|
Function of the Urinary System? |
Regulates blood volume, blood pressure, pH, ion concentration. Eliminates wastes. |
|
|

Medial Indentation. The entry point of renal artery, renal vein, ureter, nerves. |
|
|
What are the content of the internal anatomy of the kidney? |
Renal cortex, renal medulla. |
|
|
What are the composition of the renal medulla? |
Renal pyramids, renal columns, |
|
|
What is the function of the renal columns? |
Separates the renal column and contains blood vessels
|
|
|
Nephron? |
Functional unit of kidney |
|
|
What is the composition of the Nephorn? |
Renal corpuscle, renal tubules. |
|
|
What is the function of the renal corpuscle? |
Site of blood filteration, urine formation. |
|
|
What are the parts of the renal corpuscle? |
Glomerulus, bowman's capsule and filtration membrane. |
|
|
Glomerulus |
Capillary bed |
|
|
Bowman's capsule |
Surrounds the glomerulus, collects filtrates from the glomerulus. |
|
|
What is the composition of the filtration membrane? |
Glomerular endothelium, basement membranes, podocytes. |
|
|
What are the parts of the renal tubules? |
Proximal convoluted tubules, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting ducts. |
|
|
What are the two types of Nephrons? |
Cortical, juxtamedullary. |
|
|
Cortical |
Renal corpuscles near kidney surfaces in cortex. Short loop of Henle in outer medulla. |
|
|
Juxamendullary |
Renal corpuscle IN cortext near medulla. Long loops. |
|
|
Juxtaglomerular apparatus |

|
|
What are the parts of Juxataglomergular apparatus? |
Tubular Portion, arteriolar portion
|
|
|
Tubular Portion |
Modified DCT cells = macula dense. |
|
|
Arteriolar portion |
afferent arteriolar portion, monitors blood pressure, contains renin. |
