Exam 4 Part 6

Question 1

nephron

Answer 1

function unit of kidney where filtration and absorption occur; millions per kidney

Question 2

each nephron consists of…

Answer 2

renal corpusule

renal tubule

Question 3

renal corpusule

Answer 3

in cortex

has glomerulus and glomerular capsule

Question 4

glomerulus

Answer 4

fenestrated capillary bed
some substances leave blood (filtration)
this liquid = fitrate

Question 5

glomerular capsule

Answer 5

Bowmen’s capsule

cup-like structure, surrounds gomerulus, collects filtrate

Question 6

renal tubule

Answer 6

series of tubules connected to glomerular capsule;
proximal convoluted tubule
rephron loop (loop of Henle); descending limb and ascending limb in medulla
distal convoluted tubule

Question 7

while moving through tubules, filtrate substances…

Answer 7

may leave tubules (reabsorption into blood)

may remain in tubules, ultimately are excreted in urine

Question 8

nephron types

Answer 8

cortical nephrons

juxtamedullary nephrons

Question 9

cortical nephrons

Answer 9

short loops of Henle; most nephrons

Question 10

juxtamedullary nephrons

Answer 10

long loops of Henle into medulla

Question 11

juxta

Answer 11

close to

Question 12

fenestrum

Answer 12

window

Question 13

collecting ducts

Answer 13

nephrons drain here; liquid now called urine

these drain to renal papilla ->renal pelvis -> ureter -> bladder

Question 14

ureter

Answer 14

retroperitoneal tube, smooth muscle
carries urineto urinary bladder
3 wall layers

Question 15

ureter wall layers

Answer 15

transitional epithelium
muscularis: reversed -longitudinal layer to the inside; circular layer to the outside
adventitia

Question 16

urinary bladder

Answer 16

4 wall layers

1. mucosa
2. submucosa
3. muscularis
4. adventitia (serosa at superior region)

Question 17

mucosa of urinary bladder

Answer 17

has transitional ET layer and rugae

Question 18

trigone

Answer 18

triangular area; 2 ureters enter and urethra exits; no rugae
