Q

What are juxtaglomerular cells?

A

Specialized smooth muscle cells of the afferent arterioles (and efferent)

Stimuli =

  • Macula densa prostaglandin in repsonse to lowered [Na+]

Outcome = release of renin

Q

What are macula densa cells?

What stimulates them?

What is the outcome of stimulation?

A

Specialized cells packed tightly in the DCT at the point where it comes in contact with the glomerulus

Stimuli

Outcome

  • Prostaglandin release to stimulate JG cells to release renin
  • NO and prostaglandin release to stimulate vasodilation of afferent arteriole

Q

What are the basolateral and apical channels for the principal and intercalated cells (A and B) of the late DCT and cortical collecting duct?

A

Late DCT apical = Na+ channel (passive; inside), K+ channel (passive; lumen)

Late DCT basolateral = Na+/K+ ATPase, Cl- channel (passive; blood)

Intercalated A apical = H+ ATPase (lumen), H+/K+ ATPase (H+ lumen, K+ cell), Cl- channel (passive; lumen)

Intercalated A basolateral = HCO3-/Cl- antiporter (HCO3- blood, Cl- cell), K+ channel (passive, blood)

Intercalated B apical = HCO3-/Cl- antiporter (HCO3- lumen, Cl- cell), K+ channel (passive, lumen)

Intercalated B basolateral = H+ ATPase (blood), H+/K+ ATPase (H+ blood, K+ cell), Cl- channel (passive; blood)

Q

What are the layers of the ovary (starting from inside and moving out)

A
  1. Ovarian medulla = loosely arranged connective tissue with vasculature/lymphatics/nerves
  2. Ovarian cortex = outer layer of the ovaries containing the oocytes in all their stages
  3. Tunica albuginea = white capsule of dense irregular connective tissue
  4. Germinal epithelium = simple epithelium covering the surace of the ovary

Q

Define the following:

  1. Follicular cells
  2. Granulosa cells
  3. Theca cell
  4. Mature follicle
  5. Corpus luteum
  6. Corpus albicans
A
  1. A single layer of cells surrounding an oocyte; develop into granulosa and theca cells
  2. Layers of cells directly surrounding the oocyte; responds to FSH; produces estradiol
  3. A layer of cells surrounding the follicular cells; responds to LH; produce androgens
  4. Large fluid-filled follicles ready to rupture and expel the oocyte
  5. Remnants of a mature follicle
  6. The degernated product of corpus luteum

Q

What are two specialized cells in the mucosa of the fallopian tubes? What is the function of each?

A
  1. Ciliated cells –> move oocyte/ovum to the uterus
  2. Peg cells –> microvilli that secrete fluid to provide nutrition to the ovum

Q

What are the 3 layers of the uterus?

A
  1. Endometrium (epithelium+ stroma + endometrial glands)
  2. Myometrium (inner thing long + middle thick circular + outer thin long)
  3. Perimetrium = serosa (becomes broad ligament)
17
Q
  1. What are 2 types of cells making up the endometrium?
  2. What are the functional layers of the endometrium?
A
  1. Ciliated and secretory
  2. Stratum basalis (permanent) and stratum functionalis (sloughs off)
18
Q

What are the 3 layers of the vagina?

A
  1. Mucosa (epithelium + glycogen –> organic acids)
  2. Muscularis (inner long + outer circular)

19
Q

Explain the internal structure of the mammary gland:

A

Each gland has 15-20 lobes separated by adipose tissue

Each lobe has multiple lobules embedded in connective tissue

Contractile myoepithelial cells surround each lobule

Each lobule is composed of alveoli (make the milk) that drain into a secondary tubule

20
Q
A
21
Q

Explain the internal structure of the testes.

What are the 2 layers surrounding the testes?

A

Testis are divided into lobules

Lobules each contain 2-3 seminiferous tubules embedded in interstitial/leydig cells

Each seminferous tubule has a basement membrane, sertoli cells, spermatogenic cells (sperm precursors), and a lumen

Testes are surrounded by tunica albuginea (dense irregular connective tissue)

Tunica albuginea is partially surrounded by tunica vaginalis (serous membrane derived from peritoneum)

22
Q

Label the following image of the seminiferous tubules:

23
Q

What are sterocilia? Where are they located? What is their function?

A
  1. Epithelium
  2. Smooth muscle
  3. Connective tissue with blood and nerves
