Urinary System-1

Functions of Urinary System?

location of glomerulus?

where are the majority of nephrons located?

where are the most selective pores in the filtration membrane located?

how does the urinary system regulate blood volume and pressure?

If the renal medulla is damaged what would be interrupted first?

if the glomerulus is obstructed what is affected?

what structure produces urine?

in order for a substance to pass through filtration membrane what size must it be?

if the substance is larger then albumin can it pass through filtration membrane?

What is net glomerular filtration pressure?
If you measure function of nephron and get:
1) glomerular pressure 69 mm HG
2) capsular space is 15 mm HG.
3) plasma osmotic pressure 30 mm HG
and no plasma protien filtered by glomerulus

what happens to sodium and chloride ions in loop of Henle?

what is required to maintain solute concentration gradient in renal medulla?

what is result of sympathetic stimulation of kidney?

what carries urine to urinary bladder from kidneys?

which is GREATER?
concentration of solute in the filtrate at beginning of loop of Henle or at bottom of descending limb of loop of Henle?

what does antidiuretic hormone do in relation to water and collecting duct?

what is responsible for process of filtration?

if a high specific gravity of urine, what color will urine be?

organs part of urinary system?

if there is a reduction of blood flow to kidney, what will happen?

The ability to form concentrated urine depends on what structure functioning?

if plasma osmolarity is high then what happens to permeability relationship of water and collecting ducts?

Kidney location

Is the glomerular hydrostatic pressure significantly lower than the pressure in the rest of the systemic circuit?

What transport is involved in tubular reabsorption?

The fluid in Bowman's capsule is similar to plasma except for what?

Define hilus location?

What is the prominent indentation on medial surface of kidney?

If hydrostatic pressure is increased above norm, what happens?

what makes up the renal corpuscle?

What process reabsorbs HIGH concentrations of glucose and amino acid high in filtrate?

what is the renal sinus?

nephron

structural differences between urethra of male and female?

what process reabsorbs LOW concentration of glucose adn amino acids in filtrate?

what is the outermost layer of kidney tissue?

list nephron regions in correct order of fluid flow?

what is the role of "countercurrent multiplication" in kidney?

list vessels in correct order of blood flow?

innermost layer of kidney tissue?

what is contained in glomerular filtrate?
