Physiology (11th edition) Chapter 18
(Test Bank)
Functional and Historical units of the kidney - CORRECT ANSWERS-Bowman's
capsule, proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule
Nephron - CORRECT ANSWERS-the functional units of the kidney
Filtrate - CORRECT ANSWERS-water small molecules, ions that can passthrough
membrane
Renal fraction - CORRECT ANSWERS-part of total cardiac output that passes through
kidneys; varies from 12-30%, averages 21% each minute
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) - CORRECT ANSWERS-amount of filtrate produced
each minute
Loops of Henle and vasa recta - CORRECT ANSWERS-function together to maintain a
high concentration of solutes in the interstitial fluids of the medulla and to carry away the
water and solutes that enter the medulla from the loops of Henle and collecting ducts
Ureters - CORRECT ANSWERS-bring urine from renal pelvis to urinary bladder; lined
by transitional epithelium
Urinary bladder - CORRECT ANSWERS-hollow muscular container, in pelvic cavity
posterior to symphysis pubis; lined with transitional epithelium; muscle wall is detrusor
Trigone - CORRECT ANSWERS-interior of urinary bladder, triangular area between
ureter entry and urethral exit, which expands less than rest of bladder during filling
Peristalsis - CORRECT ANSWERS-moves urine through ureters from region of renal
pelvis to urinary bladder
Intracellular fluid (ICF) compartment - CORRECT ANSWERS-All fluids inside cells of
body and about 40% of total body weight
Extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment - CORRECT ANSWERS-All fluids outside cells,
About 20% of total body weight, Sub compartments, Interstitial fluid and plasma
Acidosis - CORRECT ANSWERS-pH of body fluids <7.35
