- Q1abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomenAscites30s
- Q2chemical or chemical system that minimizes changes in pH by releasing or binding to hydrogen ionsChemical buffer system30s
- Q3fluid outside the cells; includes intravascular and interstitial fluidsExtracellular fluid (ECF)30s
- Q4The first step in urine formation in which substances in blood pass through the filtration membrane and the filtrate enters the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron.Glomerular filtration30s
- Q5A ball of capillaries surrounded by Bowman's capsule in the nephron and serving as the site of filtration in the vertebrate kidney.Glomerulus30s
- Q6inability to control bladder and/or bowelsIncontinence30s
- Q7fluid within the cell; synonym for cellular fluidIntracellular fluid (ICF)30s
- Q8The cells of the distal tubule at the juxtaglomerular apparatus. They are receptors that monitor filtrate osmolarity as a means of regulatin filtration rate. If a drop is osmolarity is sensed, the macula densa dilates the afferent arteriole (to increase the blood pressure in the glomerulus and thus increase filtration) and stimulates the juxtaglomerular cells to secrete renin (to raise systemic blood pressure).Macula densa30s
- Q9process of urinationMicturition30s
- Q10structural and functional unit of the kidneyNephron30s
- Q11buffers pH of ICF and urinePhosphate buffer system30s
- Q12chemicals used by body to prevent large changes in the pH of a body fluid during biological processesPhysiological buffer system30s
- Q13These cells form a porous membrane surrounding the endothelial cells of the glomerulus.Podocytes30s
- Q14acts inside & outside the cell; binds with acids & bases to neutralize themProtein buffer system30s
- Q15system of hormones that regulates blood pressure and fluid balanceRenin-angiotensin system30s
