Unit 12 & 13 Flashcards
Pertaining to kidney
renal, nephro
Absence of urine formation by kidneys
anuria
Only scant amount of urine produced
oliguria
Excessive urination
polyuria
Two whats and one what (ureter/urethra)
Two ureters, one urethra
Kidneys filder blood to produce urine by
Blood filtration/absorption/secretion, fluid balance regulation, acid-base balance & regulation, hormone production
Which kidney is located more cranially
Right
Located where in relation to abdominal cavity
Retropetironeal (outside parietal peritoneum)
Kidneys bean shaped, except lobulated in
Cattle
What enters the hilus
Blood, lymph vessels, ureters enter & leave kidney
Layers of ureters
Outer fibrous, middle (smooth) muscle, inner (transitional) epithelial
Angle that ureters enter urinary bladder
Oblique, prevents urine from backing up into the ureter being that it collapses if the bladder is full
Bladder composed of what two parts
Muscular sac, neck
Urination, micturition, and uresis all describe
Urine from bladder - urethra- out of body
2 step process of urination
Urinary bladder constantly accumulates urine. Trigger point eventually reached, spinal reflex is activated that returns the motot impulse to the bladder muscles and causes them to contract
Describe female urethra
Short, straight, wide
Describe male urethra
Long, curved
Uroliths common in what animals
Cattle, sheep, goats, cats, dogs
Convoluted means
Twisted
Fenestrations means
Small holes/ pores
Majority of nephron located where
Renal cortex portion of kidney
Renal corpuscle composed of what, does what
Glomerulus & Bowman’s capsule, filters blood
Allows fluid and water soluble waste to leave blood and enter the nephron
Glomerulus
Holds fluid/waste filtered out of blood
Bowman’s capsule
Continuation of Bowman’s capsule, follows a convoluted path through renal cortex
Proximal convoluted tubule
Between the convoluted tubules, descends into medulla of the kidney then makes a U-turn and goes back to the cortex
Loop of Henle
Continuation of Loop of Henle
Distal convoluted tubule
Distal convoluted tubule dumped into the collecting ducts that carry filtrate through medulla and then empty into the
Renal pelvis, leads to ureter
Up to what % of blood goes to the kidneys
25%
All circulating blood passes through the kidneys in how many minutes
4-5 minutes
Blood flow in kidney
Renal artery, arteries, arterioles, afferent glomerular arterioles, glomerular capillaries, efferent glomerular arterioles, peritbubular capillaries, venules, veins, renal vein
Filtrate flow in kidney
Renal corupuscle, PCT, Loop of Henle, DCT, collecting ducts
Glomerular capillaries contain fenestrations, the high blood pressure causes plasma to leave the capillaries and enter the Bowman’s capsule. This step called
Filtration
Occurs in proximal & distal convoluted tubules, substances taken to peritubular capillaries instead of out of body. This step called
Reabsorption
Other waste products must be removed, occurs in distal convoluted tubule. This step called
Secretion
Examples of what body wants to keep
Na, K, Ca, Mg, glucose, amino acids, chloride, bicarbonate, water
Examples of what body wants to get rid of
H, ammonia, excess K
