extra info: The correct order for filtrate flow through a nephron is
Glomerular capsule, PCT, loop of Henle
What is the correct order of filtration flow in the urinary system?
Urine is formed in the kidneys
through a filtration of blood. The urine is then passed through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored. During urination, the urine is passed from the bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body.
What is the correct pathway for filtrate?
The correct path of filtrate through a nephron starts in the renal corpuscle, which is comprised of the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule. Filtrate then
passes through the proximal convoluted tubule
, where the majority of reabsorption takes place.
What is the correct order of urine flow from the kidney during excretion?
The urinary system is comprised of the kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidney produces urine, which contains excess water, electrolytes and waste products of the body. It then
flows down the ureter into the bladder
where it is temporarily stored. The bladder is then emptied via the urethra.
What is the correct path of filtrate and urine production?
The filtrate
flows from the proximal tubule and into the Loop of Henle
. The loop of Henle concentrates the filtrate, by removing more water from it, and passes it to the distal tubule. From the distal tubule it travels to the collecting duct – now called urine.
What should not be found in filtrate?
Blood proteins and blood cells
are too large to pass through the filtration membrane and should not be found in filtrate.
What is the correct order of structures in the nephron?
Each nephron is composed of a renal corpuscle (glomerulus within Bowman’s capsule), a proximal tubule (convoluted and straight components), an intermediate tubule (loop of Henle),
a distal convoluted tubule, a connecting tubule, and cortical, outer medullary, and inner medullary collecting ducts
.
What is the pathway of urine?
The kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra make up
the urinary tract
, the pathway through which urine flows and is eliminated from the body.
What is the correct path of urine in the human body?
kidneys: two bean-shaped organs that filter waste from the blood and produce urine. ureters: two thin tubes that take pee from the kidney to the bladder. bladder: a sac that holds pee until it’s time to go to the bathroom.
urethra
: the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body when you pee.
Which of the following is the correct order of blood flow afferent arterioles?
The correct answer is (b) Afferent arterioles,
glomerulus, efferent arteriole, peritubular capillaries
.
What is the correct order of urine flow beginning with the collecting duct?
From the collecting ducts, the urine progresses to the
renal pelvis
, a widened area of the kidney, and exits through the ureter. The urine passes through the ureters to the urinary bladder. When the urinary bladder is full, the body releases urine through the urethra during urination, or micturition.
What is the correct branching sequence of arteries in the kidney?
The
renal artery first divides into segmental arteries, followed by further branching to form multiple interlobar arteries
that pass through the renal columns to reach the cortex. The interlobar arteries, in turn, branch into arcuate arteries, cortical radiate arteries, and then into afferent arterioles.
Which of the following is the correct sequence in which urine flow through the kidney towards the urinary bladder?
| Urinary system | FMA 7159 | Anatomical terminology |
|---|
What are the symptoms of glomerulonephritis?
- Fatigue.
- High blood pressure.
- Swelling of the face, hands, feet, and belly.
- Blood and protein in the urine (hematuria and proteinuria)
- Decreased urine output.
What is Bowman’s capsule?
Bowman’s capsule is
a part of the nephron that forms a cup-like sack surrounding the glomerulus
. Bowman’s capsule encloses a space called “Bowman’s space,” which represents the beginning of the urinary space and is contiguous with the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron.
What is the main solute in urine?
Sodium and potassium, accompanied by univalent anions, and
urea
are the major urinary solutes; urea is normally predominant urinary solute during a strong antidiuresis [2;3]. The mechanisms for the independent control of water and sodium excretion are mostly contained within the renal medulla.
