Urinary Flashcards
How does renin control fluid volume?
Renin
Reabsorbs Na+ through aldosterone release from adrenal
Angiotensin II is made and allows vasoconstriction
What are endocrine products the kidney makes?
Renin
Erythropoietin
Vitamin D metaboltes
Renin purpose
Regulates blood volume/pressure
Erythropoietin purpose
Acts on bone marrow to make new erythrocytes
Vitamin D metabolites
Conversion of Vitamin D to dihydroxycholecalciferol which regulates Ca2+ transport
What is the basic functional unit of the kidney
Nephron
What makes up the renal corpuscle
Glomerulus
Bowman’s capsule
What are the arteries for renal vasculature supply
Renal a Interlobar a Arcuate a Interlobular a (radial) Afferent glomerular arterioles
What are the two types of nephrons
Cortical and Juxtamedullary
Renal vasculature drainage route of cortical nephrons
Efferent glomerular arteriole Peritubular capillary network Stellate v Interlobular v Arcuate v Interlobar v Renal v
Juxtamedullary nephron renal vasculature drainage
Efferent glomerular arterioles Vasa recta Arcuate v Interlobar v Renal v
What is in the glomerulus of the renal corpuscle (4)
Tuft of capillaries (fenestrated)
Intraglomerular mesangial cells (support)
Afferent glomerular arteriole supply
Efferent glomerular arteriole drain
What is in Bowman’s capsule of the renal corpuscle (3)
Visceral Layer: Podocytes that are S.S.E to allow filtration
Bowman’s Space
Parietal layer
What are the 3 mechanisms for filtration?
Fenestrated S.S.E
Thick basement membrane
Podocytes
What is the longest, widest, and most well developed segment of the nephron?
PT
Where is the PT confined?
Renal cortex
Where are the tubular portions of PT located?
pars convoluta
Where are the straight portions of PT located?
pars radiata
PT reasborbs what percent of ions and water of the ultrafiltrate?
75
PT reasborbs what percent of glucose, AA, and proteins of ultrafiltrate?
100
What percents of organic solutes, drugs, and toxins are reabsorbed in PT?
All excreted
What classification of cells line the PT
S.C.E
T/F Cells that make PT sit on a well defned basement membrane
T
T/F There is a well developed brush border in PT
T
T/F Nuclei in PT are apical located
F
Basally
T/F Juxtamedullary nephrons have shorter LOH than cortical nephrons
F
Longer
What is the fxn of LOH (2)
Generate high osmotic pressure in EC fluid of medulla (counter-current multiplier system)
Reabsorption of water back into circulation bia vasa recta (counter-current exchange system)
LOH cell classification
S.S.E
