  • Q1
    abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomen
    Ascites
    30s
  • Q2
    chemical or chemical system that minimizes changes in pH by releasing or binding to hydrogen ions
    Chemical buffer system
    30s
  • Q3
    fluid outside the cells; includes intravascular and interstitial fluids
    Extracellular fluid (ECF)
    30s
  • Q4
    The 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 filtration
    30s
  • Q5
    A ball of capillaries surrounded by Bowman's capsule in the nephron and serving as the site of filtration in the vertebrate kidney.
    Glomerulus
    30s
  • Q6
    inability to control bladder and/or bowels
    Incontinence
    30s
  • Q7
    fluid within the cell; synonym for cellular fluid
    Intracellular fluid (ICF)
    30s
  • Q8
    The 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 densa
    30s
  • Q9
    process of urination
    Micturition
    30s
  • Q10
    structural and functional unit of the kidney
    Nephron
    30s
  • Q11
    buffers pH of ICF and urine
    Phosphate buffer system
    30s
  • Q12
    chemicals used by body to prevent large changes in the pH of a body fluid during biological processes
    Physiological buffer system
    30s
  • Q13
    These cells form a porous membrane surrounding the endothelial cells of the glomerulus.
    Podocytes
    30s
  • Q14
    acts inside & outside the cell; binds with acids & bases to neutralize them
    Protein buffer system
    30s
  • Q15
    system of hormones that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance
    Renin-angiotensin system
    30s
