Dissection

Dissection is the process of cutting up the tissue of a dead or live animal or plant, to do anatomical studies and surgical treatments. The purpose of dissection is to learn more about the overall structure of organs and organ systems and thereby understand the physiology of the organism.

The macula densa is/are: present in the renal medulla dense tissue present in the outer layer of the kidney cells present in the DCT and collecting tubules present in blood capillaries.
Which of the following correctly describes a part of kidney function? a. Collecting ducts dilute urine because they are permeable tosalt but not water. b. In the ascending loop of Henle, Na1 and Cl2 move into thetubules because the osmolarity of the filtrate is increased. c. The descending loop of Henle receives filtrate from theascending loop. d. The distal convoluted tubule pumps water into the tubule byactive transport. e. The renal pelvis receives urine from the collecting ducts andcarries it to the ureters.
Kidneys return most of the water and small solutes back to blood by way of ___ . a. glomerular filtration b. tubular reabsorption c. tubular secretion d. both a and b
The color of urine is determined mainly by ________. diet filtration rate byproducts of red blood cell breakdown filtration efficiency
Which of the following does not contribute to the process of filtration? (a) active transport by epithelial cells lining renal tubules (b) large surface area for filtration (c) low permeability of glomerular capillaries (d) high hydrostatic blood pressure in glomerular capillaries (e) podocytes
Match each .structure with a function. _____ ureter a. start of nephron _____ Bowmans capsule b. delivers urine to body surface _____ urethra c. carries urine from kidney to bladder _____ collecting tubules d. secretes ADH _____ glomerulus e. target to aldosterone _____ pituitary gland f. cluster of leaky capillaries
Figure 41.8 Loop diuretics are drugs sometimes used to treat hypertension. These drugs inhibit the reabsorption of Na+ and Cl- ions by the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. A side effect is that they increase urination. Why do you think this is the case?
Blood pressure forces water and small solutes into Bowman's capsule during ___ . a. glomerular filtration b. tubular reabsorption c. tubular secretion d. both a and c
3. In order to maintain homeostasis (body water volume, plasma Na*) it is important to regulate Na* and water balance. First, identify the regions of the nephron that are permeable to Na* and H20. Second, tie together the epithelial transport mechanisms for Na* and H20 reabsorption and an idea of the magnitude of reabsorption from each nephron region. Hint: refer to the figure at the end of the Renal Processes lecture to help with context. 4. Review how urine is concentrated throughout the nephron (and the role of Na*, urea).
4. Given the net glomerular filtration pressure of 55 mm Hg, a plasma protein osmotic force (TTGC) = 12 mm Hg, and a fluid pressure in Bowman's space (PBS) = 10 mm Hg, what would be glomerular capillary blood pressure (PGC)? Would filtration be favored under these conditions? How do you know?
