Exam 15: The Urinary System

What stimulates the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular (JG) apparatus?

Identify the process that occurs in the kidney. A) tubular reabsorption B) glomerular filtration C) tubular secretion -Water and solutes pass from the blood into the glomerular capsule part of the renal tubule

The portion of the renal tubule closest to the glomerulus is the ________.

Blood buffers are important in maintaining fluid-electrolyte balance.

What could be a possible cause of bile pigments in the urine?

Identify the urinary structure with its associated description: A) adrenal gland B) renal cortex C) renal pyramids or medullary pyramids D) renal columns E) calyces F) renal pelvis G) renal medulla -Outer, lighter region of the kidney

What abnormal condition results from the lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) release, causing huge amounts of very dilute urine to be voided?

The urinary bladder is able to expand as urine accumulates within it due to the presence of a specialized mucosa called ________.

The fluid stored inside cells is referred to as extracellular fluid (ECF).

The highest concentration of urea should be found in the ________.

Identify these organs of the urinary system with their associated descriptions: A) ureter B) urinary bladder C) urethra -Around 200 mL of urine activates stretch receptors and causes this organ to go into reflex contractions

Which system removes excess carbon dioxide from the blood?

Extracellular fluid (ECF) is found everywhere in the body EXCEPT ________.

Which one of the following is NOT a substance typically reabsorbed by the tubules under normal healthy conditions?

Identify the process that occurs in the kidney. A) tubular reabsorption B) glomerular filtration C) tubular secretion -As long as blood pressure is normal, filtrate will be formed

A strong acid will dissociate and liberate more ________ ions in water than a weak acid.

In a 24-hour period, how much urine is typically produced?

On average, what percentage of the adult female's body is made of water?

Identify the urinary structure with its associated description: A) adrenal gland B) renal cortex C) renal pyramids or medullary pyramids D) renal columns E) calyces F) renal pelvis G) renal medulla -Flat, basinlike cavity medial to the renal hilum of the kidney
