- Describe the gross anatomy of the kidney and its coverings.
- Trace the blood supply through the kidney.
- Identify the parts of the nephron responsible for filtration, reabsorption,
and secretion, and describe the mechanisms underlying each of these functional
processes. Identify the above process involved with water, ions, glucose,
amino acids, ammonia, urea, proteins, and cells.
- Explain the role of hormones in sodium, potassium and water balance. Use
this hormonal negative feedback loop template.
- Explain the formation of dilute versus concentrated urine.
- Describe the normal physical and chemical properties of urine.
- List several abnormal urine components, and name the condition when each
is present in detectable amounts.
- Describe the general structure and function of the ureter and urinary bladder.
- Describe the role of the urinary system in blood pH and blood pressure regulation.
