Exam 18: Urinary System and Fluid Balance

The mechanism for maintaining the solute concentration gradient in the medulla require(s)

Normally,the colloid osmotic pressure produced by the concentration of blood proteins moves fluid from the ________ to the __________ by ____________.

The connective tissue covering of the kidney is the

-Letter F is (are)the

The renal corpuscle consists of

Given these blood vessels in the kidney: 1)afferent arteriole 2)arcuate artery 3)interlobar artery 4)interlobular artery Which of these sequences represents the correct pathway a red blood cell would follow as it moved from the renal artery to the glomerulus?

Given these parts of the nephron: 1)collecting duct 2)distal convoluted tubule 3)loop of Henle 4)renal corpuscle Which of these sequences represents the correct order through which filtrate would move in the nephron during urine formation?

Severe vomiting or excess aldosterone production could result in

The functional unit of the kidney is called

In the proximal convoluted tubule,K⁺ ions are _________ while in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct,K⁺ ions are _________.

All of these are processes critical to the formation of urine EXCEPT:

If the level of ADH is very low,in which of the following areas of the nephron is the filtrate the LEAST concentrated?

In which of the following areas of the nephron is the filtrate the LEAST concentrated assuming high levels of ADH are present?

The inner layer of Bowman's capsule consists of specialized cells called

As filtrate passes through the descending limb of the loop of Henle,water passes _____ the nephron and some solutes pass _____ the nephron.

A specialized structure,called the _____ is formed where the distal convoluted tubule projects between the afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole of a nephron.

________________ increases the ability of the kidneys to produce a concentrated urine.

Small tubes that carry urine from the renal pelvis to the bladder are called

Which of the following is incorrectly paired with its result?

____________ is the major force responsible for causing fluid to move from the glomerular capillary across the filtration membrane into the Bowman's capsule.
