17
Q

What is the parietal layer made from?

A

Simple squamous epithelium

18
Q

What is the function of the macula densa?

A

senses changes in blood pessure and electrolytes and then regulates the release of renin from juxtaglomerular cells

19
Q

What is the function of the juxtaglomerular cells?

A

RELEASE RENIN

20
Q

What is the function of mesangial cells?

A

macrophages of the kidney which cn also contract like smooth musle

21
Q

Name the three components of the juxtaglomerular apparatus

A

Macula densa, juxtaglomerular cells, mesangial cells

22
Q

Name the three narrowing in the ureters where stones can get stuck

A

Uretopelvic junction
Pelvic brim
Where the ureter enters the bladder

23
Q

Name the nerves which supply the ureters

A

T11-12

24
Q

Where can referred pain from a ureteric calculus be felt?

A

Back, side, scrotum, labia major, scrotum and anterior thigh

25
Q

What is the arterial supply of the ureters?

A

Renal arteries, ovarian/testicular arteries & abdominal aorta

26
Q

What is the venous drainage of the ureters?

A

Renal veins & Ovarian/testicular veins

27
Q

Name the smooth triangle in the bladder wall

A

Trigone

28
Q

What type of epithelium does the visceral layer of bowman’s capsule consist of?

A

Podocytes

29

Somatic pudental nerve (supplies external urethral sphincter)
Afferent/sensory- pain/distension of the bladder goes via the pelvic and hypogastric (sympathetic) fibres
