Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What are the narrow tubes that transport urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder?

Answer: ureters

The word, 'ureter' is sometimes mistaken for 'urethra'.
2. Define IVP.

Answer: intravenous pyelogram

An intravenous pyelogram is when iodine is injected within the vein when doing a radiographic examination.

An intERvenous pyelogram would somehow be between two veins.
3. Within the kidney,where does 80 percent of nephron reabsorption occur?

Answer: Proximal Convoluted Tubule

Nephrons are located within the kidney that filters the blood and produces urine. The parts and percentage of nephron reabsorption are as follows: 5 percent of reabsorption occurs at the Bowman's capsule, 5 percent of reabsorption occurs at the Loop of Henle, 10 percent of reabsorption occurs at the distal convoluted tubule, and 80 percent of reabsorption occurs at the proximal convoluted tubule.
4. Let's assume that the kidneys of a healthy individual produce 300 cubic centimeters of urine every 2 hours, approximately what would be the hourly filtration volume?

Answer: 15,000 cubic centimeters per hour

Well...this is how it's done: you have to start with x amount of urine produced in 1 hour. Since the information given states that the individual produces 300 cubic centimeters of urine in 2 hours, you divide 300 cubic centimeters by 2 hours which leaves you with 150 cubic centimeters produced in 1 hour. Then you multipy 150 by 100 to get the hourly filtration volume.
5. What is the name of the pigment found in the urinary bladder that produces the normal yellow to amber color of urine?

Answer: urochrome

xanthro-means yellow chrome-means color. cyan-means a bluish color. ureters-look at the first question and you'll find the meaning.
6. What is the name of the instrument that requires 1 drop of urine to be read off a scale viewed through an ocular?

Answer: refractometer

A refractometer is used to measure the specific gravity of urine. A sphygmomanometer is the instrument that health professionals use when taking your blood pressure. A urinometer is an old-fashion way of measuring the specific gravity of urine before the refractometer was invented.
7. When collecting a urine specimen, what type of urine specimen is most likely to be concentrated?

Answer: morning specimen

8. What medical term refers to the dilation or stretching of the nephron?

Answer: nephrectasis

Nephroectasis is there to confuse you. You can't combine 2 vowels in most circumstances. Nephrorrhapy means the surgical repair of the nephron. Nephrectomy means the surgical removal of the nephron.
9. A healthy individual produced 3600 cubic centimeters of urine in one day. What is the quantity of glucose reabsorbed each hour when .10 grams of 100 cubic centimeters of glucose are in the filtrate and plasma?

Answer: 15 grams

I don't feel like explaining this...ask someone who works in the lab to answer this one or just look it up in a medical book.
10. In a solution, what is the ratio of the weight of a given volume of urine to the weight of an equal amount of water?

Answer: specific gravity
