Excretory System Flashcards
What is the kidney shape
2 paired, bean shaped structures
Where is the kidney located
below the ribcage at each side of the spine
Kidney sort substance from blood for either ______ or ______
removal of urine
return to the blood
It is the functional unit of kidney
nephron
The purpose of nephron
filtrates blood
clean blood - bloodstream
waste products - urine
It is a small muscular tube lined with transitional epithelium tissue
ureters
Ureters carries the urine from the _____ to the ____
renal pelvis to the urinary bladder
It acts as a reservoir for urine
urinary bladder
The urinary is able to stretch to hold _______
large volume of urine
The maximum storage of urine
1000ml
What is the volume of noticeable discomfort
500ml
What and why is the tissue found in lining of the urinary bladder
transitional epithelium tissue
able to stretch
It is fibromuscular tube that carries urine from ____ to the ____
urethra
Bladder to the exterior of the body
Who has longer urethra? Male or female
male
What are the major organs of the urinary system
kidney
ureters
urinary bladder
urethra
Anatomical parts of the kidney:
It is the outer kidney region, which is lighter in color
renal cortex
Anatomical parts of the kidney:
It is deep into the cortex
renal medulla
Anatomical parts of the kidney:
What is the color of the renal medulla
dark, reddish-brown in color
Anatomical parts of the kidney:
It is a relatively flat, basin like cavity
renal pelvis
Anatomical parts of the kidney:
The renal pelvis is a continuous with the _____ that _____
ureter
waste products enters from blood
Anatomical parts of the kidney:
It delivers blood to the kidneys
renal artery
Anatomical parts of the kidney:
It drains blood out of the kidneys
renal veins
List down all the structures of the nephron
Renal arteries
Glomerulus
Efferent Arterioles
Proximal convoluted tubules
Loop of henle
- descending limb of loop of henle
- ascending limb of loop of henle
Distal convoluted tubules
Collecting tubules
Structure of the nephron:
The function of the glomerulus
filters blood
Structure of the nephron:
How does the blood pass through the renal vein
it passes through the efferent arterioles
Structure of the nephron:
What enters the proximal convoluted tubules
waste products of the blood
Structure of the nephron:
After PCT, where do the waste travel
loop of henle
Structure of the nephron:
The function of the the descending limb of loop of henle
water absorption
Structure of the nephron:
The function of the the ascending limb of loop of henle
sodium, chloride absorption
Structure of the nephron:
The function of the distal convoluted tubules
sodium reabsorption
Structure of the nephron:
The function of the the collecting tubules
water reabsorption
What are the 3 urine formation
glomerular filtration
tubular reabsorption
tubular secretion
identify the urine formation:
it carries water and solute smaller than protein into the capillary walls into the renal tube
Glomerular filtration
identify the urine formation:
it is water water, glucose, amino acids and ions are transported out of the filtrate into the tubule cells and then enter the capillary
Tubular reabsorption
identify the urine formation:
it secretes access H+, K+, creating and drugs are removed from the peritubular and secreted by the tubules cell into the filtrate
Tubular secretion
What are the 2 types of testing of urine
physical examination of urine
chemical examination of urine
What do u have to check for in the physical examination of urine
color
clarity
Identify the color of the urine:
Recent fluid consumption
colorless/ straw
Identify the color of the urine:
Polyuria/ diabetes insipidus
Diabete mellitus
Dilute random specimen
pale yellow
What is diabetes mellitus
removal of glucose in the bloodstream
Identify the color of the urine:
Concentrated specimen
And what does it mean to be concentrated
dark yellow
