Urinary system

Potassium

An increase in the concentration of which idk would directly stimulate the release of aldosterone to promote its reabsorption

antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

An increase in which hormone would lead to an include in water reabsorption in the kidneys

increase

If there is an increase in blood pressure what will the glomerular filtration rate likely do

distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct

In which part of the nephron does fine tuning of salt and water balance occur influenced by aldosterone and ADH

bottom of loop of henle

In which part of the nephron is the filtrate most hypotonic

collecting duct

The connecting tubule of the nephron primarily connects to which structure

Water glucose and small solutes

The glomerular filtrate primarily consist of

glomerular filtration

The initial step in urine formation is

Collection of urine

The primary function of the renal pyramids

Secretion

The process of ? removes waste products from the blood and adds to the filtrate

efferent arteriole

The renal artery supplies blood to the kidneys. After passing through the glomerulus , where does the blood flow next?

renal pyramids

The renal columns are found between which structures

cortex

The renal columns are part of which region of the kidney

Deoxygenated blood away from the kidney

The renal vein primarily Carrie's

all of the above

The thick ascending limb actively reabsorbs which of the following ions : chloride, potassium , sodium , all of the above

Aldosterone

What hormone stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb more sodium ions when blood pressure is low

secretion of substances into the filtrate

What is the primary function of the distal convoluted tubule in the nephron

Collect and funnel urine towards the renal pelvis

What role do the minor and major calyces play in urine transport

Reabsorb more bicarbonate

When blood ph becomes too acidic how to the kidneys compensate

Erythropoietin (EPO)

When there's a decrease in blood volume the kidneys can stimulate the production of red blood cells by releasing

proximal tubule

Where does the most reabsorption of solutes and water occur in the nephron

glomerulus

Where does the process of filtration primarily occur within the nephron

antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

Which hormone promotes the reabsorption of water in the collecting ducts of the nephron

digestion of proteins

Which of the following is not a primary function of the kidney

Excretion

Which process directly leads to the elimination of urine from the body

thick ascending limb

Which section of the nephron is impermeable to water and allowing only for solute reabsorption

ureter

Which structure carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder

Urethra

Which structure connects the bladder to the external body allowing for urine excretion

minor calyces

Which structure connects the renal pelvis to the major calyces

Bladder

Which structure in the urinary system is responsible for storing urine until it's excreted from the body

collecting duct

Which structure is responsible for regulating the final concentration and volume of urine

Loop of Henle

Which structure of the nephron primary focuses on conserving water

nephron

Which structure serves as the functional unit of the kidney

reabsorption

Within the kidney the process of ? helps to maintain blood pressure and volume by adjusting the amount of filtrate that becomes urine

concentration of urine

what is the primary function of the loop of Henle in the nephron
