Medical Terminology Chapter 9 Urinary System

The name of the condition when waste products are allowed to build up in the blood is:

• Anuria
• Uremia
• Pyuria
• Hematuria

Urine production takes place in the:

• Nephrons
• Bladder
• Ureter
• Renal pelvis

The renal blood vessel enter and leave the kidney at the:

• Cortex
• Renal papilla
• Medulla
• Hilum

The renal papilla empties urine into the:

• Renal pelvis
• Calyx
• Nephron
• Ureter

The correct order for the renal tubules is:

• Proximal convoluted tubule, collecting duct, distal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle
• Distal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, proximal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
• Proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
• Collecting duct, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule

In hemostasis, the kidney regulates the:

• Level of electrolytes
• Amount of water in the body
• pH
• All of the above

Which stage of urine production involves the removal of substances from the bloodstream?

• Reabsorption
• Excretion
• Filteration
• Secretion

Which stage of urine production involves returning water, nutrients, and electrolytes to the bloodstream?

• Filteration
• Excretion
• Secretion
• Reabsorption

Which stage of urine production involves adding ammonia, uric acid, and other waste substances directly into the renal tubule?

• Reabsorption
• Filteration
• Secretion
• Excretion

Which finding would you expect in a normal urinalysis?

• Trace amounts of protein
• Cloudy appearance
• Trace levels of ketones
• A few red blood cells
