Session 10 urinary system and fluid electrolyte baance Flashcards
JG apparatus
helps maintain blood pressure and blood volume
when blood pressure is low JG secrete
an enzyme Renin that triggers a system to restore unusual blood volume and blood pressure
when BP is low usually occurs when plasma volume is low
kidneys
clean the blood
maintain electrolyte balance
retroperitoneal (means behind peritoneum)
left kidney is slightly higher than the right kidney
TRUE
FLOW OF URINE
kidneys
ureter (tubes, pipeline of urine)
urinary bladder (storage sac of urine)
urethera
internal structure of kidney
Renal cortex
renal medulla
renal pyramids
renal papilla
renal column
major/minor calyces
renal pelvis
ureter
outer part of the kidney
renal cortex
inner part of the kidney
renal medulla
triangular subdivisions of the medulla of the kidney
renal pyramids
renal papilla
narrow innermost end of pyramid
renal pelvis within the kidney exit kidney via
HILUM
functional unit of kidney
nephron
2 parts of nephron
renal corpuscle
renal tubules
renal corpuscle
bowman capsule
glomerulus
bowman capsule
cup shaped hollow sac surrounding glomerulus
glomerulus
network of tiny blood capillaries
filtration happens beginning of urine formation
afferent arteriole
heading towards glomerulus
delivers blood to glomerulus
efferent arteriole
heading away from glomerulus
drains blood from glomerulus
renal tubules
PCT -> nephron loope/henle loop ->DCT -> collecting duct
nephron loop consists of
straight descending, hairpin turn, straight ascending limb
reabsorption
distal tube of several nephrons join to form a one single
collecting duct (reabsorption and secretion)
filtration
happens in Renal corpuscle filters in glomerulus
transferring materials from tubules to blood.
reabsorption
substances move from blood to tubule
in DCT(reabsorption and secretion) and CD
secretion
