Test Four Urinary Flashcards
Function of visceral layer of Bowmans
First filtration of blood plasma
What is middle layer between capillary and fenestra
Basement membrane
What makes up the renal corpuscle
Bowmans capsule and glomerulus
Prostatic urethra epi is
Transitional epi
From proximal convoluted tubule the urine goes to
Low of henle
The light area surrounding the dark area of the renal corpuscle is
Lamina rara
The juxtaglomerular cells contain
Granules
Function of distal convoluted tubule
Monitor the concentration of urine, viscosity of urine, ion concentration of urine, tell kidneys how to function with absorption
Granules in juxtaglomerular cells secrete
Renin
What is the urinary pole of Bowmans
Where urine enters the proximal convoluted tubule
Function of loop of henle
Water absorption and concentrate urine
What are the openings called on podocytes
Fenestra
What are the facet cells of the urinary bladder
Responsible for osmotic barrier between urine and tissue fluid
The parietal layer of bowmans capsule rests on
Basal lamina
From loop of henle urine goes to
Distal convoluted tubule
What is the functional unit of the kidney
Nephron
What are juxtaglomerular cells
Modified smooth muscle cells
Urinary system is made up of
Kidney, ureter, bladder and urethra
What is circulating in between capillaries
Mesangial cells
The cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have what nucleus
Central
In female, urethra epi
Stratified squamous non keratinized and possible pseudostratified columnar
Function of collecting duct
Collect end urin
Thin segment of loop of henle lined with
Simple squamous to allow water movement
What are fenestra
Slits that allow certain size molecules to pass through and blocks RBCs from entering urine
The visceral layer surrounding the glomerulus is made up of
Podocytes
Function of ureter
Transport of urine from kidney to urinary bladder
The lamina densa forms barrier for
Large molecules
Function of littre gland
Secrete mucous to capture pathogen
Function of macula densa
Relay information such as osmolarity in tubule and regulates glomerular filtration
Epi of penile urethra
Pseudostratified columnar
Urine is nothing more than
Modified blood plasma
