Top Kidney Flashcards

The kidneys are important bean-shaped organs that provide many essential roles in regulation in vertebrates. Their main function is to maintain the balance of electrolytes in the blood, along with maintaining pH balance. They also remove excess molecules from the blood. This includes the removal of waste products created during metabolism. Kidneys are essential to the urinary system. In our kidney flashcards, we provide crucial information about the kidneys. In our first set of flashcards, we go over diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract.

You will be quizzed on your knowledge of the anatomy of both the kidneys, and the urinary tract. In our second set, we cover different disorders and nursing care. I hope you remember your classes, because we will be reviewing terms like Pyelonephritis, Glomerulonephritis and polycystic kidney disease. In our third set, we will review different prefixes, suffixes and cores that you will need to know. Get to work!
