Anatomy

• Helps regulate BP
• Acid-base balance
• Homeostatsis of fluid volume
• Filters blood, excretes waste

• Kidney is bean shaped
• Located in Retroperitoneal space
• Held in place by Gerotas capsule
• Protected by fat and renal capsule
• 2 sections Renal Cortex and Renal Medulla

• located at border
• Nephrons - Bowmans and Glomerulus
• Calyces
• Renal Spaces
• Ducts for routing urine
• Renal Pelvis

• Muscosa - Mucous Layer
• Submucosa - Vsacular Layer
• Muscularis - Smooth Muscle Layer
• Serous - Parietal Peritoneum

• Muscosa - Muscous Layer
• Submucosa - Vascular layer
• Detrusor - Smoothe Muscle Layer
• Serous - Parietal Peritoneum

Muscularis/Detrusor

• 8 in long
• Below prostate gland
• Runs thru prostate
• Easier to control

• 1 1/2 - 2 in long
• Embedded in vagina
• Near opening of the meatus
• Harder to control

• Artery to Cortex

Urination

• Respitory - Lungs
• Integumentary - Skin
• Digestive - GI Tract
• Urinary - Urine

Protective fibrous layer surrounding the kidney

Outter portion of kidney

Inner portion of Kidney, 2 parts

Triangler divisions of medulla of kidney

Narrow, innermost part of renal pyramid

A division of the renal pelvis

Brings blood to kidney, 20% of blood pumped by heart goes to kidney for filteration by aorta

Return of blood back to the heart by Verna Cava

Basin like upper end of the ureter located in the kidney

Tubes that carries urine from the kidney to bladder

Digestion/breakdown of macroscopic food, or microscopic nutrients for cells

Protein that acts as a catalyst for cellur process

Intake of substance through membranes

Breakdown of foods to simple molecules

Serous membrane that lines abdominal pelvic cavity. Largest in the body

Fold of peritoneum and fat

• Fold of peritoneum that attachs organs to posterior wall
• Web-like
• Brings blood and lymph fluids to organs

Soft chewed mass ready to be swallowed

Circular muscle that closes off tubular structure

Partially digested food and chemicals in the stomach/intestine

Fold of mucosa for stretchability

Wave like motion of smooth muscle
