1. what are the component of the renal fascia?: adipose tissue with a double layer
of connective tissue over that.
2. what is renal ptosis?: condition in which one or both kidneys drop to a lower
position that can cause kinking of the ureter and the renal vessels
Most common when large amounts of weight is lost.
3. what is the helium?: where the renal vessels and the ureter exit
located in the concave part of the kidney's bean shape.
4. What does the nephron do?: filters plasma, retaining water and concentrating
urine.
reabsorbs key substances, and secretes unneeded substances
helps form protein free fluid.
fluid volume, electrolyte balance and pH
5. what part of the nephron is the least extended into the medulla?: cortical
nephron
6. what part of the nephrons extend the furthest and tries to concentrate the
most urine and preserve water??: juxtamedullary nephrons
7. what is are the nephrons made up of?: cortical, midcorticol, juxtamedullary
nephrons
8. what is makes up the renal corpuscle?: the glomerulus, the bowman capsule,
and the mesangial cells.
9. What are mesangial cells?: They secrete matrix and lie between and
support the glomerular capillaries (connective tissues cells). Some contract similar
to smooth muscle cells to regulate glomerular capillary blood flow.
part immune cell: they have phagocytic properties and release inflammatory cy-
tokines and growth factors.
and signal as to what gets filtered and how fast the rate of renal blood flow.
10. What does the Bowman's capsule do?: helps to contain and capture any fluid
that leaks out of the glomerulus
11. What is the glomerulus?: ball of capillaries, that filters fluid out of the capillary.
12. what are principle cells and where are they found?: found in distal tubule and
reabsorb sodium and secretes potassium (Works with aldosterone)
13. what are intercalated cells?: secrete H+ and reabsorb K and HCO3

, (involved in acid base)
14. What do juxtaglomerular cells do?: release renin
have the ability to constrict the glomerular capillaries when needed by sensing
pressure in the afferent tubules.
