path of urine drainage

Question 1

What is the path of urine drainage?

Answer 1

collecting duct—>papillary duct—> Minor calyx—-.Major calyx—-> Renal pelvis—->Ureter—>urinary bladder

Question 2

Although kidneys constitue less than 0.5% of total body mass, they receive

Answer 2

20-25% of resting cardiac output

Question 3

Nephron is considered the

Answer 3

function/filtering unit

Question 4

The nephron has a 2 step process what is it

Answer 4

1) Glomerulus- filters blood
2) Tubule- returns needed substances back to blood and removes waste

Question 5

What is the path flow of blood

Answer 5

renal artery—>segmental arteries—>Interlobar artery—>arcuate artery—>cortical radiate artery—>afferent glomerular arterioles—> Glomerular capillaries—>Efferent glomerular arterioles—>Pertibular capillaries—>pertibular venules—> cortical radiate veins—>Arcurate veins—> Interlobar veins—>Renal vein

Question 6

The renal corpuscle consists of two parts. What are they?

Answer 6

1) Glomerulus- A mass of capillaries that is fed by the afferent arteriole and drains into the efferent arteriole

2) Glomeruar (Bowman’s) capsule- This has a visceral layer of podocytes, which wrap around the capillaries. The filtrate is collected between the visceral and parietal layers.

Answer 7

A mass of capillaries that is fed by the afferent arteriole and drains into the efferent arteriole

Question 8

Answer 8

This has a visceral layer of podocytes, which wrap around the capillaries. The filtrate is collected between the visceral and parietal layers.

Question 9
