Exam 18: Urinary System and Fluid Balance

The first structure in the kidney to collect newly formed urine is the

The urinary system consists of two kidneys, one ureter, one urinary bladder, and two urethrae.

The kidneys help to regulate the pH of body fluids by controlling the

Which is not a function of the urinary system?

The ____________ fluid compartment of the body consists of all of the fluid inside the cells, while the ______________ fluid compartment consists of fluid outside the cells, such as interstitial fluid and plasma.

The kidneys lie on the posterior abdominal wall, within the peritoneum.

Hypoalbunemia would cause

An increase in blood CO₂ levels is followed by a(n) ____ in H⁺ ions and a(n) ____ in blood pH.

The renal corpuscle consists of the Bowman's capsule and the pertibular capillaries.

Potassium levels in the body are regulated by

Aldosterone causes an increase in Na+ and Cl^- _________________from the nephrons which _________ the volume of urine output.

The movement of water and electrolytes between fluid compartments is regulated primarily by

This distal convoluted tubule is the primary site for the reabsorption of solutes and water.

Place the regions of the nephron in the correct order for the process of urine formation. a: Capsular space of glomerulus B: Loop of Henle C: Collecting duct D: Distal convoluted tubule E: Proximal convoluted tubule

Na⁺ reabsorption is a(n) __________ process, while Cl^- reabsoprtion is a(n) __________ process.

Arrange the following structures in correct sequence: (1) ureter (2) renal pelvis (3) calyx (4) urinary bladder (5) urethra

Where is the micturition reflex initiated ?

An internal urinary sphincter can only be found in males.

Dilation of the afferent arteriole would increase glomerular pressure.

By the time the filtrate reaches the tip of the renal pyramid, the concentration of the filtrate is higher than the concentration of the interstitial fluid.
