function of the lymphatic system
return water, ions, nutrients, gases, and plasma proteins to the blood
lymphatic capillaries
-”blind-ended” lymphatic vessels located in the microscopic spaces between tissue cells
-these collect excess interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream
interstitial fluid
the extracellular fluid in the microscopic spaces between tissue cells
lymphatic capillaries
very permeable (take up cell debris, pathogens, and cancer cells)
locations of lymphatic capillaries
cartilage, epidermis, and cornea
lactels
What is the name of lymphatic capillaries in the villi of the small intestine?
collecting vessels
lymphatic capillaries merge to form larger vessels called _____
collecting vessels
lymph from lymphatic capillaries flows into ________
trunks
lymph from collecting vessels flows into _____________
ducts
lymph from trunks flows into ___________
collecting vessels
carry lymph into and out of structures called lymph nodes
lymphatic trunks
the largest collecting vessels exiting the lymph nodes merge to form this
thoracic duct
largest lymphatic vessel
typically empties lymph into venous blood at the junction of the left internal jugular vein and left subclavian vein
right lymphatic duct
typically empties lymph into venous blood at the junction of the right internal jugular vein and left subclavian vein
reasons for lymph transport
-the “milking” action of skeletal
-respiratory movements (due to pressure changes)
-semilunar valves that prevent backflow
lymphocytes and macrophages
lymphatic tissue consist primarily of ________
tonsils
provide protection against bacteria and other foreign substances that can enter the pharynx from nasal or oral cavities
lymph nodes
-structures located along collecting vessels that filter lymph to remove damaged cells and microorgamisms
-contain lymphocytes and macrophages
functions of the spleen
-involved with immune responses
-filters blood
-RBC production in the fetus
thymus gland
-site of T cell production
-replaced by adipose tissue throughout life
appendix
contains lymphocytes and macrophages
major functions of the urinary system
-eliminates wastes from the body
-regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of blood
-regulates blood volume and blood
function of the kidneys
-helps maintain homeostasis by controlling the composition, volume, pressure, and pH of the blood
the liver
why is the right kidney lower than the left kidney?
renal hilus
where does the ureter, nerves, lymphatics, and blood vessels enter and exit the kidneys?
renal pyramids
what forms the renal medulla?
renal papilla
what is contained within each renal pyramid?
renal column
what is the column of tissue between pyramids?
major and minor calyces
drains urine into the renal pelvis
renal pelvis
drains urine into ureter
renal arteries
carries oxygenated blood into the kidneys
renal veins
carries deoxygenated blood into the kidneys
nephrons
-gets rid of waste (in the form of urine)
-returning needed materials to the blood
-microscopic structures in the kidney (over one million per kidney)
renal corpuscle and renal tubule
each nephron is composed of what?
renal corpuscle
-composed of the glomerular capsule and glomerulus
-as blood flows through the glomerulus, substances are filtered out of the blood plasma int the glomerulus capsule
-the filtered substances that are now in the glomerular capsule are called filtrate
-filtrate flows into the renal tubule
renal tubule
-composed of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, and distal convoluted tubule
proximal convoluted tubule
portion of the renal tubule that receives filtrate from the glomerular capsule
loop of henle
-receives filtrate from the proximal tubule
-consists of the descending limb and ascending limb
distal convoluted tubule
-receives filtrate from the loop of henle
-drains filtrate into the collecting ducts
minor calyces
where is the first place you see urine?
afferent arteriole
carries blood into the glomerulus
efferent arteriole
-carries blood out of the glomerulus
-gives the rise to peritubular capillaries
juxtaglomerular cells
special smooth muscle cells forming a cufflike arrangement around the afferent arteriole
macula densa
specialized cells located in the part of DCT that lies between the afferent and efferent arterioles
juxtaglomerular apparatus
-secretes renin
-helps maintain a constant GFR (glomerular filtrate rate)
peritubular capillaries
-surround the proximal and distal convoluted tubules
-give rise to the vasa recta
vasa recta
surround the loop of henle of juxtamedullary nephrons
ureters
transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
urinary bladder
stores urine (average capacity of bladder is 700-800 ml)
urethra
transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the rest of the body
700-800 mL
what is the average capacity of the bladder?
200-400 mL
at what urine level does a person want to pee?
detrusormuscle
urination leads to contraction of what muscle?
internal urethral sphincter
urination leads to relaxation of what muscle?
skeletal muscle
external urethral sphincter is what kind of muscle?
