Chapter 27 Urinary System Flashcards
- What structures make up the Urinary Tract?
Ureters or
Urethra or
Urinary Bladder
- What is found in the Renal Lobes?
Renal Columns or
Minor Calyx or
Renal Pyramid
- What is found in the Urogenital Diaphragm surrounding the Urethra in the male?
External Urethral Sphincter
- What tubes/ducts are found in the medulla of the Kidney?
Vasa Recta or
Collecting Duct or
Ascending Limb of Nephron Loop
- What tissue is found on/in the inner layer of the Urinary Bladder?
Transitional Epithelial Tissue or
Rugae
- What structures make up an Arterial Portal System in the Kidneys?
Vasa Recta or
Glomerulus
- What is the pathway that blood takes from the Descending Abdominal Aorta to a Glomerulus in the Left Kidney?
Left Renal Artery - Left Segmental Arteries - Interlobar Arteries - Arcuate Arteries - Interlobular Arteries - Afferent Arterioles
- What are the Areas of the Male Urethra?
Prostatic Urethra, Membranous Urethra, Spongy Urethra
- What cells form the Visceral Layer of the Glomerulus?
Podocytes
- What forms the majority of the outer layer of the Urinary Bladder?
Adventitia
- Where does the Afferent Arteriole enter the Renal Corpuscle and the Efferent Arteriole leave the Renal Corpuscle?
Vascular Pole
- What type of capillaries make up the glomerulus?
Fenestrated Capillaries
- Where is 70% of the filtered water Reabsorbed in the Kidney?
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
- What is the Apex of a Renal Pyramid called?
Renal Papilla
- What structures make up an Arterial Portal System in the Kidneys?
Vasa Recta, Glomerulus
- What part of the Male Ureters are found within the Penis?
None
- What Capillary system surrounds the Nephron Loop?
Vasa Recta
- What structures form the Renal Corpuscle?
Glomerulus and Glomerular Capsule
- Where are the Arcuate Veins found?
Corticomedullary Junction
- What do the Interlobar Veins merge to form?
Renal Veins
- What causes the filtrate to leave the glomerulus and enter the space between the glomerulus and the renal capsule?
None
SEVERAL MINOR CALYCES FUSE TO FORM
Major Calyx
ALL OF THE MAJOR CALYCES FUSE TO FORM
Renal Pelvis
What volume of blood is filtered how many times in a 24 hour period?
5 Liters, 36 times
How much of the blood that enters the Glomerulus is filtered at a time?
20%
What does the Nephron consist of?
Renal Corpuscle, Proximal Convoluted Tubule, A Nephron Loop, Distal Convoluted Tubule
What has their renal corpuscle near the corticomedullary junction?
Juxtamedullary Nephron
The bulk of this nephron is located in the Renal Cortex?
Cortical Nephron
What percentage of Nephrons are Cortical Nephrons?
85%
The tubules of the Kidney process the Filtrate, also known as
TUBULAR FLUID
THE DISTAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE BECOMES
THE COLLECTING TUBULE
MANY COLLECTING TUBULES DRAIN INTO
A COLLECTING DUCT
What is the pole where the proximal convoluted tubule begins?
TUBULAR POLE
This limb terminates in the distal convoluted tubule?
Ascending Limb
THE SMOOTH MUSCLE FOUND IN THE WALL OF THE URINARY BLADDER IS
THE DETRUSOR MUSCLE
