Anatomy Final (Urinary System)

Front 1

what are the functions of the urinary system

Back 1

filter blood
produce,store,excrete urine
regulate blood and interstitial fluid volume
red blood cell production

Front 2

name the four tissue layers surrounding the kidney from deep to superficial

Back 2

fibrous capsule
perinephric fat
renal fascia
paranephric fat

Front 3

be able to draw/label/list in order the blood supply within the kidney

Back 3

.

Front 4

label a diagram of the kidney

Back 4

(in notes)

Front 5

what are the 3 main processes that occur in the nephron to form urine

Back 5

filtration
reabsorption
secretion

Front 6

how do you differentiate between cortical and juxtamedullary nephrons?

Back 6

length of loop of henley and location of renal corpuscle

Front 7

are cortical or juxtamedullary nephrons more common

Back 7

cortical

Front 8

what are the tubular components of a nephron?

Back 8

proximal convolutes tubules
distal convoluted tubule
loop of henle
renal corpuscle

Front 9

what capillary networks surround the tubules of a nephron

Back 9

peritubular and...(?)

Front 10

what are the two main components of the renal corpuscle?

Back 10

glomerulus and glomerular capsule

Front 11

what are the components of the filtration membrane

Back 11

endothelium
filtratin slits
basement membrane

Front 12

how do podocytes help the nephron accomplish its goal of blood plasma filtration

Back 12

foot projection of the podocytes wrap themselves around the capillaries and leave slits in between where blood is filtered through

Front 13

what is the primary function of the proximal convoluted tubules

Back 13

reabsorb nutrients leaked through the filtration membrane

Front 14

what is the primary function of the loop of henle

Back 14

facilitate in the reabsorption of water and solutes

Front 15

what is the primary function of the distal convoluted tubules

Back 15

secrete potassium and hydrogen into tubular fluid

Front 16

what is the primary function of the collecting duct

Back 16

concentrate urine

Front 17

what are the components of the juxtaglomerular apparatus

Back 17

juxtaglomerular cells
macula densa

Front 18

why is the juxtaglomerular apparatus important

Back 18

regulation of blood pressure

Front 19

what type of tissue is each JA cell derived from

Back 19

epitheleal

Front 20

describe the microscopic anatomy of the ureters

Back 20

mucosa
muscularis
adventitia

Front 21

describe the microscopic anatomy of the bladder

Back 21

mucosa
submucosa
muscularis
adventitia

Front 22

what kind of epithelium lines the ureters and bladder lumen

Back 22

transitional epithelium

Front 23

why is this important

Back 23

allows to stretch and expand

Front 24

where in the body will you find rugae?

Back 24

mucosa and stomach

Front 25

what is the function of the urethra

Back 25

removal of fluids from the body

Front 26

what sphincters control the release of urine

Back 26

internal urethral sphincters
and external urethral sphincters

Front 27

what kind of epithelium do you expect to find in the urethra

Back 27

stratified squamous
