Functions of the kidney

*Control water and blood volume.


*Regulate fluid and electrolyte.


*maintain blood pH.(can eliminate or retain bicarbonate(alkaline).


*active vit. D for bone calcification.


Secretes:


*renin- enzymatic hormone that increase blood pressure to maintain blood flow to the kidney.


*erthropoietin- hormone that stimulates red blood cell production.


*eliminates nitrogenous waste from protein metabolism (urea, creatinine and uric acid), excess salt, drug and toxin.

Location of the kidney.

Located at the lower edge of the ribs.


It is retroperitoneal organ-behind the peritoneum but (outside). Enable surgery on the back without entering the abdominal cavity.


Right side is slightly lower due to liver on the right side.


Adrenal gland is located on top of the kidney.

Renal hilum

Is a notch at the medical side of the kidney through which the blood vessel, nerve enter and ureter exit by the renal pelvis.( attachment of renal pelvis)

Renal cortex

Outer part of the kidney that extends from the base of the renal pyramids to the outer side of the kidney. It contain the renal corpuscles (glomerulus and bowman's capsule).

Renal medulla

Inner half of the kidney which contain the remaining tubules. Descending tubules, loop of Henley, ascending tubules and collecting tubules.

Renal pyramid

Cone shaped structure in the medulla which contain tubules. Where urine is drain.

Nephrons

Functional unit of the kidney.


It is made up of glomerulus and tubules.

3 layers of glomerulus.

*epithelium-outer layer. Has large opening that allows all blood component to pass except rbc.


Middle layer-basement membrane, prevents the passage of large protein (RBC, WBC and protein) by filtration.


Inner layer- endothelium, a thin and porous membrane which covers the basement membrane, made up of podocytes, where the filtered substance pass through.

Urine formation

Blood from afferent arteriole is filtered through the glomerular capillaries. The filtration contain (water, glucose, urea, uric acid, creatine, electrolyte, hormones, drugs and other waste product.) Goes to the bowman's capsule and to the proximal convoluted tubules where most of the filtrate (sugar and electrolyte) are reabsorbed by the peritubular capillaries. Metabolic waste product remain in the tubules.

Stage 1

Filtration.


Happens in the glomerulus to Proximal convoluted to filtrate.

Stage 2

Tubular reabsorption.


Reabsorb glucose and electrolyte. To the peritubular capillaries.

Stage 3

Tubular secretion


Reabsorption of water and sodium by ADH and aldosterone.

Part of renal cortex

Bowman's capsule


Glomerulus


Proximal convoluted tubules (PCT)


distal convoluted tubules (DCT)


Largest part of each nephron.

Part of renal medulla

Remainder of the renal tubules


Loop of henle


Collecting tubules


Renal pyramid

Juxtaglomerular apperatus (JGA)

Consist of glandular cell.


Responsible for maintaining blood pressure.


Allow the tubules to become more moveable to water.

RAA mechanism

Renin stimulate angiotensin 1 change to angiotensin 2 in the presence of a converting enzyme.


Angiotensin 2 causes blood vessel to contrict. Directly raising the blood pressure. Having the urge to be thirsty.

Atrial natriurentic peptide (ANP)

Hormone secreted by cells in the atria of the heart.


Increase kidney filtration and blood flow when blood volume increase.


Promote excretion of both water and sodium through the kidney and suppresses the secretion of ADH and aldosterone.

End stage renal disease

Kidney doesnt function so erythropoietin doesnt produce.

Polyuria

Increase amount of urine

Oliguria

Decrease urine output

Anuria

Absent of urine output.

Nocturia

Excessive urination at night

Enuresis

Peeing during sleep

Hematuria

Blood in urine

Function of the Dick

Secrete hormone that initiate puberty


Maintain specific male characteristics


Secretes mucus, spermatic fluid,and other substances.


Produce sperm


Pass genetic offspring


Testes

Produce spermatoza(sperm cell)


Secrete testosterone (male hormone)


Seminiferous tubules (sperm produce)


Spermatogenesis (sperm maturation and development)


Part of sperm

Head-contain 23 chromosomes


Acrosome-tip of head contain enzyme that dissolve tough cell wall of ovum


Body- has mitochondria to provide energy for movement.


Tail-propel sperm with lashing motion

Epididymis

Final stage of sperm maturation.

Vas deferens

Stores the sperm.

Bulbourethral gland (cowper's)

Produce mucous to lubricate the urethra.

Function of pekpek

Maintain female characteristics


Secrete mucus, vaginal fluid, and other substance.


Produce ova


Pass generic offspring


Maintain and nourish fetus until birth.


Produce milk.

Perimetrium

Serious Outer layer

Myometrium

Muscular layer.


Smooth muscle, increase in size during pregnancy.

Endometrium

Mucous layer.


Form maternal portion of placenta.


Receive fertilized ovum.


Provide housing and nourishment of fetus.

Cervical os.

Opening or mouth of the cervix.

Mons pubis

Girls pubic

Labia majora

Rounded fold of skin with pubic hair

Labial minora

Thin pair of skin fold United just above the clitoris.

Clitoris

Erectile tissue, similar to penis

Vagina orifice

Opening of the vagina

Hymen

Thin mucous membrane over the vaginal opening.

Perineum

Space between the pussy and ass.

Bartholins gland

Lubricate the vagina

Rugae

Expandable fold within the vaginal wall.


Insertion of the penis. Receive sperm


Passage of fetus.

Fallopian tubes or oviducts

Passageway for ovum to the uterus.

Ampulla

Larger portion of oviduct where fertilization occur.

Isthmus

Inner part that is connected to the uterus.

Filbriae
