Urinary Flashcards
Functions of the Urinary System
1) Forms/store Urine 2) Excrete urin 3) Blood Volume regulation 4) RBC production
Urinary Organs
Kidneys 2) utterers 3) Urinary Bladder 4) Urethra
Kidneys Location and layers
Retroperitoneal 4 Layers: Fibrous capsule ;Perinephric fat; Renal fascia; Paranephric Fat
Kidneys Made from
1) Cortex 2) Medulla 3) Column 4) Pyramids(produces urine) 4) Minor and Major Calyces 5 Renal Pelvis 6) Ureters
What parte of the Kidney projects into the minor calyces
The apex (papillae)of the Pyramids
What doe the Ureter connect
Kidneys and Bladder
Lobes of the Kidney
Pyramid and cortical tissue
How Blood Travel through Kidney
) Renal Artery -> Segmental Art -> interlobar art -> arcuate art -> interlobular art -> afferent arteriole -> Glomerulus -> efferent arteriole -> Peritubular OR vasa recta -> interlobular VEINS -> arcuate Veins -> interlobar veins -> Renal Veins
What are the Function units of the Kidney(were urine is formed)
Nephron
Nephron Parts
1) Renal Corpuscle (Glomerulus and Bowman capsule) 2) Proximal convoluted tubule 3) Loop of Henle 4) Distal convoluted tubule 5) Collecting ducts
Types of Nephrons
1) Cortical; edge of cortex short loop 2) Juxtamedullary; cortex medal border Long loop
Urine Formation by Nephrons
1) Filtration 23) Tubular reabsorption 3) Tubular secretion
Bowman’s Capsule (glomerular)
Visceral layer with Podocytes; pedicetts and filtration slits and a outer parental layer
Glomerulus has what Char
Fenestrated
Kidney tissue
simple Cuboidal
