Exam 3 Flashcards
excretory system fun
excretion EPO secretion detoxification fluid regulation waste reduction
excretion
blood filtration
materials filtered out and added back in
secretion and reabsorp
fluid and electro. regulation
EPO secretion
Erythropoietin
stim by low O2
inc RBC production
fluid regulation
controlled by plasma vol and osmolarity affects BP and h2o vol electrolyte balance rate of excretion blood pH H and HCO3 nutrient conservation glucose and aa
waste elimination (N base)
ammonia into urea cycle
converted to uric acid or creatine
uric- non-toxic
creati- product of muscle metab
kidneys
produce urine
filter fluid
ureters
drain kidneys
urine to bladder
urinary bladder
hold urine before elimin
urethra
urine excretion
diff for e/ sex
renal capscule
outermost protective coating
renal cortex
space btw capsule and medulla
renal medulla
house renal columns and pyramids
as inc depth = in O2 conc
renal arteries
blood to kidney of abd aorta
incl afferent and efferent arteries
afferent artery
blood to glomerular
efferent artery
away from golmerular
control GFR by NaCl conce
drain into peritublar cap and renal v
renal v
collect blood from interlobar, arcuate and cortical radiate arteries
transport blood to infer. vena cava
blood filtered and has less waste
carry hormones
nephrons
renal functional unit
open 2 external world
houses tubules
tubules
exchange waste w/ external environ highly vasc inc. peritub cap eff and aff arterioles function in circ and excret exchange large SA for exchange
glomerulus
blood in by filtration
ball of cap
surr by glomerular capsule
flow materials through tubular system
glomerular (filtration)
proximal conv. tubule (bulk, unreg. absorp)
Henle loop (water absorp)
distal conv. tubule (regulation secretions and reabsorb)
collecting duct (urine transport)
renal corpuscle
area btw circ and excret
inc glomerular and glomerular capsule
fun- filtration
corpuscle histology
collection of tissues
inc. glomerular capsule
lined w/ par visceral epithe
incl podocytes and mesengial cells
podocyte fun
in glomerular caps
have filtration slits
control flow mat in and out
mesengial cell fun
in glomerular cap
alter cell v w/ contractile properties
reg. blood flow
mostly remove debris from basement mem.
