urinary system Flashcards
what is the hilum of the kidney and what is it for?
it is a depression of thin the kidneys surface where vessels and nerves pas where ureter exits the kidneys and the renal pelvis is the proximal end of the ureter
what is the renal sinus
fat filled cavity enclosing the renal atery vein and lymph and the ureter and nerve fibers
what is the capsule of the kidney made out of
outer layer has dense CT collagen and fibroblasts and niner layer has myofibroblasts
what is the cortex of the kidney
outer region, tissue over the base of pyramid is the cortical arch,
what are the renal comums of bertins
consisting of the cortical tissue but resides in the between and is a part of the medulla.
what does the apex of each pyramids drain its unrine into
minor calyx, to major calyx to ureter to bladder to potty,
what is the cortical labyrinth
contains renal corpuscles, convoluted tubes, and collecting tubes
what are the medullary rays
proximal straight, distal and collecting ducts.
what is a uriniferous tubule
a nephron and its collecting tuble
what is a nephrone
is the structural and functional unit of the kidney
what is a renal lobe consist of
medullary pyramide and the underlying cortical tissue and half the column of burton on either side
what is a renal lobule
a collecting duct and all the collecting tubules that connect to it
what are the parts of the nephron
the renal corpusal proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henry, distal convoluted tubule, and the collecting tubule
what are the parts of the renal corpusal
glomerulus capillaries, bowmans capsule, bowmans space, vasuclar pole uninary pole, filtration barrier.
what are the two parts of the bowmans capsule
visceral made of podocytes covers the glomerulys and the pariateial on the outside made of simple squamous epithilium.
