What blood vessel that's associated with nephrons are part of the kidney's urine concentrating mechanism? a. Vasa recta b. Peritubular capillaries c. Nephron Loop d. Glomeruli
Vasa Recta
What blood vessel that's associated with nephrons are thin-walled looping vessels that descend into the medulla?
A - Efferent Arteriole B - Afferent Arteriole
What is A? What is B?
Medulla
What is B?
Urethra
What is G pointing to?
Renal Cortex
What is the arrow point to?
Renal Pelvis
What is the arrow pointing to?
Skeletal muscle
What is the external sphincter of the urethra made of?
filtration of the blood
What is the function of the glomerulus
Transport urine to the bladder
What is the function of the ureters?
Drains urine from the body
What is the function of the urethra?
Urine Storage
What is the function of the urinary bladder?
Nephron
What is the functional unit of the kidney?
Smooth muscle
What is the internal sphincter of the urethra made of?
A series of tubules that function in re-absorption & secretion
What is the renal tubule made up of? What is their function?
e. c and d
What surrounds the tubules of the nephron? a. Glomeruli b. Glomerular capsule c. Vasa recta d. Peritubular capillaries e. c and d
A
Which letter represents the glomerulus?
Nephron microanatomy
*afferent arteriole *efferent arteriole *two capillary beds - Peritubular - Glomerulus --- Vasa recta (surrounds tubules of nephron)
Functions of the urinary
*excretory: filters waste from bloodstream, excretes water *endocrine: renin, erythropoetin *vitamin D3 metabolism *urine storage
Renal corpuscle (anatomy)
*the first part of the nephron *Site of formation of the filtrate (liquid of blood to be filtered)
Urethra
- Drains urine from body - Two sphincters -- Internal - smooth muscle -- External - skeletal muscle
Ureters
- Transport urine to bladder - Peristalsis
Urinary bladder
- Urine storage - Distensible - Can store ~1L
Microanatomy of the kidney (urinary system)
- renal cortex - renal medulla - renal pelvis - renal plexus - functional unit = nephron
