25
kidney stone
nephrolithiasis
26
stone with ureter
ureterolithiasis
27
stone if urinary bladder

28
urine collection system:
1. renal papilla 2. minor calyx 3. major calyx 4. renal pelvis 5. ureter 6. urinary bladder 7. urethra
29
renal artery: enumerate
- segmental artery - interlobar artery - arcuate artery - interlobular artery - afferent artery - glomerulus - efferent artery - peritubular artery
30
renal vein: enumerate
- segmental vein - interlobar vein - arcuate vein - interlobular vein - venules
31
glomerulus filters blood
glomerular filtration
32
part of nephron:
1. proximal convoluted tubule 2. loop of Henle 3. distal convoluted tubule 4. collecting duct
33
renal corpuscle:
1. glomerulus 2. bowman's capsule
34
mechanism of urine:
- glomerulus filtration - tubular reabsorption - tubular secretion
35
two types of nephron
1. cortical nephron 2. juxtamedullary nephron
36
- 85% - shorter - mostly in cortex of kidney - produce standard urine
cortical nephron
37
- 15% - justa/next/to - medulla responsible to antidiuretic hormone - can concentrate urine
juxtamedulla nephron
38
- no pee - dehydrated - bleeding
antidiuretic hormone
39
decrease of urine
oliguria
40
absence of urine
anuria
41
- helps produce red blood cell - produce by kidney
renin erythropoietin
42
kidney error is equal to
anemic
43
transitional epithelium lining
ureter
44
floating kidney
nephroptosis
45
internal - involuntary external - voluntary/control
sphincter
46
behind pubis
retroperitoneal
47
- internal fold - expansion - maximum holding capacity 1L
rugae
48
back of bladder
prostate
49
voluntary at pelvic floor
external urethral sphincter
50
from base to bladder through prostate gland
prostate urethra
51
between prostate gland & base of pelvis
membranous urethra
52
transverses penis to orifice

53

54
ACE stands for
angiotensin concentrated enzyme
