13 Flashcards
whats the name of the tube that carries urine to bladder
ureter
whats the name of the tube that carries urine from bladder to outside world
urethra
which is above the order renal artery or renal vein
artery
what does the renal artery and veins branch to
interlobular arteries
interlobular veins
whats the final branch of renal arteries
glomeruli (many capillaries)
where are glomeruli found
cortex
what encloses glomerulus
bowman capsule (epithelium layer)
what type of capillaries are inside Romans capsule
fenestrated
whats the first stage of urine formation
filtering of plasma from the glomerular capillaries into the space of the capsule
where does the capsular space empty
proximal convoluted tubule
what percentage of the blood is filtered through glomerulus (filtration fraction)
20%
which arteriole has greater diameter afferent or efferent
afferent
is there a drop or an increase in pressure entre afferent and efferent
drop
what mechanism drives fluid through the capillaries endothelium to bowman space
filtration pressure caused by high pressure in afferent
function of podocytes and where re they found
control size of particles that can go out
glucose is filtered but protein are not
on festered capillaries of glomerulus
what can cause proteinuria
infection so podocytes inflamed so more space between them so proteins can get through
where in the kidney is the loop of hence
medulla
which is longer distal or proximal convoluted tubule
proximal
what makes up a nephron
bowman capsule proximal convoluted loop of H distal convol collecting duct
whats in urine but not filtered in bowman capsule how are they filtered
dyes nad antiobiotcs
secreted by peritubular capillaries near proximal convoluted tubules
whats the physical pressure in glomerular capillaries
55 mmHg
