NR507- Exam (Latest )
Advanced Patho- cardiac, pulmonary,
hematology, renal Questions & Answers
100% Correct [Grade A] - Chamberlain
minor calyces - correct answer cup-shaped areas that collect urine draining from
pyramidal papillae
major calyces - correct answer areas that collect urine from minor calyces, empty
urine into renal pelvis
renal pelvis - correct answer funnel-shaped reservoir that collects the urine and
passes it to the bladder
ureter - correct answer tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder
the lobe - correct answer structural unit of the kidney, 14 lobes
nephron - correct answer Functional unit of the kidney
filtration
collection
Types of Nephrons: - correct answer superficial
midcortical
juxtamedullary (concentration of urine)
glomerulus - correct answer A ball of capillaries surrounded by Bowman's capsule in
the nephron and serving as the site of filtration in the vertebrate kidney.
Bownman's capsule - correct answer cup shaped structure surrounding the
glomerulus
mesangial cells - correct answer control blood pressure and filtration within
glomerulus. they also have phagocytic properties similar to monocytes and release
inflammatory cytokines and growth factor.
renal corpuscle - correct answer glomerulus and bowman's capsule
glomerular - correct answer filtration

Advanced Patho- cardiac, pulmonary,
hematology, renal Questions & Answers
100% Correct [Grade A] - Chamberlain
proximal convoluted tubule - correct answer reabsorption
65% of salt and water and most organic substances are reabsorbed in the PCT
Remainder absorbed throughout tubule system- ADH and aldosterone influence
amounts
antidiuretic hormone (ADH) - correct answer promotes retention of water by kidneys
Aldosterone - correct answer Hormone that stimulates the kidney to retain sodium
ions and water
Loop of Henle - correct answer The part of a kidney tubule that forms a long loop in
the medulla of the kidney, from which water and salts are resorbed into the blood.
distal convoluted tubule - correct answer reabsorption and secretion
collecting duct - correct answer reabsorption of water/ secretion
Formation of urine steps - correct answer 1. glomerular filtration
2. tubular reabsorption
3. tubular secretion
function of kidneys - correct answer Filter blood and produce urine
maintain homeostasis
PH
BP
Waste (urea)
glomerular filtration - correct answer the movement of substances from the blood
within the glomerulus into bowman's space
nephron damage - correct answer 1 thing that causes an increase in creatinine.
number of nephrons decrease with age. Change in renal vasculature causing shunt
between efferent and afferent arterioles. specific gravity in elderly tends to be low.
