-
ORGANS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM
KIDNEYS, URETERS, URINARY BLADDER, URETHRA
-
-
URETER
TRANSPORT URINE TO THE URINARY BLADDER
-
URINARY BLADDER
STORES URINE
-
URETHRA
TRANSPORT URINE TO THE OUTSIDE
-
RENAL CAPSULE (KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT SURROUNDS THE KIDNEY
-
RENAL CORTEX(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
OUTER TISSUE OF THE KIDNEY
-
RENAL MEDULLA(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
INNER TISSUE OF THE KIDNEY
-
RENAL COLUMN(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
OUTER TISSUE OF THE KIDNEY THAT EXTENDS INWARD TO DIVIDE THE MEDULLA INTO PYRAMIDS
-
RENAL PYRAMID(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
THE MEDULLA IS DIVIDED INTO PYRAMIDS
-
RENAL PELVIS(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
EXPANDED PORTION OF THE URETER
-
CALYXES(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
RENAL PELVIS DIVIDED INTO TUBES-->MAJOR CALYX; WHICH IN TURN IS DIVIDED INTO SMALLER TUBES CALLED MINOR CALYX
-
HILUS(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
INTENDED REGION OF THE KIDNEY THROUGHT WHICH BLOOD VESSELS, URETER, AND NERVES PASS THROUGH
-
RENAL SINUS(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
SPACE BEHIND THE RENAL PELVIS
-
RENAL PAPILLA(KIDNEY STRUCTURE)
TINY TUBES THAT PROJECT INTO EACH MINOR CALYX
-
KINDEY FUNCTION
REGULATES VOLUME, COMPOSITON AND pH OF BODY FLUIDS; REMOVE METABOLIC WASTES: CONTROL RATE OF RED BLOOD CELL PRODUCTION AND BLOOD PRESSURE
-
RENAL BLOOD VESSELS
RENAL ARTERY-INTERLOBAR ARTERY-ARCUATE ARTERY-INTERLOBULAR ARTERY-NEPHRON-INTERLOBULAR VEIN-ARCUATE VEIN-INTERLOBAR VEIN-AND RENAL VEIN
-
NEPHRON
FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF THE KIDNEY
-
NEPHRON STRUCTURE
MADE UP OF RENAL CORPUSCLE AND RENAL TUBULE
-
RENAL CORPUSCLE
MADE UP OF RENAL GLOMERULUS AND BOWMAN'S CAPSULE
-
RENAL TUBULE
MADE UP OF PROXIMAL CONVOLUTE TUBLE, LOOP OF HENLE, DISTAL CONVOLUTES TUBULE AND COLLECTING DUCT
-
BLOOD SUPPLY OF A NEPHERON
AFFERENT ARTRIOLES--GLOMERULUS--EFFERENT ARTERIOLES--PERITUBULAR CAPILLARY-- VASA RECTA
-
URINE FORMATION
FILTRATION, REABSORPTION AND SECRETION
-
GLOMERULAR FILTRATION
TAKES PLACE IN THE GLOMERULUS
-
REABSORBTION
TAKES PLACE IN THE PROXIMAL CONVOLUTES TUBULE(PCT). GLUCOSE AND AMINO ACID, BY TRANSPORT, WATER OSMOSIS AND PROTEINS BY PINOCYTOSIS
-
SECRETION
TAKES PLACE IN THE DISTAL CONVOLUTES TUBULE (DCT)
-
COUNTER CURRENT MECHANISM
TAKES PLACE IN THE LOOP OF HENLE. REGULATES THE CONCENTRATION OF SODIUM IONS
-
UREA
BY PRODUCT OF AMINO ACID METABOLISM
-
URIC ACID
BY PRODUCT OF NUCLEIC ACID METABOLISM
-
URINE COMPOSITION
WAYER,UREA,URIC ACID,ELECTROLYTES,AMINO ACID.
-
URINE ELIMINATION
COLLECTING DUCT--RENALM PAPILLA--MINOR CALYX--MAJOR CALYX--RENAL PYRAMID--URETER--URINARY BLADDER--URETHRA.
-
URINARY BLADDER
TRIGONE LOCATED IN THE FLOOR OF THE BLADDER, WITH THREE OPENINGS(2 FOR THE URETERS AND 1 FOR THE URETHRA)
-
4 COATS
MUCOUS,SUBMUCOUS,MUSCULAR AND SEROUS COAT
-
URETHRA(MALE)
PROSTRATIC,MEMBRANOUS AND PENILE URETHRA
-
MICTURITION
ELIMINATION OF URINE
