BECOM 2 Exam #3 Flashcards
(227 cards)
renal blood flow
Renal artery -> segmental arteries -> interlobar arteries -> arcuate arteries -> interlobular arteries (aka cortical radiate arteries) -> afferent arterioles -> glomerulus -> efferent arterioles -> vein
Podocytes and Pedicels
- are cells in the Bowman’s capsule in the kidneys that wrap around capillaries of the glomerulus
- star like projections off of the cell body
Restrict Lamina densa Lamina rarae Fenestraiton Filtration Slits
Lamina densa: Restricts passage of larger proteins (middle)
lamina rarae: restricts passage of organic ions (internal and external)
Fenestration: RBCs and platelets
Filtration slits: small proteins, organic ions
Mesangial cells
- Have contractile properties
- Provide support for capillaries
- Phagocytose mesangial matrix and protein aggregates that adhere to the filter
PCT stain
Darker stain
Slightly larger cells
Occluded lumen
DCT stain
Lighter stain
Smaller cells
Empty lumen
Juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA)
is a specialized sensory organ that helps to regulate blood flow through the glomerulus
macula densa role
monitor the levels of ions in the lumen of the TAL
Glomerulonephritis
Inflammation within the glomeruli
ureteric bud makes up
ureter
renal pelvis
major/minor calyx
collecting duct
metanerphric mesoderm makes up
Connecting tubule distal convoluted tubule loop of henle proximal convoluted tube renal (Bowman's) capsule renal glomerulus
bladder is made from?
- upper portion of the urogenital sinus
- mesonephric ducts are incorporated into the posterior wall of the bladder to form the trigone of the bladder
Renal agenesis vs Unilateral renal agenesis
- occurs when the ureteric bud fails to develop, thereby eliminating the induction of metanephric vesicles and nephron formation
- can be one kidney (assymptomatic) or both kidneys (still born)
abnormal position (ectopic kidneys)
- Failure of the kidneys to ascend
- Pelvic kidneys are close to each other and usually fuse to form a discoid (“pancake”) kidney
Renal fusion
- occurs when the inferior poles of the kidneys fuse across the midline
- A horseshoe kidney may also cause urinary tract obstruction due to impingement on the ureters:
- May lead to recurrent urinary tract infections
Duplications of the urinary tract
ureteric bud divides abnormally or prematurely
urachal cysts
- Remnants of the epithelial lining of the urachus form: urachal cysts
- Abnormal membranous sacs with fluid or semisolid material
urachal sinus
- the patent inferior end of the urachus may dilate
- The lumen in the superior part of the urachus may also remain patent to form a urachal sinus that opens at the umbilicus
urachal fistula
- Allows urine to escape from its umbilical orifice
- urine can seep from bladder to umbilicus
Exstrophy of the bladder
is a deficiency of the anterior abdominal wall resulting from failure of mesoderm to migrate between the ectoderm and endoderm of the abdominal wall
Epispadias
Urethra opens on dorsum of penis and wide separation of the pubic bones
Supernumerary pelvic kidney
Results from the development of two ureteric buds
Renal clearance equation
(U x V) / P
-MUST BE IN mL and mins
Th1
-intracellular virus and bacteria
-Differentiating cytokine: IL-12
Release:
-INF-y: inc NK cells, inc macrophage phagolysosome, CSR -> IgG, inc INF-1 -> anti-viral state
-IL-2: activate CTLs
