1. renal relating to the kidneys
2. to make urine What is the most obvious function of the
kidney ?
3. water concentration and the fluid volume what do Kidneys regulate?
4. 1. urea, uric acid, creatinine and bilirubin 1. what do kidneys excrete?
2. glucose 2. what do kidneys synthesize?
3. Erythropoietin, • 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin 3. what do kidneys secrete?
D, and Renin
5. the synthesis of new RBCs what is Erythropoietin required for?
6. renin an enzyme that balances the Na+ and K+ ion
composition.
7. 40% in the intracellular fluid, and 20% is how is our body water distributed?
spread out between the interstitial fluid
and plasma. this makes the total 60%
8. extracellular fluid compartment what fluid compartment does plasma be-
long to?
9. Severe diarrhea and being in a dry envi- what can cause a lot of fluid loss in our body?
ronment
10. plasma + interstitial fluid + cerebrospinal what is the ECF made of?
fluid
11. Plasma Liquid part of blood

there is more Na+ in the extracellular flu- what is the Ionic composition of body fluid
id, more K+ in the intracellular fluid, and compartments?
more protein in the intracellular fluid
13. Na/K ATPase pump key protein that helps maintain the distrib-
ution of Na+ and K+ in the cell membrane
14. Aquaporins cells that allow for movement of water
15. Osmolarity measure of total concentration of solute
particles
16. Diffusion Movement of molecules from an area of
higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration.
17. diffusional equilibrium an equal concentration of molecules on
both sides of the membrane.
18. Osmosis Diffusion of water through a selectively per-
meable membrane
19. osmotic pressure The pressure necessary to prevent solvent
movement
