Lab and Lecture: Urinary System Flashcards
what surrounds the glomerulus
bowmans/glomular capsule
what is the parietal (outer layer) of the bowman’s capsule made of
simple squamous ET
what is the visceral (inner layer) of the bowmans capsule made of
podocytes that wrap around the capillaries of the glomulerus
function of the glomerulus
filter blood
what is the function of the renal cortex
filtration begins here
function of the minor calyx
collect filtrate from renal pyramids
function of the major calyx
drains urine out of the kidney through ureter
function of the renal medulla
control concentration of the urine filtrate
what organ?
bladder

A structure and function
renal medulla
moderate concentration of urine filtrate
B structure and function
renal papilla
carry filtrate from papllary ducts to minor calyx
C structure and function
minor calyx
collects urine from pyramid
D structure and function
ureter
transport urine from renal pelvis to the bladder
E structure and function
major calyx
drains urine out of kidney through the ureter
F structure and function
renal pelvis
where urine collects and is funneled into ureter
A structure and function
glomerulus
filters blood
B structure and function
interlobular artery
perfusion
C structure and function
proximal convoluted tubule
reabsorbtion of many electrolytes and water
D structure and function
ascending loop of henle
reabsorbs Na+ and Cl- from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid
E structure and function
descending loop of henle
aquaporins allow water to pass from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid
F structure and function
collecting duct
reabsorbs solutes and water from filtrate
G structure and function
distal convoluted tubule
selectively secretes and absorbs different ions to maintain blood pH and electrolyte balance
A
ureter
B
ureteric orifice or uretral opening
C
trigone
D
urethra
E
internal urethral sphincter
A
arcuate artery or vein
B
interlobular artery
C
segmental arteries
D
renal artery
E
interlobar artery
F
renal cortex
A structure and ET
glomerular capsule epithelium
simple squamous
B structure
glomerular capsule space
C structure
glomerulus
D structure and ET
proximal or distal convoluted tubule
simple cuboidal
A structure
efferent arteriole
B structure
glomerulus
C structure
proximal convoluted tubule
D structure and function
capsular space
holds and receives filtrate
E structure
bowman’s capsule
F structure
affarent arteriole
