PASS
Regulation of blood volume, osmolarity, & composition
Regulation of BP, pH, & blood glucose levels
Hormone production
Waste & foreign substance excretion
Urine transport (ureter), storage (bladder), & release (urethra) - CORRECT
ANSWER-Function of Kidney, ureters, bladder, & urethra
Renal A., Segmental A., Interlobular A., Arcuate A., Cortical Radiate A., Afferent
A., Glomerular capillaries, efferent arterioles, peritubular capillaries, peritubular
venules, Cortical Radiate veins, Arcuate veins, Interlobular veins, Renal veins -
CORRECT ANSWER-blood flow of kidney
Renal Nerves - CORRECT ANSWER-innervate kidneys and ureters
regulate blood flow
, sympathetic
Nephrons - CORRECT ANSWER-filtering units of the kidney that remove wastes
from the blood and produce urine
in the millions
has renal corpuscle and renal tubule
renal corpuscle - CORRECT ANSWER-has glomerulus and bowman's capsule
glomerulus - CORRECT ANSWER-A ball of capillaries surrounded by Bowman's
capsule in the nephron and serving as the site of filtration in the vertebrate kidney.
fed by afferent arterioles (wider) and drained by efferent arterioles
bowman's capsule - CORRECT ANSWER-cup-shaped structure of the nephron
of a kidney which encloses the glomerulus.
visceral layer- podocytes that wrap around the glomerulus
parietal layer- forms the space around visceral layer
filtrate is collected between these layers
mesangial cells - CORRECT ANSWER-contractile cells that help regulate
glomerular filtration
glomerular endothelial cells - CORRECT ANSWER-have large fenestrations
through which solutes pass
Basal lamina - CORRECT ANSWER-lies between endothelium and podocytes
