Q

Renal Sinus

A

Q

Describe the pathway from artery to glomerulus

A

Renal artery from aorta dividing into segmental arteries that give rise to:
Interlobar arteries: up renal columns, between pyramids towards corticomedullary junction (boundary between cortex and medulla)
Arcuate arteries: over pyramids
Cortical radiate arteries: up into cortex
Branch into afferent arterioles: each supplying one nephron. Afferent lead to glomerulus (ball of capillaries)

Q

Describe pathway from glomerulus to the heart.

A

Blood is drained from the glomerulus by efferent arterioles
Most efferent arterioles lead to peritubular capillaries
Some efferents lead to vasa recta—a network of blood vessels within renal medulla
Capillaries then lead to cortical radiate veins or directly into arcuate veins
Arcuate veins lead to interlobar veins which lead to the renal vein
Renal vein empties into inferior vena cava
the cortex, peritubular capillaries branch off of the efferent arterioles supplying the tissue near the glomerulus, the proximal and distal convoluted tubules
In the medulla, the efferent arterioles give rise to the vasa recta, supplying the nephron loop portion of the nephron

Q

Ureters layers

A

Adventitia—connective tissue layer that connects ureter to surrounding structures
Muscularis—two layers of smooth muscle with third layer in lower ureter
Urine enters, it stretches and contracts in peristaltic wave
Mucosa—transitional epithelium
Begins at minor calyces and extends through the bladder helps blocking once passes so it doesnt flow back up into ureters

Q

Extrinsic Salivary Glands-

A

Three different pairs connected via ducts and are tubuloacinar glands w/ ductlike system leading to oral cavity. Secrete 1-1.5 L of saliva everyday. Controlled by parasympathetic nerve fibers originating in salivatory nuclei in brainstem near junction of pons and medulla oblongata using glossopharyngeal. Responding to food in mouth, flavor of food, olfactory receptors, free nerve endings, aroma, sight and thought of food. w/ irritants also stimulating it. Cells of the acini gland filter water and electrolytes from blood adding amylase, lingual lipase, lysozyme, and mucus.

75
Q

Parotid gland-

A

located beneath skin anterior to earlobe passing over masseter into mouth opposite molars. If this is inflamed it is called mumps. Facial nerves dives off of.

Q

Submandibular glands-

Q

Sublingual glands-

A

78
Q

Pharynx

A

muscular funnel connecting oral cavity to esophagus and nasal cavity to pharynx. Digestive and respiratory tracts mix. deep layer of longitudinal skeletal and superficial circular skeletal (superior middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictors forcing food downward during swallowing). Upper and lower sphincters remains contracted when no food to keep air out of esophagus- Physiological sphincter not anatomical one*.

79
Q

Esophagus

A

tube that extends from C6 cricoid cartilage through esophageal hiatus meeting stomach at cardial orifice. Lower esophageal sphincter pause food before entering stomach or stop things from going up protecting esophageal mucosa from stomach acid- heartburn reflux of acid up by damage or relaxed. Non Keratinized Stratified squamous epithelium. Submucosa has esophageal glands secreting mucus w/ deeply folded longitudinal ridges relaxed when fills w/ food more space and stands open. Muscularis externa has Skeletal upper ⅓, mix of muscle type in middle, and only smooth muscle in bottom meeting at T7. Covered in adventitia merging w/ trachea and thoracic aorta.

80
Q

Swallowing/ deglutition.

A

Uses 22 muscles in mouth pharynx and esophagus coordinated in swallowing center of medulla oblongata communicating w/ muscles so that they push food all way down. Involves: trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal, hypoglossal. Swallowing occurs in: Three phases
oral
pharyngeal
esophageal

81
Q

oral phase-

A

under voluntary control, chewing tongue collects food, pressing it against palate to form bolus, pushing it posteriorly it accumulates in oropharynx in front of epiglottis, epiglottis tips posteriorly and bolus slides around it on either side into laryngopharynx.

82
Q

Pharyngeal phase-

A

involuntary w/ soft palate and root of tongue blocking things from re entering mouth or nasal cavity. When swallowing breathing is suspended. Infrahyoid muscle pull larynx up to meet epiglottis covering opening w/ vocal cords adducting widening then closing airway. Pharyngeal constrictors contract down pushing it down.

83
Q

Esophageal phase-

A

Peristalsis wave of involuntary contraction occurs all muscle in esophagus contract in waves pushing it down through esophagus to stomach dropping through esophagus faster than peristalsis because of gravity except when lying down. Lower part sphincter allows food into stomach but then closes so doesn’t back up.

84
Q

function of stomach

A

sac of muscle in upper left abdominal cavity inferior to diaphragm. Food storage organ where mechanical breakdown, liquefies it, chemical digestion of proteins and fats forming most digestion after small intestine. Its shape depending on person more vertical in tall people horizontal in short

85
Q

Cardial region-

A

place esophagus meets stomach,

86
Q

Fundic

A

87
Q

body

A
  • middle portion of stomach
88
Q

pyloric region

A
  • narrower inferior pouch at end meets w/ duodenum. Contains the antrum: funnel-like, pyloric canal- narrower surrounded by Pyloric sphincter-thick ring of smooth muscle regulating passage of chyme into duodenum.
89
Q

greater and lesser curvature

A

Greater (inferolateral surface) and lesser curvature (shorter distance superomedial margin) w/ greater and lesser omentum.

90
Q

Circulation of stomach

A

stomach receives parasympathetic from vagus. Sympathetic- celiac trunk into left and right gastric artery all that drained enters hepatic portal filtering through liver before returning. Gastric artery has Gastroduodenal and left and right gastro-oment arteries

91
Q

Gross Anatomy of the Liver-

A

reddish brown gland inferior to diaphragm filling hypochondriac and epigastric regions, largest gland. Four lobes: right, left, caudate (posterior and superior), and quadrate (between gallbladder and left lobe) lobes. From Anterior: Right and left lobe only is separated by

92
Q
