sequence of urine from the kidney
|
minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, urethra
|
|
what does the bowman's capsule contain
|
parietal layer, visceral layer(podocytes), filtration slits
|
|
what type of epithelium does the urinary bladder contain
|
transitional epithelium
|
|
when are kidney's stimulated to produce renin
|
granular cells are stimulated to release renin
|
|
what are the blood vessels of the renal column
|
interlobar artery and interlobar vein
|
|
what gland is on top of the kidney
|
adrenal
|
|
what aretery is the boundary of the cortex and the medulla
|
arcuate arteries
|
|
the glomerulus differs from other capillaries b/c it is drained by...
|
efferent arterioles
|
|
what is the movement of urine through the ureters dependent on
|
strength/frequency of peristaltic waves controlled by the ureteral smooth muscle that responds to stretching
|
|
what is the function of fatty tissue surrounding the kidney
|
protection and attachment to the posterior body wall
|
|
what is the renal corpsucle made of
|
glomerular capsule and glomerulus
|
|
define nephron
|
structural and functional units of the kidney that consists of the glomerulus and renal tubule
|
|
function of juxtaglomerular apparatus
|
consists of justaglomerular cell(granular cells) and macula densa cells that play important roles in regulating the rate of filtrate formation and systemic blood pressure
|
|
purpose of glomerular hydrostatic pressure
|
it is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane
|
|
histology of ureters
|
the ureter wall is trilayered: mucosa(transitional epithelium), muscularis(2 smooth muscle sheets), adventitia(fibrous connective)
|
|
what is the trigger that initiates micturition
|
visceral afferent impulses activate the micturition center of the dorsolateral pons, this center signals the parasympathetic neurons that stimulate contraction of the detrusor muscle
|
|
filtration membrane is composed of
|
3 layers: fenestrated endothelium of glomerular capillaries, veisceral membrane of the glomerular capsule, intervening basement membrane composed of the fused basal laminae of the other layers
|
|
what process is done inorder to reabsorb water by the reanal tubules
|
water moves by osmosis into the peritubular capillaries, a process aided by water-filled channels called aquaporins: obligatory water reabsorption
|
|
what controlls electrolyte reabsorption in the renal tubules
|
aldosterone
|
|
macula densa cells respond to
|
changes in the NaCl content of filtrate
|
|
substance not reabsorbed by the PCT
|
creatinine
|
|
fluid in the bowman's capsule is similar to plasma except...
|
it doesn't contain proteins
|
|
what inhibits the release of ADH
|
alcohol
|
|
function of angeostensin II
|
it acts in 5 ways to stabilize systemic blood pressure and extracellular fluid volume
|
|
what are the 5 ways agneostensin II stabilizes systemic blood pressure and extracellular fluid volume
|
activates smooth muscle of arterioles raising mean arterial blood pressure, stimulates reabsorption of Na, stimulates sypothalamus to release ADH, increses fluid reabsorption, targets the glomerular mesangial cells
|
|
specific gravity of urine
|
ratio of the mass of urine to the mass of an equal volume of distille water; urine: 1.001-1.035 water:1.0
|
|
sequence from formation of urine to its elimination
|
kidney--> ureter-->urinary bladder--> urethra
|
|
type of epithelium of parietal layer of glomerular capsule
|
simple squamous
|
|
parts of the juxtaglomerular apparatus
|
enlarged smooth muscle cells, secretory granules, macula densa, mesanglial cells
|
|
tubular reabsorption by active mechanisms involve what kind of gradient
|
active pumping of Na results in a strong electrochemical gradient
|
|
how much fluid leaves the body daily
|
1.5L
|
|
discuss fetal kidneys
|
by the 5th week final metanephrons develop and become the adult kidney; fetal kidneys do not work hard until after birth b/c the mother's do the work; kidneys develop in the pelvis; 3 different sets of kidneys develop from the urogenital ridges
|
|
describe kidney function in older adults
|
kidney function declines with age, the kidneys shrink as the nephrons decrease in size and number, and the tubule cells become less efficient
|
|
sequence of renal artery branching
|
the renal artery divides into 5 segmental areries--> several interlobar arteries--> arcuate arteries--> cortical radiate arteries
|
|
what controls reabsorption of water
|
aquaporins
|
|
what is the pH suppose to be inthe kidney
|
7.4
|
|
only organ not in a cavity
|
kidney
|
|
where does net filtratoin pressure come from
|
the aorta
|
|
sodium reabsorption...
|
uses ATP
