| 3. Which of the following transports urine of the bladder: | urethra |
| 4. Left kidney sits ____ then right kidney: | Higher/ superior |
| 5. Three nephrons function | (1) filtration of solid wastes in the blood (glomerular) ,( 2) re-absorb all essential nutrients(Bowen capsule) ,(3)excretion of body waste (urine/collection duct) |
| 6. Reabsorption of glucose occurs mostly in the: | proximal convoluted tubule (also: sodium and chloride ions, and water) |
| 7. In response to decreased levels of aldosterone, the kidneys would likely produce: | urine with a higher concentration of sodium ions. |
| 8. At the nephron, angiotensin II triggers ________ to elevate glomerular pressures and glomerular filtration rates: | vasoconstriction of the efferent arterioles |
| 9. What tissue lines the bladder: | transitional epithelial tissue |
| 10. When the level of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) increases: Decrease: |
less urine is produced. (decrease : more urine production) |
| 11. Distal convoluted tubule (DCT) responsible for the resorption of: | sodium, water and secretion of hydrogen potassium and it becomes permeable to water in the presence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). |
| 12. Urinary incontinence (UI) is: | loss of bladder control |
| 13. Urinary retention is: | the inability to empty the bladder |
