3.02 Urinary/3.04 Sensory System Review

The urinalysis revealed glycosuria, indicating that the diabetic patient’s kidney exceeded its threshold. Which process of urine formation was ineffective?

• excretion

•   filtration

Found in both the cortex and the medulla, a tube that collects urine from multiple nephrons and transports it towards the renal pelvis:

•           Bowman’s Capsule

• Collecting ducts

As filtrate passes through the descending loop of Henle, which substance is reabsorbed in the largest amount?

• sodium

• water

The traumatic accident affected the patient's urinary function and resulted in oliguria and uremia. How will the patient’s symptoms be treated if she develops anuria?

• catheterization

• hemodialysis

The patient has a disorder that affects the release of ADH. Which function of the urinary system is affected?

• secretion

• reabsorption

Found in both the cortex and medulla, a loop-shaped structure responsible for further reabsorption of water and electrolytes:

• Loop of Henle

• Collecting ducts

What renal function does hemodialysis replace?

•        hormones

•       filtration

The Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, and loop of Henle are all parts of the:

• adrenal gland.

• nephron.

Which function of the urinary system leads to the elimination of excessive substances in the urine, such as sodium and potassium?

• secretion

• diffusion

Which component of the urinary system may be blocked by kidney stones causing severe back pain and hydronephrosis?

• nephron

          

•  ureter
