anp lab urinary system

what two things does the urinary system do?

list the components and functions of the urinary system

what 2 things do the kidneys continuously do to the blood

funnel shaped expanded tube that lies within the renal sinus and is continueous with the ureter

the cavity of the kidney that contains the renal pelvis and segmental arteries and veins 

the outer layer of the kidney it contains many nephrons

cone shaped tissue of the medullary region appears striped because it is formed almost entirely of parallel bundles of miscroscopic urine tubules and capillaries

extensions of the renal cortex that penetrate between and seperate the renal pyramids of the medullary region

middle layer of the kidney contains renal pyramids 

structural and functional unit of the kidney. It consists of the glamerulus and the renal tubule and assiociated blood vessles

what 3 things make up a nephron

portion of the distal tubule that extends from the juxtaglomeralar apperatus to the cotical collecting duct

expanded up shaped proximal end of the nephron tubule it surrounds the glomerulus and collects the filtrate from the blood 

u shaped hairpin bend of the renal tubule it consists of descending and ascending limbs

portoin of the renal collecting duct formed by the pairing of the late distal convoluted tubules from many nephrons

portion of the renal tubule that lies between the glamerular capsul and the loop of henle. the cells of this tubule activily reabsorb 65% of the filtrate

the filtration unit of the nephron. it is comprised of the glomerulus and the glomerulus capsule
