  • Renal calculi could result from
    dehydration
  • Located between the proximal and distal tubules is the
    loop of Henle
  • process of urine formation are nutrients, ions, and water returned to the body
    tubular reabsorption
  • removes metabolic waste products from the blood
    kidneys
  • what combines with water and ions to form urine
    metabolic wastes
  • The __________ contains the renal artery, renal vein, and ureter
    hilum
  • Urea and uric acid are products of the breakdown of
    proteins
  • expansion of the ureter inside the kidneys is the
    renal pelvis
  • group of capillaries that forms the renal corpuscle is called the
    glomerulus
  • During __________, the hormone ADH controls the amount of water the body keeps
    tubular reabsorption
  • tiny vessels that surround the tubules
    peritubular capillaries
  • hormone that helps to regulate red blood cell production
    erythropoietin
  • what describes acute renal failure
    can result from poisons and/or alcohol abuse
  • middle portion of the kidneys
    renal medulla
  • drugs, ions, and waste products are moved during the __________ process of urine formation and are eliminated in urine
    tubular secretion
  • urinary system structure takes urine away from the bladder
    urethra
  • How does pyelonephritis begin
    with a bladder infection
  • You would anticipate that a patient who has had __________ may develop cystitis
    an indwelling urinary catheter
  • name for the hormone that regulates blood pressure
    renin
  • 10- to 12-inch muscular tubes that carry urine to the bladder called
    ureters
  • detrusor muscle is part of the
    bladder
  • process of urine formation decreases when the blood pressure decreases, and increases when the blood pressure increases
    glomerular filtration
