Q

what are the two parts of a nephron?

A

corpuscles, tubules

18
Q

site of filtration

A

corpscule

19
Q

responsible for resorption and secretion

A

tubules

20
Q

site of urine production, lined by simple squamous

A

nephron

21
Q

pair of muscular ducts/tube extending from renal pelvis to bladder

A

ureter

22
Q

what direction does the ureter run?

A

inferomedially along the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae, crossing the external iliac artery, then running along the lateral wall of the pelvis into the bladder

23
Q

how does the ureter enter the bladder? why?

A

at an oblique angle to prevent backflow of urine

24
Q

potential sites of obstruction by ureteric stones…

A

junction with renal pelvis (exit renal pelvis), crossing the pelvic brim, passage through bladder wall (enter bladder wall)

25
Q

muscular organ whose walls are lined with detrusor muscle

A

bladder

26
Q

what are the main parts of the bladder?

A

apex, fundus, body, neck

27
Q

what is the function of the bladder?

A

to store and expel urine

28
Q

location of bladder when full / empty

A

full- ascends into the lower abdominal cavity
empty- lesser pelvis

29
Q

thin walled tube, lined by mucous membrane, that extends from the urinary bladder to the exterior of the body

A

urethra

30
Q

smooth triangular region defined by the ureteric orifices and the internal urethral orifice

A

trigone

31
Q

4 regions of male urethra

A

intramural, prostatic, intermediate (membranous), spongy (penile)

32
Q

regions of the male urethra that only pass urine

A

intramural, prostatic

33
Q

regions of urethra that pass urine and semen

A

membranous, spongy

34
Q

5 reasons why women are 30x more likely to get a UTI

A

length of urethra, placement of urethra, sexual conduct, skin of perineum is sensitive to infection, contraception (spermicide)

35
Q

vascorestriction of renal vessels slows urine formation, fight or flight response

A

sympathetic stimulation

36
Q

contracts detrusor muscle of bladder wall causing urination

A

parasympathetic stimulation

37
Q

innervates kidneys & ureters

A

renal nerve plexus, consisting of sympathetic, parasympathetic, and visceral sensory fibers

38
Q

constricts blood flow to kidneys, decreasing overall kidney output

A

sympathetic innervation

39
Q

increases blood flow to the kidneys, increases urine production

A

parasympathetic innervation

40
Q

infection that has to be treated with IV antibiotics, infection that has spread from renal pelvis and calyces to kidney

A

pyelonephritis

41
Q

kidney transplant

A

have to have dialysis to remove urine from blood until transplant, happens in the iliac fossa of greater pelvis
