cortex		This arteriole delivers blood to the nephron
renalartery		Cup-like structure that collects urine at the end of each papilla
thirty		First process in urine formation
calyx		Supplies blood to the kidney
erythropoietin		Hormone that increaseskidney reabsorption of Na and H2O, restoring BP, blood volume and Na levels
kidneys		Tube that eliminates urine from the body
renal capsule		Outer fibrous tissue of kidney
glomerularfiltration		This hormone increases membrane permeability to water and enhances water reabsorption.
efferent		These organs filter waste products for elimination
ADH		This arteriole takes blood away from the glomerulus
renin		Series of specialized capillary loops that filter water and waste products from blood to make urine
glomerulus		"Working" unit of the kidney, where urine is actuall formed from blood
afferent		The kidney is the second line of defene for the body's acid/base __________?
aldosterone		Area in which the renal artery and nerve plexus enter and the renal vein and ureter exit
tubularsecretion		This hormone triggers RBC production in the bone marrow
reabsorbed		As the filtrate passes through the tubular parts of the nephron, most of the water and electrolytes are ______________.
urethra		This process allows substances such as K and H to move from the blood to urine to maintain pH
balance		Muscular sac that temporarily stores urine until voided
nephron		Normal urine output is _______ cc's per/hour.
ureters		Hollow tubes that connect the kidneys to the urinary bladder
hilum		This hormone promotes the reabsorption of sodium
bladder		Hormone that is produced by the kindey that regulates blood flow, glomerular filtration rate and blood pressure
aldosterone		Outer tissue layer
