[q]

Tubular Reabsorption – define[a]This process reabsorbs all nutrients, 99% of the plasma, and electrolytes.

[q]

Renin – effect[a]This kidney hormone triggers the renin-angiotensin pathway.

[q]

Aldosterone – effect[a]This homone causes increased Na+ reabsorption which leads to filtrate reabsorption. Less Urine. More blood conservation.

[q]

What triggers renin release?[a]This hormone is triggered by the kidney in response to low blood pressure.

[q]

Renin – function in the blood[a]This hormone turns angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1.

[q]

Angiotensin II- function[a]This hormone is a vasoconstrictor and trigger for Aldaosterone release.

[q]

ADH, PTH Aldosterone – common target[a]These hormones act on the nephron.

[q]

Urine – define[a]This substance is the remains of the filtrate when it leaves the distal convoluted tubule.

[q]

Micturation – define[a] urination.

[q]

Ureter – function[a]This structure drains urine from kidney to bladder.

[q]

Ureter & Urethra – structure[a]a tube with an internal lining of mucous membrane, a smooth muscle layer, and an outer layer of CT.

[q]

Urethra – function[a] drains urine from bladder.

[q]

Bladder – define[a]This structure is an expandable muscular bag lined with transitional epithelium.

[q]

Polydipsia – define[a] excessive thirst.

[q]

Polyuria – define[a] excessive urination.

[q]

Glucosuria – define[a] glucose in urine.

[q]

Diabetes mellitus – define[a]This term describes a disease where high BGL’s cause failure of osmosis resulting in polydipsia, polyuria and glucosuria.
