unit 3 urinary system Flashcards
function of kidneys
regulation of extracellular fluid
what do the kidneys regulate?
- blood volume
- electrolytes and ions
- pH
- waste products
- hormones, EPO
- vitamin D
what is the urine flow?
- kidneys
- ureters
- bladder
- urethra
renal ptosis
kidneys drop in body
loss of fatty tissue that hold in place
nephron
responsible for forming urine
what are the tubular pats of the nephron?
1,glomerular capsule- filtration
- proximal convoluted tubule- cuboidal, microvilli; reabsorption
- descending loop of Henle
- ascending loop og henle
- distal convoluted tubule- secretion
- collecting duct
glomerulus
mass capillaries in capsule that give rise to filtrate
afferent arteriole
supplies blood to glomerulus
bid in diameter
efferent arteriole
delivers blood to capillaries
small diameter
glomerular capsule
cup shaped, hallow around glomerulus
- parietal layer- sse
- visceral layer- on glom.
- podocytes; feet
filtrate must pass through?
- capillary fenstrate
- glomerular basement membrane
- visceral layer with podocytes
what are the two types of nephrons?
- cortical nephrons- 85%, outer part
2. juxrameduallry nephrons- have long LH, concentrate urine
juxtaglomerular complex
regulating filtrate formation and blood pressure
- ascending limb
- afferent and efferent
what are the three cell populations in juxtaglomerular complex?
- macula densa- asc. limb, Na+
- granular cells- message from macula, afferent, renin
- extraglomerular mesagila cells- connect first 2
what is apart of urine formation and blood regulation?
- glomerular filtration
- tubular reabsorption
- tubular secretion
glomerular filtration rate
volume of filtrate produced by both kidneys each minute
