Urinary Flashcards
Functions of urine
Storage
Excretion
Blood volume regulation
Rbc production regulation
Ion balance, acid base balance regulatio
Each renal papilla projects into a
Minor calyx
Several minor calyces form
Major calyx
Major calyces fuse to form the
Renal pelvic
Renal pelvis collects all the urine from the kidneys and transports it to
Ureter
Flow of arterial kidney blood
Renal artery
Segmental artery
Interlobar artery
Arcuate artery
Interlobular artery
Affarent arteriales
Glomerulus
Efferent arteriole
Flow of venous blood in kidney
Peritubular capilaries
Interlobular vein
Arcuate vein
Interpolar vein
Renal vein
Interlobar arteries that have entered the cortex divide into
Afferent arterioles
The affarent arterioles enter the ___
And for the___
Glomerular capsule
Glomerulus
Where does filtration of blood occur
Glomerulus
The glomerulus become the
Efferent arterioles
They exit glomerular capsules and form capillaries around ducts
What do the peritubular cap and vasa recta drain into
Interlobular veins
(Smallest veins in kidney)
What do the arteries have in kidney that veins don’t
Segmental arteries
Units of a nephron
Renal corpuscle
Prox convoluted tube
Nephron loop
Distal convoluted tube
Two types of nephrons
Cortical nephrons
Juxtamedullary nephrons
Cortical nephrons
Bulk of the nephron is located in the cortex
85% of nephrons are this
Juxtamedullary nephrons
Renal corpuscle near corticomedulary junction
Nephron loop passes deep into medulla
The tubules of the kidney that process the filtrate called __ until it becomes __
Tubular fluid
Urine
