(264 cards)
What are the components of the Urinary System?
Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, Urethra
Function of the Urinary System
Excretion: getting things out of blood
Elimination: getting things out of the body
Homeostasis: maintain fluid balance
What part of the urinary system produces urine( excretion)
Kidneys
What part of the urinary system carries urine outside of the body (elimination)?
Urethra
What organs are classified as retroparitineal?
*THINK SADPUCKER
Super Renal glands Aorta Duodenum Pancreas Ureters Colon (partial) Kidneys Esophagus Rectum
Be able to Trace the flow of urine
Glomerulus—>
proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) → nephron loop (descending → ascending) → distal convoluted tubule (DCT) → connecting tubule → collecting duct → renal papilla → minor calyx → major calyx → renal pelvis → ureter → urinary bladder → urethra
Drains fluid in
Ureters
Drains fluid out
Urethra
Folds of the bladder are called?
Rugae
Bladder fills from _______ ___
Why?
Bottom up
Due to the amount of room in bladder. More room on bottom of bladder- linguistics!
Be able to trace blood flow to kidneys?
- Renal Artery
- Sagmental arteries & veins
- Lobar arteries and veins
- Interlobular arteries & veins
- Arcuate arteries & veins
- Cortical radiate arteries(interlobular) & veins
- Afferent arteriole
- Glomerulus
- Efferent arteriole
A. Leads into peritubular capillaries (always)
B. Vasa recta (sometimes)
This is driven by pressure
Filtration
Filtration is moving from _______ —-> _______
Blood to filtrate
Or glomerulus to capsule
This is not driven by pressure but involves keeping fluid
Reabsorption
Reabsorption moves _________ to __________
Tubule/nephron to blood
Specifically: tubular fluid –> interstitial fluid—> blood
Driven by concentration gradient
Secretion
Secretion moves _______ to ______
Blood —–> tubular fluid
Or
Perit cap—–> DCT
This limb is permeable to sodium and chloride
Ascending Limb
This limb is permeable to water
Descending limb
As _______ moves out of the ascending limb into the interstitial fluid it draws _______ out of descending limb by osmosis
Sodium and chloride
Water
Where is Urea reabsorbed?
Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)
When Hydrostatic Pressure is greater than osmotic pressure what happens?
Filtration
Amount of filtration per minute
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
The plasma concentration of compound/ion when it begins to show up in urine
Renal Threshold
