lecture 9 Flashcards
transports urine to urinary bladder
ureters
stores urine
urinary bladder
transport urine to outside
urethra
kidney protective covering 3 layers
outer: renal fascia - DICT anchor
middle: adipose capsule - protection
inner: renal capsule
kidney flow
cortex, medulla, calyces, renal pelvis, uterers.
cortex region of kidney
outer region
Bowman’s capsule, glomerulus, PCT, DCT, peritubular capillaries
medulla region of kidney
inner region (contains pyramids)
loop of Henle, CD, vasa recta capillaries
nephron
functional unit of a kidney
nephron blood supply flow
renal arties to afferant arterioles to glomerulus to efferent arterioles to cortex & medulla
Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule
filtration of the blood to produce urine - Can’t filter large substances like RBC, WBC and plasma proteins
PCT
reabsorb (nephron back into blood) 65% of everything (100% glucose and amino acids) and secrete (blood to nephron) Ammonium (NH4)
Descending loop of Henle
reabsorbs H2O
Cortical
80-85%, short loop,
reabsorption
juxtamedullary
15-20%, long loop,
Concentrate urine
____ = glucose
glucosuria (diabetes mellitus)
