organs of urinary (4) |
kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra |
|
2 main kidney functions |
eliminate metabolic waste regulate volume and composition of blood fluid |
|
most toxic waste by metabolism |
nitrogenous
|
|
urea |
50% nitrogenous waste, protein catabolism` |
|
uric acid |
nucleic acid catabolism |
|
creatinine |
breakdown of creatine phosphate |
|
nitrogenous waste measure by |
blood urea nitrogen (bun) |
|
4 excretion organs |
respiratory, integumentary, digestive, urinary |
|
adrenal glands |
tops of kidneys |
|
nephron |
1.2 million functional units |
|
kidney is the size |
of a bar of soap |
|
slit where nerves blood and lymph pass |
hilum |
|
3 layers of connective tissue |
renal fascia, adipose tissue, renal capsule |
|
renal fascia |
suspends kidney |
|
renal capsule |
protects |
|
8 kidney structure |
renal sinus, renal papilla, cortex&medulla, columns,renal pyramids, minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis |
|
minor calyx |
Collects urine |
|
circulation in kidney |
aorta, renal artery, segmental arteries, interlobular arteries, arcuate arteries, cortical radiate arteries |
|
nephron circulation |
afferent arterioles, glomerulus, efferent arteriole |
|
renal corpuscle |
blood plasma filtered glomerulus and bowmans capsule |
|
renal tubule |
processes filtrate into urine |
|
3 parts of renal tubule |
proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop, distal convoluted tubule |
|
2 parts of nephron loop |
thick- active transport to reabsorb salts thin- permeable to water |
|
convoluted |
twisted |
|
3 stages of urine formation |
glomerular filtration. tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion, water conservaton |
|
glomerular filtratoin |
only lets water and some solutes through |
|
3 parts of glomerular filtration |
fenestrated endothelium, basement membrane, filtration slits |
|
fenestrated enothelium |
get bloodcells out |
|
basement membrane |
holds back anything over 8 nanometers and its really hard for protein to make it through |
|
filtration slits |
octopus like another barrier |
|
how many liters of urine a day |
1-2L glomerular filtration rate |
|
glomerular blood pressure adjusted by what 3 mechanisms |
renal autoregulation,sympathetic control, hormonal control |
|
renal autoregulation |
nephrons adjust bloodflow through mygenic mechanisms and tubulorglomerular feedback |
|
myogenic mechanisms |
contraction of afferent arteriole |
|
tubuloglomerular feedback |
monitors proximal convoluted tubule |
|
renal autoregulation does not |
prevent changes in glomerular filtration rate or compensate for extreme changes in blood pressure |
|
sympathetic control |
redirects bloodflow to other regions |
|
hormonal control |
raises bloodpressure by reducing water loss, increasing h2o intake, water retention |
|
proximal convoluted tubule (4) |
reabsorb 65% of nutrients removes bad stuff from blood microvilli and length help mitochondria does active transport |
|
nephron loop |
creates salinity gradient so water is sucked out |
|
aldosterone |
salt retaining hormone |
|
atrial natriuretic peptide |
secrete salt when hbp |
|
in lower medulla osmolarity |
is high outside tubule to absorb water |
|
muscle that surrounds bladder |
detrusor |
|
3 parts of male urethra |
prostatic, membranous, and spongy |
|
voiding |
micturition |
|
part of brain that sends bladder is full signal |
pons |
|
2 fluid compartments |
65% intercellular 35% extracellular |
|
sources of water |
metabolic processes, drinking and eating (preformed) |
|
loss of water |
urine, feces, breathing, sweat |
|
thirst center |
hypothalamus |
|
what controls thirst |
osmolarity |
|
fluid dificiency |
water and sodium low |
|
dehydration |
lose more water |
|
fluid excess |
volume excess, hypotonic hydration, fluid sequestration |
|
volume excess |
to much aldosterone or renal failure |
|
Hypotonic hydration |
