Ch 26 Lec 1 - Urinary System Flashcards
urinary organ produces urine
kidney
urinary organ that takes urine to bladder
ureter
kidney is covered by these three things
renal capsule, renal fascia, perinephric adipose
superficial structure of kidney that is penetrated by renal artery, vein, and ureter penetrate
hilus
two layers of kidney
renal medulla, renal cortex
outer granular layer of kidney
renal cortex
renal papilla of renal pyramids empties into blank
minor calyces
minor calyx empties into blank
major calyces
major calyces empties into blank
renal pelvis
renal pelvis turns into blank
ureter
after going into glomerulus, blood in kidneys go to blank, then blank, then blank
efferent arterioles, peritubular capillaries, venules
functional unit of the kidney and there are blank per kidney
nephron, 1 million
nephrons are not blank if damages
replaced
amount of functional nephron essential for survival
1/3
two regions of nephron
renal corpuscle, renal tubule
renal corpuscle is made of blank and blank
glomerulus and bowman’s capsule
cluster of capillaries off afferent arteriole
glomerulus
glomerulus has blank endothelium on capillaries
fenestrated
two layers of renal corpuscle
visceral, parietal
part of visceral layer that adheres to the glomerulus
podocytes
podocytes are highly blank cells
branched
branches of podocytes are called blank
pedicels
outer wall of renal glomerular capsule
parietal layer
the filtration of blood is aka blank
glomerular filtration
plasma becomes blank in the capsule
filtrate
continues from renal corpuscle
proximal convoluted tubule
proximal convoluted tubule is made of blank epithelium with a brush border
cuboidal
proximal convoluted tubule absorbs blank percent of filtrate
