Chapter 15 Review
*This review sheet should be used to find your strengths and weaknesses for this chapter, this should not be the only
thing you study. *
1. On the diagram below label the major organs of the urinary system. *BE ABLE TO LABEL ALL OTHER STRUCTURES
AS WELL FROM FIGURE 15.1 A*You may want to add in those structures to the figure below to study!!
2.
List the major functions performed by the kidneys. List as many as your textbook (or professor) has given.
4. On the diagram below label the parts of the cortical AND juxtamedullary nephrons and other non-nephron parts of
the kidney.
5.
6.
Which nephron above (A or B) is the cortical nephron and which is the juxtamedullary nephron?
A is the

B is the

a. Draw at least one arrow in each labeled part of the cortical and juxtamedullary nephrons above to indicate the
direction of fluid flow. The more arrows the better.
b.
Fill in the blanks below to trace the flow of fluid through a cortical nephron. The first line,
“glomerulus” has been filled in for you.

7. Three nephron processes are responsible for producing urine. On the simplified diagram below label each of these 3
processes.
8. Fill in the table below:
FILTRATE
RBCs
H2O
Salts (NaCl)
H+
Urea
Glucose
Amino Acids
Drugs
FILTERED BY GLOMERULUS
(YES OR NO)
IF FILTERED, IS IT
REABSORBED OR ONLY
EXCRETED
IF REABSORBED, WHERE?
9. Write the names of renal blood vessels on the blanks below to indicate the direction of blood flow through a kidney.
*BE ABLE TO LABEL AS WELL*
10. Write several sentences to describe in the correct order the sequence of events leading from increased secretion of
the following (BE SURE TO LIST WHAT IS SECRETING THEM, THEIR TARGET ORGAN/CELL, & RESPONSE)*
Rennin:
ADH:
Aldosterone:
11. Compare the renal capsule and adipose capsule:
12. Briefly describe the location of your kidneys:
13. What other structures aid the kidneys in excretion? ____________________ & _________________________
14. Approximately how many nephrons are in one kidney? ______________________________
15. Compare and Contrast glomerlar capillaries to peritubular capillaries. (Be sure to note where they arise from, their
function, location, and where do they empty)
16. What type of tissue can you find in the walls of your bladder & list their importance:
17. List the 2 sphincters of the urinary system, and be sure to state if they are involuntary or voluntary:
18. List the range of specific gravity and color of urine for the following:
a. Dehydration: ____________________________________________________________________________
b. Normal Urine: ____________________________________________________________________________
