Across
- 4. small vessels surrounding kidney tubules (also known as vasa recta)
- 6. the convoluted tubule where 2/3 or substances are reabsorbed into blood stream
- 7. loop of henle where filtrate is concentrated as water is reabsorbed
- 8. byproduct/result of protein breakdown into amino acids
- 11. hormone produced by hypothalamus that signals collecting duct to retain water by reabsorption
- 12. convoluted tubule where drugs can enter the tubule from the blood stream to be eliminated in urine
- 13. section of kidney where loop of henle descends.
- 14. if present in urine could indicate diabetes
Down
- 1. functional unit of the kidney
- 2. produced when ammonia is converted in the liver
- 3. brings blood into the glomerulus; under pressure causes substances to be forced out of capillaries to form filtrate
- 5. structure surrounding glomerulus; collects filtrate
- 9. Carry urine from kidney to bladder
- 10. mass of vessels that filter blood to create filtrate
- 11. suppresses the action of ADH
