinine clearance

kidneys release EPO in response to low oxygen levels a stimulates the synthesis and
RBC production how?
maturation of erythrocytes.

In response to low renal perfusion, kidneys secrete renin à activates RAAS (Renin
Control of Blood Pressure
Angiotensin Aldosterone System)

in response to low renal perfusion kidneys renin, RAAS
secrete ________ which will activate _________

ADH is released in reponse to hypertonicity of plasma

ADH increased reabsorption of _______ and h20 and vasoconstriction
potent ________

aldosterone retain _____ in exchange for na+ in exchnage for k+ loss
________

aldosterone is reguated by___________ and angiotension II and potassium
____________

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide secreted from atria in reponse to high blood volume this also increases GFR
_________ in response to _________ and this
increases

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide decreases Decrease Na+ reabsorption & inhibits renin secretion
____________ and inhibits _______________

• Normal GFR
• Water regulated
When Kidneys Function we see (4)
• Fluid, electrolyte, and pH balance regulated
• Nitrogenous compounds excreted

• Decreased GFR
• Less waste is removed; more waste remains in blood
When Kidneys fail we see (4)
• Unable to regulate fluid, electrolyte, and pH balance
• Nitrogenous compounds build up in the blood
