Ultrastructure of vessels and glomerulus- Sayner Flashcards
glomerulus + surrounding bowman’s capsule
renal corpuscle
how much urine does the kidney produce a day
1.5 L
urinary system functions (A wet bed)
“A wet bed”
Acid-base balance
water balance
electrolyte balance
toxic waste excretion
bp
erythropoietin and vitamin D production
region where major vessels enter and exit the kidney
Hilum
1 renal pyramid and surrounding columns make up what
renal lobe
average number of renal lobes 1 kidney has
8-12
2 things that make up uriniferous tubule
nephron
collecting tubules/ducts
what makes up nephron
renal corpuscle
PCT
loop of henle
DCT
connecting tubule
the renal corpuscle is found only where
the cortex
nephron where the loop of henle dives deep into medulla
juxtamedullary nephron
nephron where loop of henle doesn’t dive down as deep into medulla
cortical nephron
benefit of having deep loop of henle in the medulla
can concentrate the urine better (osmotic gradient is in medulla)
what percentage of cardiac output do the kidneys receive
25%

back out same way through veins
1st capillary bed of kidney
glomerulus
where is the ultrafiltrate originally produced
glomerulus
2nd capillary beds (from efferent arteriole)
- peritubular capillaries
- vasa recta
2nd capillary bed of kidney that is located in cortex and surrounds PCT and DCT
peritubular capillaries
2nd capillary bed of kidney that is in medulla and surrounds loop of henle
vasa recta
renal lobe (cortex on outside and medulla on inside)
artery b/t medulla and cortex
arcuate a.
vertical projections off of arcuate a.
interlobular a.
between adjacent interlobular arteries
renal lobule
loop of henle, connecting and collecting tubules and ducts radiate into and out of medulla
medullary ray
where are medullary rays located
CORTEX
interlobular arteries, afferent and efferent arterioles; renal corpuscles; convoluted tubules; peritubular capillaries make up what
cortical labyrinths
top arrow
bottom arrow
top: medullary rays
bottom: cortical labyrinth
medullary rays and cortical labyrinths found where
cortex
loop of henle, collecting ducts—duct of bellini as you get deeper(large duct), papilla, vasa recta
renal medulla
does the medulla contain lymphatics
no
what gradient is found in medulla
osmotic gradient (concentrates urine)
CT and ECM that surround uriniferous tubules and vasculature of kidney
renal interstitium
made up of mostly basement membrane (w/ fibroblast like cells and macrophages)
cortex
closer to papilla and has myofibroblast like cells
medulla
the 2 layers of fibrous capsule that surrounds kidney; what do they contain
outer and inner and contain fibroblasts and collagen
Bowman’s capsule + glomerulus
renal corpuscle
epithelium around glomerular capillaries is modified into what
podocytes
bowman’s/glomerular capsule contains what 2 epithelium
parietal (capsular)
visceral (podocytes)
in the glomerulus, capillary tufts enter and exit through what
vascular pole
what produces ultrafiltrate
renal corpuscle
pole in b/t parietal epithelium of bowmans capsule and cuboidal cells of PCT
tubular pole
vascular pole
vascular pole
diseases that affect the structure and function of the renal glomerular apparatus
glomerulonephropathies
inflammation leads to damage of glomerular basement membrane (ex. goodpastures); hematuria
nephritic syndrome
3 layers of renal corpuscle (filtration barrier)
- fenestrated endothelium of glomerular capillary
- glomerulus basement membrane
- visceral epithelium of Bowman’s capsule (podocyte)
filtration slits that are b/t _____ of podocytes
pedicels
where does filtrate go when in renal corpuscle
through pedicels of podocytes into endothelial fenestrae
actin, Neph and FAT proteins make up what of podocytes
filtration slits
