What causes polyuria during the renal insufficiency stage in chronic renal failure? Decreased aldosterone secretion Loss of renal tubule function Decreased blood pressure Increased glomerular filtrate rate Presence of urinary casts in glomerular filtrate

Compare acute and chronic renal failure with respect tocause, reversibility, and urinary output at onset.

Can you help me fill in the following blanks with the correct terms with the word bank below?

Does this chart show the patient has Glomerulonephritis or Nephrotic Syndrome? Look at renal chart and determine the disorder. How does this renal result defer from a healthy individual?

Water though Urinary System Trace the path of the water molecule as it moves from this starting point to this ending point. Starting point: The water molecule enters a kidney in the blood plasma traveling through the renal artery. Ending point: The water molecule is excreted from the body. You may write a description, create a diagram with labels, or both to trace a path. Include as many of the following components of the urinary system and terms as you can: afferent arteriolecollecting ductdistal convoluted tubuleglomerular capsuleglomerulusmajor calyxminor calyx nephron loopproximal convoluted tubulerenal pelvisureterurethra For each of the parts of the urinary system in your path, describe a unique anatomical characteristic (size, tissue composition, etc.) or function.

Create a concept map, using transition words, of a kidney structure and function, including the following. Afferent arterial Bowmans capsule Collecting duct Convoluted, tubule's, proximal and distal Cortex and medulla Afferent arterial Excretion Filtrate Filtration Gomerullus  kidney loop of Henle nephron Peritubular capillaries reabsorption Renal artery renal corpuscle  Renal pelvis, and urter  Renal vein

Which of these will you expect to find in a patient with congestive cardiac failure and fluid overload? Group of answer choices Increased ANP secretion Increased renal vasoconstriction Increased ADH secretion Decreased heart rate

Briefly describe the following parts of the kidney. Renal cortex  Medullary columns Major calyces Renal hilum Ureter

The visceral layer of a renal capsule consists of unusual, branching epithelial cells called: O loops of Henle podocytes O pericytes filtration slits

A kidney stone (renal calculus) lodges in a ureter, blocking the flow of urine out of the kidney. What effect will this have on the glomerular filtration rate? Be as specific as possible.
