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 |
