1. Functions of the Urinary SystemA. Kidneys regulate blood levels of several ions, most importantly(Na+),(K+),_(Ca2+),_(Cl-),and_(HPO42-).B. Kidneys regulate blood pH by secretion ofand reabsorption ofC. Kidneys regulate blood volume by conserving or eliminatingD. Kidneys regulate blood pressure by secreting the enzymewhichactivates the RAA pathway that increases blood pressure.E. Kidneys help maintain a relatively constant blood osmolarity ofF. Kidneys produce_mOsm/liter.(active vitamin D) and- thehormone that stimulates RBC production.G. Kidneys can use glutamine (amino acid) to synthesizeH. Kidneys excrete wastes such asfrom deamination of amino acids,from catabolism of hemoglobin,from breakdownof creatine phosphate, andfrom catabolism of nucleic acids.2. Matching:KidneyA. Superficial, light red region of the kidney – contains portions of thenephron such as the corpuscle and convoluted tubules.Renal hilumB. Deeper, dark reddish-brown region of the kidney that consists ofseveral cone-shaped renal pyramids – contains portions of the nephronsuch as the loop of Henle, collecting duct, and papillary duct.Adipose capsuleC. Retroperitoneal organ that filters blood among other functions.Renal medullaD. Indentation through which the ureter emerges from the kidney alongwith blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.Renal cortexE. Fatty tissue that surrounds and protects each kidney.Minor calycesF. From the major calyces, urine drains into this single large cavity beforeleaving out the ureter.Renal pelvisG. Papillary ducts of nephrons drain into these cuplike structures.UreterH. Passageway for discharging urine from the urinary bladder.Urinary bladderI. Stores urine until detrusor muscle contracts to push urine into theurethra.UrethraJ. Transports urine from the renal pelvis of kidney to the urinary bladder.

4: Fanconi syndrome is a disorder where the Proximal convoluted Tubule is impaired and does not reabsorb like it does normally. This can lead to acidosis (high blood acid levels) and polyuria (frequent dilute urination). Explainthe normal way bicarbonate (HCO3-) and Glucose are reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule. Explainwhy not reabsorbing bicarbonate (HCO3-) and Glucose lead to acidosis and polyuria (respectively).

Fred was diagnosed 6 months ago with liver cancer. His liver is no longer able to make the necessary amount of proteins needed by the body. What effect, if any, would this have on the net glomerular filtration rate? (Hint, decide which of the 3 forces contributing to the net filtration rate is affected. Then adjust numbers in the equation to determine if there is an increase, decrease, or no change to the net filtration rate). Group of answer choices A) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. B) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. C) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. D) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. E) There would be no effect on the net glomerular filtration rate.
