2 kidneys - 2 ureters - 1 urinary bladder - 1 urethra

filter blood - produce urine

to attach the kidney to the posterior abdominal wall

dense irregular connective tissue

kidney's outer layer

thin, connective tissue

false, the renal fascia surrounds the renal capsule

adipose tissue

insulates & protects the kidneys

retroperitoneal (behind the peritoneum)

a bean

concave, medial indentation in the kidneys

ureter - renal artery - renal vein - lymphatics - nerves

true

between the kidney and urinary bladder

channel urine from the kidneys to the bladder

transitional epithelium

muscular layer of smooth muscle

connective tissue

in the pelvis - at the base of the abdominopelvic cavity

to temporarily store urine

folds in the urinary bladder

they flatten when the bladder fills with urine to increase its capacity

transitional epithelium

urethra

male's

false; the male's does, but the female's does not (only urinary)

within the penis

under urinary bladder - in the vagina

within the spermatic cord

outer cortex - inner medulla

false, it is slightly granular

striated (due to tubules & ducts)

renal pyramids

renal columns

the cortex

renal papilla

the kidney's innermost region

a cup-like extension

collects urine from the renal papilla

a major calyx

8-20

2-3

the renal pelvis

a hollow membrane-lined basin

collects urine - channels it into the ureters

tubes connecting the kidneys with the urinary bladder

20%

false, there are only segmental arteries

1. renal artery 2. segmental artery 3. interlobar artery 4. arcuate artery 5. interlobular/cortical radiate 6. afferent arteriole 7. glomerular capillaries 8. efferent arteriole 9. peritubular capillaries/vasa recta 10. interlobular/cortical radiate vein 11. arcuate vein 12. interlobar vein 13. renal vein

1. afferent arteriole 2. glomerular capillaries (main one) 3. efferent arteriole

renal cortex

base of renal pyramids

between renal pyramids

between renal & interlobar arteries

renal column - behind interlobar arteries

base of renal pyramid

branch off the arcuate veins

kidney's function unit

performs the kidney's primary functions

renal corpuscle - renal tubules

renal cortex

glomerulus - glomerular capsule

glomerular capillaries

bowman's capsule

filtering blood contents

glomerulus' fenestrated capillaries - capillary endothelium's basal lamina - podocytes

cells that surround the glomerular capillaries

podocytes

pedicels

interdigitate - create filtration slits between them

leave

enter

1. parietal layer 2. capsular space 3. visceral layer (podocytes)

renal tubules

1. proximal convoluted tubules 2. descending limb of nephron loop 3. ascending limb of nephron loop 4. distal convoluted tubule

renal cortex

nephrons with loops - primarily within the renal cortex

nephrons with loops - deep within the renal medulla

false, juxtamedullary nephrons are deeper

nephron loop

peritubular capillary plexus

peritubular capillaries

vasa recta

efferent arteriole

when substances move from tubules' filtrate --> blood

body can reclaim substances it wants to keep

when substances move from blood --> tubules

how body gets rid of waste products/unwanted substances

collecting duct (then out of body)

true

regulate glomerular filtration

juxtaglomerular/granular cells (of the afferent arteriole) - macula densa cells (of the distal convoluted tubule)
