Kidney Anatomy Quiz

Medial indentation of a kidney called?

encloses each kidney and gives it a glistening appearance

a fatty mass surrounds each kidney and caution it against blows

the most superficial layer made of dense fibrous connective tissue anchors the kidney and adrenal gland to surrounding structures

a condition when the fatty mass of the kidney dwindles and the kidneys drop to a lower position

the ureter kinks and the urine can no longer pass through the ureters backs up and exerts pressure on the kidney tissue this condition called

the pyramids are separated by extensions of cortex like tissue called

the medulla has triangular regions with a striped appearance called the

Region a kidney which is a darker reddish brown area

the outer region of a kidney which is light in color

lateral to the helum is a flat funnel shaped tube and is continuous with the ureter leaving the helum

it collects the urine which continuously drains from the tips of the pyramid into the renal pelvis

the extensions of the pelvis is a singular form cup shaped drains that enclose the tips of the pyramid

are the structural and functional units of the kidneys and are responsible for forming urine

not of capillaries and a cup shaped hollow structure that completely surround the glomerulus like a well worn based glove enclose a ball

each of which receives urine from many nephrons round downward through the medullary pyramid giving the pyramid a striped appearance

specialized for filtration differs from any other capillary bed in the entire body because it is both fed and drained by arteries

what is the two capillary beds that is associated with nephron

this capillaries are low pressure pores vessels adapted for absorption instead of filtration and drains into the cortical ready veins art with veins and ultimately into the interlobular

Urine formation is a result of three process?

is a non-selective passive process in which fluid passes from the blood into the glomerular capsule part of the renal tubule

an abnormally low urinary output is called when it is between 100 and 400 ml per day

an abnormally low urinary output is called if it is less than 100 ml per day

water glucose amino acids are needed ions are transported out of the filtrate into the tubule cells and then enter the capillary bed

hydrogen and potassium creatinine and drugs are removed from the peritubular blood and secreted by the tubule cells into the filtrate

what are the common nitrogenous waste

formed by the liver as an end product of protein breakdown when amino acids are used to produce energy

release when nucleic acids are metabolized

associated with Creatine metabolism in muscle tissue

is the act of emptying the bladder

is the driving force for water intake

our system of one or two molecules that act to prevent dramatic change in the hydrogen ion concentration when acid or bases are added

eliminates carbon dioxide from the blood while it loads oxygen into the blood

the need to get up during the night to urinate

frequent voiding of small amounts of urine

a feeling that it is necessary to void

a cup shape hollow structure that completely surrounds the glomerulus like a well worn baseball gloves encloses a ball

the normal yellow color of urine is due to it is a pigment that results from the body's destruction of hemoglobin

the smooth triangular region of the bladder base outlined by the three openings is called

fluids that includes all body fluids located outside the cells

fluid that is contained within the living cells
