Post Test 2 Notes Flashcards
The corpus luteum causes the secretion of which 2 sex steroids?
Estrodiol
progesterone
an erection is caused by
a change in blood flow
What causes ovulation?
A spike in estrogen
uterine wall becomes thicker
perfect time to implant an egg
outer portion of the kidney
renal cortex
How do birth control pills work?
Gives estrogen and progesterone without LH therefore woman cannot ovulate
Sexual excitement (in males) leads to:
IN THE PENIS:
- decrease SYMPATHETIC
- increase PARASYMPATHETIC
- dilation of arterioles
- increase blood flow
IN THE HEART:
- increase SYMPATHETIC
- increase HR and CO
Emission
movement of sperm from epididymis to ejaculatory duct and secretion from seminal vesicles and prostate (caused by sympathetic input to smooth muscles)
how does the kidney filter out blood?
solutes leave the base of the medulla as URINE and is drained into the RENAL PELVIS
renal medulla
inner portion of the kidney
What are pregnancy tests testing for?
Chorionic Gonadotrophin
Ejaculation
Moving sperm through the urethra out of the body
comination of parasymathetic and sympathetic input
follows emission
Fetal hormone only present in mother when she is pregnant
Acts like LH
Chorionic Gonadotrophin
4 embryonic membranes
- amnion
- chorion
- allantois
- yolk sac
inner portion of the kidney
renal medulla
Renal Development
Kidney structures develop frm back to front
1st structure: pronephros
2nd structure: Mesonephros tubules
Estrogen and Progesterone cause
shut down LH production
atrophy of corpus luteum
Moving sperm through the urethra out of the body
comination of parasymathetic and sympathetic input
follows emission
Ejaculation
movement of sperm from epididymis to ejaculatory duct and secretion from seminal vesicles and prostate (caused by sympathetic input to smooth muscles)
Emission
FSH
Stimulates follicles to grow
increases recepors of LH
Sympathetic activity to bulbourethral gland
Lubrication
renal cortex
outer portion of the kidney
Lubrication
Sympathetic activity to bulbourethral gland
What happens when a woman gets pregnant?
Secondary oocyte comes into contact with sperm
uterine lining is maintained by:
high estrogen and progesterone levels
chorionic gonadotrophin is released from placenta in order to maintain corpus luteum
Where is urine collected
ureter
where everything is drained into
renal pelvis
Path of urine through the kidney
nephron –> glomerulus–> bowman’s capsule–> proximal convoluted tubule –> loop of henle–> distal convoluted tubule–> collecting duct–> major calyx–> minor calyx–> renal pelvis–> ureter–> bladder–> urethra–> urethral orifice
2 types of nephrons
Cortical nephron and juxta medullary nephron
bowman’s capsule
after glomerulus and before proximal convoluted tubule
has two layers
surrounds glomerulus
Cortical nephrons
has short loops of henle
85% of nephrons in kidney
located in cortex of kidney
Junta medullary nephron
Served by the efferent and afferent arerioles
what is the cause of blood movement through bowman’s capsule?
pressure changes
what is the flomerular filtration rate
115-125 ml fluid/min
job of proximal tubule
reabsorb fluids
65% of fluids that enter the proximal tubule are reabsorbed
fluids that leave the promixal tubule has a different conentration than when they entered
diabetes mellitus
too high of blood glucose
transporters are overwhelmed in the distal tubule which leads to glucose going through the distal tubule into urine
Job of the distal tubule
regulate salt content
does not change the concentration of fluid
Function of the loop of henle
set up concentration gradient in the intersitial fluid inthe medulla
increase the concentration going down and decrease the concentration going up
the filtrate is less concentrated when it leaves compared to what enters
What happens if you drink 800 ml of water
you will want impermeable walls of the collecting duct (water will not be reabsorbed, dilute urine will be excreted)
INHIBIT ADH
How is the permeability of the collecting duct changed?
Hormones from the posterior pituitary
ADH
ADH
causes you to retain water
makes collecting duct permeable to water
decrease osmo conc–> means you have lost water, inhibits ADH
increase osmo conc–> stimulate ADH
