Block 4 - Kidney/Blood Supply/Urinary Tract Flashcards
uriniferous tubule is formed by these two things
nephron, collecting tubule
components of nephron
renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule, proximal straight tubule, distal straight tubule, thin tubule
pars radiata is made up of blank
straight tubules
pars convoluta is made up of blank
convoluted tubules
lobe consists of these
pyramid, overlying cortex
human kidneys have this many lobes
8-18
vessels between lobules that divdes them
interlobular vessel
two types of nephron
cortical, juxtamedullary
artery has more blank than vein
smooth muscle
the renal corpuscles are located in blank
pars convoluta
vessels between lobes and continue on as blank vessels
interlobar, arcuate
arteries that come off arcuate arteries
interlobular arteries
blood flow through kidney
ok
small vessles that look like cracks in kidney tissue
postcapillary venules
interlobular artery turns into blank
afferent arterioles
