Urinary 1 Flashcards
capsulated by dense irregular CT
highly vascularized
kidney
produces glomerular filtrate (water, ions, glucose, urea)
renal corpsucle
contains simple squamous ep. –> glomerular filtrate goes in here
Bowman’s capsule
site of transport of most ions, glucos, amino acids, and water from filtrate back to the blood
simple cuboidal ep.
highly absorptive
reabsorabs Na/Cl/H2O via mem. pumps and channels
proximal tubule
increasingly H2O impereable as move up the loop
NaCl actively pumped out of the tubule into CT of medulla
simple squamous
loop of Henle
simple cuboidal
produces dilute, high volume urine
modifies urine via macula densa, which is part of juxtaglomerular apparatus
distal tubule
stimulates NaCl pumps in henle
aldosterone
elevates water permeability in collecting tubules
decrease urine volume
