Nephron structure & function

by jessie
1

What is the functional unit of the kidney?

2

Where are nephrons located?

3

Approximately how many nephrons are in each kidney?

4

What is produced by the nephron after filtering blood?

5

Which two main parts make up a nephron?

6

Are nephrons sonographically appreciated on standard ultrasound?

7

The renal corpuscle is composed of which structures?

8

True or False: Nephrons are located in the renal parenchyma only.

9

During renal filtration, blood first enters a capillary network located within Bowman’s capsule. Which vessel delivers blood to this network?

10

A structure in the renal cortex is described as a tuft of capillaries surrounded by a cuplike structure. Which structure is being described?

11

After blood passes through the glomerular capillaries, which vessel carries the remaining blood away from the glomerulus?

12

Which structure directly receives the fluid that is filtered from the glomerular capillaries?

13

A sonography student is reviewing the microscopic anatomy of the renal cortex. Which structure would be expected to be located there?

14

Damage to podocytes would most directly affect which renal structure and function?

15

A decrease in renal perfusion pressure is detected near the glomerulus. Which structure is primarily responsible for initiating a response to help maintain systemic blood pressure?

16

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is most closely associated with which vessel entering the glomerulus?

17

Dysfunction of the juxtaglomerular apparatus would most directly interfere with regulation of which two processes?

18

A patient develops decreased blood flow to the glomerulus. Which response would most likely involve the juxtaglomerular apparatus?

19

Which statement best describes the function of the juxtaglomerular apparatus?

20

After glomerular filtration occurs, which nephron structure is primarily responsible for modifying the filtrate into urine?

21

2. A substance such as glucose is filtered into the nephron but is needed by the body. Which process returns it from the renal tubule back to the blood?

22

3. Which sequence correctly represents the flow of filtrate through the renal tubule?

23

4. A nephron segment performs a large portion of the reabsorption of useful substances immediately after filtrate leaves Bowman’s capsule. Which structure is being described?

24

5. Which portion of the nephron is most important for establishing water and salt balance and helping concentrate urine?

25

6. Waste substances are moved from the blood into the renal tubule so they can eventually be eliminated in urine. This process is called:

Feedback

The nephron is the functional unit; the glomerulus is part of it.

Nephrons reside within the renal parenchyma, not in the pelvis or ureter.

Each kidney contains roughly one million nephrons.

Nephrons filter blood to form a filtrate that becomes urine.

The nephron consists of the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule.

Nephrons are microscopic and not seen on routine ultrasound.

The renal corpuscle includes the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule.

Nephrons reside within the renal parenchyma.
