HCAL Exam 2 UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
metabolic waste - CORRECT ANSWER creatine and BUN



main functional unit of kidneys is - CORRECT ANSWER nephron



over 1 million



nephron has - CORRECT ANSWER blood vessels and renal rubules



formation of urine - CORRECT ANSWER 1. glomerular filtration

2. tubular reabsorption

3. tubular secretion



blood enters the kidney through - CORRECT ANSWER the renal artery, which
branches into smaller arteries, arterioles, and then to a cluster of capillaries (gomerulus)



glomerulus - CORRECT ANSWER semipermeable membrane that serves to filter
blood into a c shaped structure of the renal tubule (bowman capsule)



glomerular filtration - CORRECT ANSWER blood through semiperm membrane.
Filter



filtrate contains - CORRECT ANSWER water, electrolytes, and waste that have been
removed from blood



filtrate passes through - CORRECT ANSWER sequence of renal tubules

,Bowman capsule to proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, and distal convoluted tubule.



tubular reaborption - CORRECT ANSWER network of capillaries surrounding the
renal tubules reabsorb most of the water, electrolytes, and other elements back into blood



tubular secretion - CORRECT ANSWER involves a secondary process for small
amounts of select substances


Filter K, H, ammonia, and drugs to be moved from the blood in capillaries surrounding the
tubules into the tubules


amount of water and electrolytes reabsorbed into the blood or excreted in renal tubules is
controlled by.... - CORRECT ANSWER hormones

-aldosterone

-antidiuretic

-parathyroid

-renin

-atrial natriuretic



urine formed in renal tubules moves into - CORRECT ANSWER collecting duct and
then into renal pelvis, ureter, and bladder. It is stored until urination



bladder holds - CORRECT ANSWER 300-500mL in adults before pressure
stimulations stretch receptors in the bladder wall. Stretch receptors send nerve impulses
through spinal cord to signal need for urination



internal sphincter - CORRECT ANSWER smooth muscle



contracts involun to precent urine from leaking out of bladder



external sphincter - CORRECT ANSWER surrounding upper part of urethra

,skeletal muscle and is voluntary



micturition reflex - CORRECT ANSWER causes internal sphincter muscles to relax
and bladder wall contraction



Accessory bowel - CORRECT ANSWER liver, gallbladder, pancreas



process of waste formation occur in - CORRECT ANSWER colon



colon - CORRECT ANSWER reaborption of water and electrolytes



moves waste

peristalsis



increased peristalsis - CORRECT ANSWER diarrhea



feces compromised of - CORRECT ANSWER water, bile, undigested food,
unabsorbed mineral, bacteria, mucous, and epithelial cells from lining of intestines



large intestine - CORRECT ANSWER 5/6 ft long and 2in diameter



cecum, colon, rectum, anus


absorb water and electrolytes as matter moves through walls



mucus in intestines - CORRECT ANSWER help lubricate the walls and aids expulsion
of stool

, elimination of stool - CORRECT ANSWER signal from pressure when stool reaches
rectum, stimulated parasympathetic nerve fibers in sacral aspect of spinal cord



Contraction of rectum with relaxtion of internal sphincter



Reflexive action: involun and volunt



loss of control - CORRECT ANSWER leads to

-skin breakdown

-changes in daily activity

-changes in social relationship



older adults changes - CORRECT ANSWER by 80- renal blood flow reduces to
600mL/min and kidneys lose up to 50% of functioning nephrons


changes in size of kidney and sclerosis.



reduces renal reserve- more susceptible to fluid and electrolytes imbalances and kidney
damage due to medication



OA bowel - CORRECT ANSWER atrophy of smooth muscle layers in colon and
reduced mucous secretions



reduced tone of internal/external sphincter, neural impulses



stress incontinence - CORRECT ANSWER when urine leaks during exercise and
certain movements that cause pressure on the bladder



urge incontinence - CORRECT ANSWER leakage of large amounts of urine at
unexpected times.
