Chapter 10 Flashcards

urine pathway
kidney to ureters to bladder to urethra
kidney structure and function
cortex is outer, middle slit is hilum
excretes waste
glomeruli
tufts in kidney form afferent arterioles
Kidney portal path
artery to afferent arterioles, to efferent arterioles then second capillaries
vasa recta
capillaries surrounding loop of henle
bowmans capsule
around glomerulus, leads to PCT then dec/ascending LOH, then DCT and collecting duct
detrusor muscle
bladders muscular lining, parasympathetic
internal sphincter
smooth muscle of bladder, contracted at normal state, involuntary
external sphincter
skeletal, voluntary
stretch receptors send message to NS to empty bladder
how does external sphincter signal bladder
PS neurons fire and detrusor muscles contract while internal muscles relax
we decide to relax or maintain external muscles and urinate
aided by abdominal muscles compression on bladder
micturition
external sphincter muscles urinate
osmoregulation
kidneys regulate BV and osmolarity
kidney filtration
blood is filtered as filtrate into bowmans space
uses starling forces for net flow into nephron and filter using glomerular pores based on size
sterling forces of kidney
pressure differential between hydrostatic and oncotic
Hyrdro is higher in glomerulues, lower in bowmans so, fluid flows into nephron
Osmo is higher in Bowmans, opposes fluid into nephron
Hydrostatic overall greater than osmotic
secretion
salt, acid, water, base, urea move into tubule
removes when there is XS in blood or large waste
moves from blood to filtrate
reabsorbtion
solutes from filtrate to blood
take up for use (glucose, vitamins, amino acids)
PCT
reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, salt, water, vitamins
interstitium is where solutes enter and are picked up by vasa recta for return to blood
excretes H, K, ammonia, urea
Loop of Henle
descending to medulla to ascending
descending LOH
water moves, medulla increases osmolarity the deeper in
Max reabs. and conservation of water
more concentrated in interstitium allows water to move out of tubule, into interstitium then blood
ascending LOH
salts, uses the decreasing medulla osmolarity
diluting segment
thicker LOH, cells have more mitochondria so they can use active transport to reabsorb NaCl
hypotonic to filtrate
produces more dilute urine
DCT
responds to aldosterone, increases Na reabsorption and water follows
concentraties urine, decreases volume and produces waste
collecting duct
responds to aldosterone and ADH to increase water reabsorption and concentrates urine output
increases permeability to increase water reabsorption
filtrate leaves and collects at renal pelvis then moves to ureter
countercurrent multiplier
filtrate flow through LOH is opposite of blood through vasa recta
exposes filtrate to hypertonic blood and maximizes water reabsorption
