Test 3: urinary Flashcards

1
Q

what are the 9 functions of the urinary system

A

1) removes most metabolic wastes from the body (primary function)
2) regulate plasma Na, K, Cl, Ca, etc
3) regulating BV/BP via: volume of water loss, EPO, renin
4) regulating blood pH (with respiratory system)
5) conservation of nutrients (by preventing excretion via urination)
6) eliminating metabolic wastes (urea, uric acid, toxins, drugs)
7) calcitriol synthesis (vitamin D derivative that stimulates Ca absorption in intestinal tract)
8) detoxifying poisons (with the liver)
9) deaminating AA during starvation

Q

what are the 3 layers of CT that surround and protect the kidney?

A

1) fibrous capsule
- deepest layer, wraps right around kidneys
2) renal fascia
- right and left renal fascia join together in anterior aspect (and attaches to peritoneum)
- most superficial layer
3) perirenal fat capsule
- between the two layers

Q

what are the two types of nephrons? where is each located?

A

1) cortical nephron
- located more in cortex
- 85% of our nephrons
2) juxtamedullary nephrons
- beside medulla

16
Q

where does blood enter the glomerulus? (which pole?)

A

-vascular pole

17
Q

what type of cell makes up the parietal glomerular capsule?

A

-simple squamous epithelium

18
Q

what is the purpose of the juxtaglomerular complex?

A

-helps regulate blood pressure and aids in formation of filtrate

19
Q

list the 5 layers of the renal filtration barrier

A

1) endothelial surface layer
2) endothelial cell layer
3) basement membrane
4) glomerular epithelium
5) subpodocyte space

20
Q

renal filtration barrier: endothelial surface layer

A
  • lining of glomerular capillaries where blood passes

- thick layer - CHO rich network; prevents large proteins from entering

21
Q

renal filtration barrier: endothelial cell layer

A
  • has fenestrated capillaries with pores

- prevents blood from passing, but lets smaller plasma proteins (AAs, glucose, ions)

22
Q

renal filtration barrier: basement membrane

A
  • prevents larger proteins; allows smaller

- regulates diameter of glomerular capillaries

23
Q

renal filtration barrier: glomerular epithelium

A
  • made up of podocytes - visceral capsular layer

- have long processes that create filtration slits

24
Q

PCT histology

A

-simple cuboidal with microvilli

25
Q

what is the role of the PCT?

A

-reabsorption of water, nutrients, ions (Na, Cl) and plasma proteins

26
Q

nephron loop (loop of Henle) - histology

A

-simple squamous

27
Q

what is the role of the descending loop of Henle

A

-water reabsorption

28
Q

what is the role of the ascending loop of Henle

A

-Na/Cl ion reabsorption

29
Q

what is the role of the DCT?

A

-secretion of ions, acids, and other; reabsorption of Na, Ca, and water

30
Q

what hormone controls the collecting duct?

A
  • ADH

- higher levels = more water reabsorption

31
Q

list the structures (in order) where filtrate flows in the nephron)

A
  • efferent arteriole
  • filtration through glomerulus
  • filtrate enters PCT
  • descending loop of Henle
  • ascending loop of Henle
  • DCT
  • collecting tubule
  • collecting duct
  • papillary duct
  • urine storage and elimination
32
Q

in which parts of the nephron does secretion occur?

A
  • PCT
  • DCT
  • collecting duct
33
Q

in which parts of the nephron does water reabsorption occur?

A
  • PCT
  • descending loop
  • DCT
  • collecting duct
34
Q

in which parts of the nephron does solute reabsorption occur?

A

-PCT
-ascending loop
DCT
-collecting duct

35
Q

which hormone affects the DCT?

A

aldosterone

- increases reabsorption of Na and loss of K (increases blood pressure)

36
Q

what are the 3 parts of the renal tubule?

A
  • PCT
  • loop of Henle
  • DCT
