Question
Answer
Kidney Functions   show
🗑
Renin   show
🗑
Erythropoietin   show
🗑
Vascular Resistance in Microcirculation   show
🗑
Mechanisms of Urine Formation   show
🗑
show Returns all glucose and amino acids, 99% of water, salt, and other components to the blood  
🗑
Tubular Secretion   show
🗑
show Passive process driven by hydrostatic pressure Molecules >5 nm are not filtered (e.g., plasma proteins) and function to maintain colloid osmotic pressure of the blood  
🗑
show -Its filtration membrane is very permeable and it has a large surface area - Glomerular blood pressure is higher (55 mm Hg) than other capillaries  
🗑
show The pressure responsible for filtrate formation (10 mm Hg)  
🗑
Net Filtration Equation   show
🗑
show Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (HPg) the chief force Two opposing forces: Colloid osmotic pressure of glomerular blood (OPg) Capsular pressure (HPc)  
🗑
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)   show
🗑
show - Total surface area available for filtration - Filtration membrane permeability - NFP  
🗑
GFR mechanisms   show
🗑
show Act locally within the kidney Maintains a nearly constant GFR Two types of renal autoregulation - myogenic mechanism - Tubuloglomerylar feedback mechanism, which senses changes in the juxtaglomerular apparatus  
🗑
show Nervous and endocrine mechanisms that maintain blood pressure, but affect kidney function  
🗑
Myogenic Mechanism   show
🗑
show transcellular paracellular  
🗑
transcellular route (tubular reabsorption)   show
🗑
paracellular route (tubular reabsorption)   show
🗑
What gets reabsorbed in tubular reabsoption   show
🗑
urinary bladder function   show
🗑
show - transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder  
🗑
show - transports urine from the bladder out of the body  
🗑
kidney anatomy   show
🗑
show - renal fascia - perirenal fat capsule - fibrous capsule  
🗑
Renal fascia   show
🗑
Perirenal fat capsule   show
🗑
show - Prevents spread of infection to kidney  
🗑
show - A granular superficial region  
🗑
show - The cone-shaped medullary (renal) pyramids separated by renal columns  
🗑
Lobe   show
🗑
Papillary   show
🗑
show - The funnel-shaped tube within the renal sinus  
🗑
show - renal cortex - renal medulla - renal pelvis  
🗑
show - granular-appearing superficial region  
🗑
show - medullary renal pyramids: cone shaped - pyramids separated by renal columns (made of cortical tissue) - Lobe: medullary pyramid and its surrounding cortical tissue; about eight lobes per kidney  
🗑
Renal pelvis   show
🗑
Flow of urine   show
🗑
Blood and Nerve supply   show
🗑
Nephrons   show
🗑
Glomerular capsule   show
🗑
show - single layer of epithelial cells - Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) - Proximal, closest to renal corpuscle - Nephron loop - ascending and descending loops - Distal convoluted tubule (DCT) - Distal, farthest from renal corpuscl  
🗑
show - Cuboidal cells - Functions in reabsorption and secretion - Confined to the cortex  
🗑
Loop of Henle histology   show
🗑
show - Cuboidal cells with very few microvilli - Function more in secretion than reabsorption - Confined to the cortex  
🗑
Collecting ducts   show
🗑
intercalated cells   show
🗑
show - Cuboidal cells without microvilli - Help maintain the body’s water and salt balance  
🗑
types of nephrons   show
🗑
show - 85% of nephrons; almost entirely in the cortex  
🗑
show - Long loops of Henle deeply invade the medulla - Extensive thin segments - Important in the production of concentrated urine  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
