AP Workbook Chapter 18 Urinary

a renal corpuscle consists of

a glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule

the kidneys are located behind the

peritoneum

found at the hilus of the kidney

renal artery

ureter

renal vein

the cavity within the kidney that collects urine is the

renal pelvis

the renal vein takes blood from the kidney to the

inferior vena cava

parts of renal tubule

loop of henle

proximal convoluted tubule

distal convoluted tubule

if body fluids are becoming to acidic, the kidneys will excrete more of these ions in urine

H+

hormone tht directly increases the reabsorption of water by the kidneys is

ADH

process of glomerular filtration takes place from the

glomerulus to Bowman’s capsule

the process of tubular reabsorption takes place from the

renal tubule to peritubular capillaries

The renal pyramids makes up the

renal medulla

The renal filtrate differs from blood plasma in this way

there are no blood cells in filtrate

When the blood levels of oxygen decreases, the kidneys secrete

erythropoietin

When blood pressure decreases, the kidneys secrete

renin

The part of the urinary bladder that actually eliminates the urine is the

detrusor muscle

voluntary control of urination is provided by

external urethral sphincter

in tubular reabsorption, glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed by the process of

active transport

glomerular filtration rate will decrease if

blood flow through the kidneys decreases

urea is a nitrogenous waste product that comes from the metabolism of

amino acids

noraml values for daily urinary output and pH of urine might be

1.5L/6.0

Urine is propelled through a ureter by

smooth muscle

The kidneys are protected from mechanical injury by the

rib cage and adipose tissue

If bodily fluids are becoming to alkaline, the kidneys will excrete more of these ions

HCO3 bicarbonate

the muscle

Creatinine is a nitrogenous waste product that comes from energy metabolism in

Atrial Natriuretic peptide (ANP) is produced by _____ and causes the kidneys to excrete ______

heart and sodium ions
