|
|
Tubularreabsorption
|
Reabsorbswaterand the useful constituents back from the filtrate
|
|
|
TubularSecretion
|
Secretesunwanted waste products into the tubules
|
|
|
nephron |
It is the basic structural andfunctional unit of kidney. Each kidney contains thousands of nephrons
|
|
|
basic parts of the nephron |
-Glomerulus
-RenalCapsule (Bowman's Capsule) - ProximalConvoluted Tubule (PCT) -Loopof HenleDistalConvolute Tubule (DCT) -CollectingDuct |
|
|
Afferentarteriole
|
takesblood to the Glomerulus
|
|
|
Efferentarteriole
|
exitsaway from the Glomerulus
|
|
|
Glomerulus
|
Itis a network of capillaries interposed in the course of an arteriole
|
|
|
Renal Capsule or Bowman's Capsule or Glomerular Capsule
|
Itis an expanded part of nephron, which surrounds the glomerulus (tuft ofcapillaries).
|
|
|
Renal Corpuscle (Glomerulus + Renal Capsule)
|
Itis the actual site of filtration. The blood from the glomerulus is filteredthrough glomerular membrane. The filtrate passes into the proximal convolutetubule (PCT).
|
|
|
LOOPOF HENLE
|
-Itis U-shaped tube present between PCT and DCT.
-consists ofDescendingpart, loop, and Ascending part |
|
|
URETERS
|
-Eachureter is a muscular tube which transports urine from kidney to the bladder.
|
|
|
renal pelvis |
Thedistended end of ureter in kidney, which receives urine
|
|
|
trigone |
Eachureter opens into urinary bladder near its neck in this area
|
|
|
URINARY BLADDER
|
It is a hollow, muscular organwhich stores the urine
|
|
|
URETHRA
|
Itis the caudal continuation of neck of bladder and carries urine from bladder toexterior.
|
|
|
URINE
|
Madeup mainly of 95% water and some dissolved substances such as nitrogenous wastesand electrolytes
|
