The outer most portion of the kidney is called this
What is the cortex?
Of the medulla, pelvis and cortex, this part is the largest
What is the medulla? ( inner 2/3)
This body part helps to transport nutrients into the kidney
What is the renal vein?
Many of the loop of Henle are located in this part of the kidney
What is the medulla?
Most of the glomerulus's are found in this part of the kidney
What is the cortex?
This section of the nephron precedes the loop of henle
What is the proximal convoluted tubule?
Amino acids and glucose leave the nephron and return to the blood in this section
What is the proximal convoluted tubule?
Filtrate will exit the nephrons and enter these
What are the collecting ducts?
Most of process of osmosis occurs in this part
What is the proximal convoluted tubule?
Each kidney has this many nephrons
What is 1 million?
Females have a shorter urethra and are more prone to these
What are bladder infections?
Patients have to take insulin injections if they have this type of diabetes
What is type one?
IN diabetes mellitus, glucose does not return to the blood stream and exits the body bringing water with it. As a result of this the person will feel this way
What is thirsty?
If the person has low blood sugar levels they are considered to have this medical condition
What is hypoglycemia ?
Type II diabetes is also known as this
What is noninsulin-dependent diabetes?
Salts, excess water and urea make this
What is urine?
When more ADH is present ______(more or less) water is reabsorbed and the amount of urine changes
What is more?
Most of the NaCl present in the filtrate is absorbed across the wall of this
What is the proximal convoluted tubule?
Along with the descending limb this area also reabsorbs water
What are the collecting ducts?
This hormone promotes the absorption of sodium ( Na + )
What is Aldosterone?
This type of molecule does not cross into Bowman’s capsule because it is too large
What are proteins?
In mammals and land amphibians this is the main nitrogen waste
What is urea?
These ions are actively pumped into the capillaries in the ascending loop and distal convoluted tubule
What are sodium ions ? ( Salt)
This part of the nephron will have an increasing solute concentration in the medulla
What is the ascending limb of the loop of Henle?
This hormone is released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland and helps with the absorption of water
What is antidiuretic hormone ( ADH) ?
