|
|
Urinary system 4 parts
|
kidneys ureter bladder urethra
|
|
Renal vein
|
filtered blood is routed away from the kidneys via this vessel
|
|
ureter
|
tube from kidney to bladder
|
|
urethra
|
tube from bladder to outside
|
|
what prevents water from just leaving the bladder and going out the urethra
|
2 spincters there
1 is automatic 1 is controlled consciously |
|
Bowman's capsule
|
infolded region that cups around a ball of blood capillaries
|
|
glomerulus
|
where filtration occurs covered by the bowman's capsule
|
|
Loop of henle
|
composed of a proximal and distal end that is responsible for creating a concentration gradient important for reabsorption
|
|
what is different about the kidney's capillariy system than other capillary beds
|
There is a "portal" system and other beds called peritubular capillaries that reabsorb from the proximal and distal convoluted tubules
|
|
Which 3 features contribute to the hyperosmotic feature of urine
|
Loop of henle
differences in the permeability of the nephron A gradient in the concentration of molecules of the ICF of the kidney These 3 features help conserve nutrients and water balance salts and concentrate wastes. |
|
2 factors that help maintain pressure driving fluid into the bowman's capsule

|
2 types
1. autoregulation 2. hormonal 1 auto, 2 hormones=3 ways |
|
Autoregulation of the kidneys
|
btw glomerulus and the nephron; responds instantly to keep filtration rate constant during small variations in BP. there are signal receptors in the juxtaglomerular apparatus
|
|
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
|
has signal receptors that monitor bp
also secrete renin |
|
RAAS
|
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Balance of water with those antagonistical hormones |
|
how can Na+ be low? several reasons
|
excessive vomiting, heavy sweating, not enough in diet
|
|
Low blood Na+ levels
RAAS |
juxtaglomerular apparatus secretes renin >angiotensin I > agII > inc Blood pressure also stimulates the release of ADH by the neuro hypophysis which inc Na+ reabsorption
|
|
Na + levels too high
|
renin inhibited, at and aldosterone is not secreted.
ANF in heart helps inhibit renin |
|

|
they excrete nitrogenous wats in the form of uric acid crystals. This helps conserve water
