ch 30 urinary system Flashcards
(23 cards)
collection tube
a tubule that recieves urine from many distal convoluted tubules and carries the urine towards the renal papilla of a renal pyramid
detrusor
a small muscle that contracts to push urine from the urinal bladder into the urethra
distal convoluted tubule
the twisted section of the renal tubul formed from the nephron loop several of these tubule merge together to form a collection tube
glomerular capsule
glomerular capsule
a capsule that surround a glomerulus of the nephron also called bowmans capsule
glomerulus
a group pf capillaries in the renal corpuscule
Hilum
hilum
the indented sid eof the lymph node also the medial slit like opening of the kidney through which the renal artery renal vein and ureter enter the renal sinus
lithotrispy
the crushing of a stone in the rrenal pelvic ureter or bladder by mechanical force or sound waves
META
METABALIC WASTE
waste substances produced by healthy body process such as respiration and digestion that are filtered out of the blood by the kidney and execreted through the urine
MICTURITION
the process of urination
NEPHRONS
microscopic structure in the kidney that filters waste products from the blood and form urine
NEPHRON LOOP
the portion of the renal tubule into the renal pyramid and then back into the renal cortex where it becomes the distal convoluted tubule also called the loop of henie
PROXIMLE CONVOLUTED TUBULE
THE PORTION OF THE RENAL TUBULE THAT IS DIRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE GROMERULAR CAPSULE AND BECOMES THE NEPHRON LOOP
RENAL COLUMN
the portion of the renal cortex that extend down between the renal pyramid
Renal corpuscle
nephron structure that is composed of the glomerulus capsule the filtration of blood occurs here
re
RENAL CORTREX
the outter region of the functional portion of the kidney
RENAL MEDULLA
the inner region of the functional portion of the kidney
RENAL PELVIC
The internal structure of the renal sinus in the kidney urine flows from the renal pelvic down the ureter
renal pyramids
triangular shaped areas in the renal medulla of the kidney
RENAL SINUS
The medial cavity forming the nonfunctional portion of the kidney
RENAL TUBULE
STUcture that extends from the glomerular capsule of the nephron and is composed of the proximal convoluted tube the nephron loop the distale convoluted tubule and the collecting duct
tri
TRIGONE
The triangle formed by the openings of the two ureters and the urethra in the internal floor of the uninary bladder
URETERS
long,slender,muscular tubes that carry urine from the kidney in to the urinary bladder
URETHRA
The tube that conveys urine from the urinary bladder to the outside environment during urination
