8. Erythropoietin (EPO) - ANSWER ✔ hormone secreted by the kidney to
stimulate the production of red blood cells by bone marrow
,9. filtration - ANSWER ✔ A process that separates materials based on the size
of their particles.
10.glomerular capsule - ANSWER ✔ enclosing structure surrounding each
glomerulus
11.hilum - ANSWER ✔ depression in an organ where blood vessels and nerves
enter and leave
12.nephr/o - ANSWER ✔ kidney
13.ren/o - ANSWER ✔ kidney
14.trigon/o - ANSWER ✔ trigone (region of the bladder)
15.vesic/o - ANSWER ✔ urinary bladder
16.albumin/o - ANSWER ✔ albumin (a protein in the blood)

19.CKD - ANSWER ✔ chronic kidney disease
,20.Cl- - ANSWER ✔ chloride (electrolyte excreted by kidney)
21.CrCl - ANSWER ✔ creatine clearance
22.CRF - ANSWER ✔ chronic renal failure
23.C&S - ANSWER ✔ culture and sensitivity testing
24.cysto - ANSWER ✔ cystoscopic examination
25.Nitrogenous wastes in urine - ANSWER ✔ urea, uric acid, creatinine
26.Functions of the Kidney - ANSWER ✔ -Filter wastes to form urine; about
200 quarts of blood are filtered every day to form 2 quarts of urine
-Maintain proper balance of water, electrolytes (sodium, potassium), and
acids
27.Hormones of the Kidney - ANSWER ✔ erythropoietin and renin
28.How does the kidney produce urine? - ANSWER ✔ Blood enters the kidney
through the left and right renal arteries
29.What filters blood? - ANSWER ✔ Glomerulus, this occurs by the blood
Plasma passing through
, 30.Afferent vs Efferent arteriole - ANSWER ✔ afferent arteriole brings blood
to the glomerulus and the efferent arteriole takes blood away from the
glomerulus.
31.Bowman's capsule - ANSWER ✔ cup-shaped strucutre of the nephron
which encloses the glomerulus and which filtration takes place.
32.Four steps of urine production - ANSWER ✔ 1. Glomerular Filtration
2. Tubular Reabsorption
3. Tubular Secretion
4. Water Reabsorption
33.nephron - ANSWER ✔ Glomerulus and the renal tubule form a nephron.
There are 1.2 million in each kidney.
34.Parts of the nephron - ANSWER ✔
35.parenchyma - ANSWER ✔ functional part of an organ
36.calyces - ANSWER ✔ cup-like structures that funnel urine towards the renal
pelvis
37.renal calices - ANSWER ✔ Part of collecting system that encompasses apex
of renal pyramids
38.How does the kidney produce urine - ANSWER ✔ By filtration of the blood
and selective reabsorption of useful substances such as glucose, some ions
and water
