A&P Final lecture 3 Notes Flashcards
Kidney
What is the renal blood flow through the kidney
Renal Artery
Segmental Arteries
Interlobar Arteries
Arcuate Arteries
Interlobular Arteries
Afferent Arterioles
Glomerular Cap’s
Efferent Arterioles
Peritubular Cap’s
Interlobular veins
Arcuate Veins
Interlobar Veins
Segmental Veins
Renal Veins
True or False, All the waste that enters the kidney comes out the kidney
False
Where are the renal peritubular capillaries located within the kidneys
renal interstitium
What are the 2 primary function of the peritubular capillaries?
-reabsorb the fluid
-provide for the metabolic requirements for deeper parts of the kidney
What would happen to impaired blood flow through the peritubular capillaries?
The peritubular capillaries that are most deep will be under perfuse
What is the name of the peritubular capillaries that are located in the medulla of the kidney?
Vasa Recta
Where are the majority of the peritublar capillaries, superficial or deep?
superfical
What is the DVR ?
How many DVRs are their within a peritublar caplliary?
Descending Vasa Recta
1
What is the AVR?
How many AVRs are there?
Ascending Vasa Recta
2 or many tubes
Why are the AVR in a parallel system?
Decreases the velocity of the blood, to prevent wash out of the deep medulla
What is the open space of the renal system and what can be found in it?
interstitium
proteins
electrolytes
collegen
operate as network for things to work through
What happens to the interstitium as it goes deeper into the kidney
the interstitium becomes more concentrated which can help us hold fluid
What would happen if we decrease the velocity of the blood?
reduce the chance of washing out the renal interstitium
How do the tuff, thick outer coating surrounding the kidney effects the kidney?
Keeps the pressure in the kidneys elevated
increase the amount of urine produce
What happens if we have an injury to the outer coating of the kidney?
fluid leaking out
pressures in the kidney will be different
What is the order of the renal tubular system?
1: Corpuscle - Bowmans capsule
2: PCT - Proxmial Convoluted Tubule
3: PST - Proximal Straight Tubule
4: DTL - Descending Thin Loop of Henle
5: AThinL (ATL) - Ascending Thin Loop of Henle
6: TAL - Ascending Thick Loop of Henle
7: MD - Macula Densa (Located in the 1st part of the DCT)
8: DCT - Distal Convoluted Tublule
9: CT - Collecting Tubules (Duct)
10: CCD - cortical collecting duct (located in the cortex)
11: oMCD - Outer Medulla Collecting Duct
12: iMCD - Inner Medulla Collecting Duct
What are the parts of the juxtaglomerular Apparatus
Macula Densa
Juxtaglomerular cells
Capillary endothelium
Glomerular Basement Membrane
Podocytes
Blood vessels in/out (afferent and efferent)
Proximal tubule
What is the Juxtaglomerular Apparatus?
-Sensor system of the kidney determines the amount of fluid flowing to fine to GFR
-it talks to the blood vessels that are up stream (Afferent) and (Efferent) down stream the glomerular
What ions do the Macula Densa rely on to determine the amount volume in the distal tubules?
looks at the number of Na (primary) Cl ions in the fluid per unit time
low Na = GFR to low
High Na = GFR to high
What are 2 ways MD response to low GFR in the distal tubules?
- Na+ is low = system will do things to increase the GFR
- the MD tells the afferent arteriole to dilute
- less resistance between the glomerular and the heart
- Increasing Glomerular blood flow
- Increasing the amount of filtration that we have - Juxtaglomerular cells release Renin
-which is the primary step in And II
