Urine is formed by a specific structure known as the _(1). To begin this process, blood enters the renal corpuscle by way of the afferent arteriole and reaches the _(2)_
of the nephron, which is a specialized capillary bed that acts like a strainer to filter out
dissolved particles from the plasma.
As fluid leaves the glomerulus, it enters _(3)_ and is now known as filtrate.
Filtrate quickly moves into the next segment of the nephron, the renal tubule by entering
the _(4)_, where 65% of all particles the body needs to keep are reabsorbed into
peritubular capillaries.
Next, the filtrate moves to the _(5)_, where reabsorption is completed. In the
_(6), water only is reabsorbed into the vasa recta while in the _(7)_, salt only is actively
transported into the medullary space. The last stop for the filtrate is the _(8), where
secretion occurs. Here waste products can be secreted from the peritubular capillaries
and become a component of urine.
The last stop in the nephron is the _(9)_, where urine from multiple nephrons
merges together. This tube carries the urine to the inferior part of the pyramid known as
the _(10)_, where urine drips into a funnel shaped structure known as a _(11)
Each calyx collects urine from one pyramid and transports the waste into the
center of the kidney in an open area known as the _(12)_. This region directs urine out
of the kidney via the _(13), which exits the hilum. From here, the ureters carry urine for
storage in the _(14)_before it will be released from the body by a final output tube
known as the _(15)

Divide the word into word parts. define the word parts, then define the term. example: spondylolisthesis = spondyl/o vertebra, -listhesis slipping; slipping of a vertebra, forward dislocation of a vertebra. - arthroplasty - syndactylism - osteomyelitis - electromyography - ankylosis - osteoclasis

Harold, a fifty-eight year old grocery store manager, had recently been waking up in the middle of the night with abdominal pain. this was happening several nights a week. he was also experiencing occasional discomfort in the middle of the afternoon. harold decided to schedule an appointment with his physician. the doctor listened as harold described his symptoms and then asked harold some questions. he noted that harold's appetite had suffered as a result of the pain he was experiencing and as a result of the fear that what he was eating may be responsible for the pain. otherwise, harold seemed fine. the doctor referred harold to a physician that specialized in internal medicine and had harold make an appointment for a procedure called an endoscopy. the endoscopy was performed at a hospital later that week. during the procedure, a long, thin tube was inserted into harold's mouth and directed into his digestive tract. the end of the tube was equipped with a light source and a small camera which allowed the doctor to observe the interior of harold's stomach. the endoscope was also equipped with a small claw-like structure that the doctor could use in order to obtain a small tissue sample from the lining of harold's stomach, if required. the endoscopy revealed that harold had a peptic ulcer. analysis of a tissue sample taken from the site showed that harold also had an infection that was caused by helicobacterpylori bacteria. the doctor who performed the endoscopy gave harold prescriptions for two different antibiotics and a medication that would decrease the secretion of stomach acid. the doctor also instructed harold to schedule an appointment for another endoscopy procedure in 6 months. 1. list the subjective findings in this case study. 2. what is an endoscopy? (2 points) what is a biopsy? 3. how was a biopsy performed on harold? 4. differentiate between gastric and duodenal ulcers by location. 5. what role does h. pylori play in the formation of peptic ulcers? 6. define occult and frank blood. (4 points) what is a guaiac test? 7. how can peptic ulcers cause bleeding? 8. why were antibiotics prescribed? 9. why would a medication that would decrease the secretion of stomach acid be beneficial?
