| back 2 1. kidney
|

| back 3 1. urethra
|
front 4 1. produces urine
| back 4 1. kidney
|

| back 5 1. urethra
|
front 6 1. portion of kidney containing mostly collecting ducts
| back 6 1. medulla
|
front 7 1. basinlike area of kidney, continuous with the ureter
| back 7 1. renal pelvis
|
front 8 1. area of cortex like tissue running between medullary pyramids
| back 8 1. renal column
|
front 9 1. primary site of tubular reabsorption
| back 9 1. proximal convoluted tubule
|
front 10 1. its inner (visceral) membrane forms part of the filtration membrane
| back 10 1. glomerulus.
|
front 11 1. how does its high pressure condition aid its function of filtrate formation? | back 11 1. the high hydrostatic pressure forces out fluid and blood components smaller than proteins from the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule. |
front 12 1. Trace a drop of blood from when it enters the kidney in renal artery to when it leaves through the renal vein | back 12 1. renal artery - segmental artery- lobar artery- interlobar artery- arcuate artery- interlobular artery- afferent arterioles- glomerulus- peritubular capillary- interlobular vein- arcuate vein- interlobar vein- renal vein |
front 13 Trace the anatomical pathway of a molecule of creatinine (metabolic waste) from the glomerular capsule to the urethra. | back 13 1. glomerular capsule- proximal convoluted tubule- loop of henle- distal convoluted tubule- collecting duct- renal cortex- medullary pyramid- calyces- renal pelvis- ureter- urinary bladder- urethra |
front 14 1. what is the normal volume of urine excreted in a 24 hour period?
| back 14 1. 1.0 - 1.8 Litres
|
front 15 1. list two substances that are routinely found in filtrate but not in urine.
| back 15 1. glucose, amino acids
|
front 16 1. blood in urine
| back 16 1. hematuria
|
front 17 1. pregnancy
| back 17 1. albuminuria
|
front 18 1. list two principal functions of the testes:
| back 18 1. sperm and testosterone production
|
front 19 1. duct conveying sperm to the ejaculatory duct; in the spermatic cord.
| back 19 1. vas deferens
|
front 20 1. location of testis in adult males
| back 20 1. scrotum
|
front 21 1. empties a secretion into the prostatic urethra
| back 21 1. prostate gland
|
front 22 1. describe the composition of semen and name all structures contributing to its formation | back 22 1. semen is composed of sperm and seminal fluid. the sperm are produced int he testis and the seminal fluid is produced by the prostate, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral gland. |
front 23 1. of what importance is the fact that seminal fluid is alkaline? | back 23 1. helps neutralise the acid environment of the female vagina, protecting the sperm, and enhancing their motility. |
front 24 1. trace pathway of sperm from testes to urethra. | back 24 1. seminiferous tubule - rete testis- epididymis- ductus deferens |
front 25 1. site of fetal development.
| back 25 1. uterus
|
front 26 1. becomes erectile during sexual excitement
| back 26 1. clitoris
|
front 27 1. do any sperm enter the pelvic cavity of female?
| back 27 1. possible because there is no actual contat between the female gonad and uterine tube
|
front 28 1. Name the male stucture that is homologous to the femal stuctures below"
| back 28 1.
|
front 29 1. the testis is divided into a number of lobes by connective tissue. each of these lobes contains one to fou ______ _____ ____ ____, which converge on a tubular region of the testis called the ______________________.
| back 29 1. highly coiled seminiferous tubules; rete testis at the mediastinum of the testis.
|
front 30 1. What is a follicle?
| back 30 1. sac like structures within which the femal gametes begin their development.
