Q

Describe the general anatomical characteristics of the Kidneys, Ureters, Urinary bladder, and Urethra

A

Kidneys:
-Paired structures
-depression- hilum
-Have a renal vein; clean blood goes out
-Renal artery; dirty blood comes in and where blood vessels and ureters are connected.
-Ureters exit the kidney (the dirty stuff/urine empties out through the ureters)

Ureters:
-Tubes that carry urine to the Urinary bladder
-Connect the kidneys to the bladder and have two layers of muscle
-Peristalsis is the cause of movement. IT uses smooth muscle; Two layers, circular and longitudinal that pushes urine to urinary bladder

Urinary Bladder:
-Stores Urine
-Expandable (surrounded by smooth muscle)
-Has transitional epithelium tissue
-Has mucosal valves that prevent back flow of urine into kidneys
-Sphincters- circular muscle that contracts
-internal- smooth muscle; no control
-external- skeletal muscle; control
- triggered to open by urethra

Urethra:
-You’ll find transitional epithelium tissue
-removes urine from the body
-short in females 4cm
separate from reproductive, digestive, & urinary for females
-Longer in males 20cm
shares with reproductive tract & urinary; some opening
prostate gland (produces secretions that go into semen)
Male swelling causes pain in urinating
Females have higher risk to UTIs then men

A

Has to get through these 3 barriers:

53
Q

Intrinsic regulates GFR directly in what two forms?

A

Myogenic response- happening @level of blood vessels/ afferent & efferent arterioles.
-arterioles undergo vasoconstriction decrease and vasodilation increase to maintain BP
(generated by smooth myogenic muscle only)

Tubulogolmerar feedback- paracrine signaling through feedback from the distal convoluted tubule
-chemical messenger that travels a short distance.
-not a hormone
-Has Mascula dense cells that are reacting
and detect levels of NaCl in distal convoluted tubule
-secrete paracrines

54
Q

Mascula dense cells secrete what and detect levels of?

A

Paracrines and NaCl

55
Q

Overview of Feedback: Paracrines released are going to cause vasoconstriction that is going to decreases ant of blood & slow down GFR & give proximal convoluted tubule cells more chance to pick up Na.

A

So if we detect that material is passing to slowly or fast we can affect the afferent arteriole & decrease or increase GFR.

56
Q

Extrinsic regulation deals with systemic BP. It involves what two systems?

A

Sympathetic NS
- a drop in BP triggers vasoconstriction (baroreceptors)

Hormonal control

-Both stimulate the prod of pores on the apical surface of collecting ducts.

For aldosterone- its the aqua-Orin-2 (water directly is gonna be taking back up)

For Vasopressin- its the NA+ channels. Reabsorbs more Na.

But in both causes were gonna take in more water and bring up BV up.

96
Q

If dehydrated do we want more Na?

A

No, therefore its Vasopressin

97
Q

If osmolarity is low then we produce___________

A

Aldosterone
-decrease in osmolarity & BP

98
Q

Low blood pressure triggers _____________ release in Aldosterone

A

angiotensin II

99
Q

Increased BV causes increased _________ stretch
which leads to myocardial cells stretching and releasing
___________.

A

-Atrial
-ANP, Atrial Natriuretic Peptides

100
Q

ANP Atrial Natriuretic peptides Target what?

A

kidney, brain, adrenal cortex

101
Q

ANP influences many tissues by:

A

-increasing GFR through vasodilation of afferent arterioles
- decreases Na+ and water reabsorption in the nephron (stops kidneys from reabsorbing to much Na)
-Inhibits aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex
-inhibits vasopressin secretion by the hypothalamus
(which the last two bring up BP)

102
Q

What happens in Micturition?

A

-Urine from the kidneys is transported to the urinary bladder
-Urine leaves the nephron/kidneys through the collecting ducts
-Flows into the renal pelvis
-Ureters connect the kidneys to the urinary bladder
-urine moves through the ureters by peristalsis

103
Q

Where is urine stored?

A

Urinary bladder

104
Q

The bladder has two sphincters. What are they?

A

Internal sphincter
-contracted smooth muscle
-pressure forms it to open

External sphincter
-contracted skeletal muscle ring
-muscle relax
potty training. We can control external

105
Q

Micturition reflex inhibition is a _________

A

learned reflex

106
Q

Micturition reflex inhibition sum up:

When stretch receptors respond to an increased amount of urine, that sends a simple spinal reflex to. the internal sphincter & opens up. Then it also sends a message to the external sphincter to open up but we can continuously keep that external closed since its skeletal muscle that we can control.

A
107
Q

Urine leaves the urinary bladder through the __________

A

Urethra

108
Q

Pyelonephritis is an infection in the _______

A

Kidneys; inflammation of the kidneys due to bacterial infection

109
Q

Cystitis is an infection that causes inflammation in?
Who is more susceptible to it

A

Urinary bladder, and women

110
Q

Two types of symptoms:

A

Dysuria- inflammation/ painful urination

Pyuria- white blood cells in urine

111
Q

Kidney stones is a noninfectious disease that causes_____

A

granules in the renal pelvis

112
Q

Bladder stones result from?

A

poor urine flow
-enlarged prostate
men more susceptible

113
Q

Dialysis is _____

A

removal of blood solutes
