-Kidneys are responsible for removal of metabolic waste and other
elements from the blood in the form of urine.
⩥ function of the kidneys. Answer: regulate the volume and composition
of ECF and excrete waste products (such as byproducts of drugs, excess
minerals, vitamins and electrolytes) from the body. They also function to
-control BP
-activate vit D
-Regulate acid base balance
⩥ how do the kidneys control BP. Answer: Renin is produced and
secreted by kidneys. Renin is released in response to decreased renal
perfusion, decreased arterial BP, decreased ECF, Decreased serum Na
concentration and increased urinary Na concentration
-produce erythropoietin
⩥ erythropoietin. Answer: - a hormone produced in the kidneys and
secreted in response to hypoxia and decreased renal blood flow. It
stimulates RBC production in the bone marrow. Erythropoietin
deficiency occurs with kidney failure and leads to anemia.
⩥ parts of a nephron. Answer: 1. blood vessels
, 2. renal tubules
⩥ function of the nephron. Answer: filtration and collection.
⩥ Formation of urine occurs through. Answer: Glomerular filtration
Tubular reabsorption
Tubular secretion
⩥ Glomerular filtration represents the beginning of. Answer: urine
formation
⩥ glomerular filtration. Answer: substances in blood pass through the
filtration membrane and the filtrate enters the proximal convoluted
tubule of the nephron.
⩥ tubular reabsorption. Answer: process of reclaiming water,
electrolytes, and other necessary elements from the tubular fluid and
returning them to the blood
⩥ tubular secretion. Answer: selectively moves substances from blood to
filtrate in renal tubules and collecting ducts
