1
New cards
proximal convoluted
______ convoluted tubule (PCT) – Begins at tubular pole of renal corpuscle – Lined with simple cuboidal epithelium containing microvilli – Major site of reabsorption (red)
2
New cards
henle/nephron
Loop of _____ (LOH) or ______ Loop – Descending limb – Ascending limb – Both loops simple squamous epithelium – Drained by vasa recta (orange)
3
New cards
ascending
______ (thick) limb- reabsorption of ions; impermeable to water (yellow)
4
New cards
descending
_____ (thin) limb- reabsorption of water; only permeable to water (green)
5
New cards
Distal Convoluted
________ convoluted tubule Tubule (DCT) Active, regulated secretion of ions, acids, toxins – Selective reabsorption of sodium & calcium ions – Reabsorption of water – Section used in regulation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (blue)
6
New cards
proximal
______ convoluted tubule rabsorbs materials we want to keep (proteins, water)
7
New cards
microvilli
the ______ in the proximal convoluted tubule help to excrete and absorb
8
New cards
nephron
the _______ is the smallest functional unit of the kidney.... functions great but not based off of size!
9
New cards
nephron
________ tissue in kidney
10
New cards
absorption
loop of henley correlates w what process
11
New cards
thick (ascending)
loop of henly- ____ limb is important for excreting sodium-... helps to regulate water intake/loss
12
New cards
high
too much sodium --> too much water diffusion --> _____ blood pressure
13
New cards
collecting
______ System (still reabsorbing things, final chance) • Connecting tubules • Collecting ducts • Both of these sections will reabsorb water; secrete or reabsorb ions – Last adjustments to filtrate before excretion • Papillary ducts
14
New cards
tubules
collecting ____: DCT of each nephron empties filtrate to this (red)
15
New cards
duct
collecting ______: Several connecting tubules drain into this tube (orange)
16
New cards
papillary
____ ducts: excrete filtrate; now urine
17
New cards
minor
once we hit the ________ calyx, not modifying anymore
Urine Voiding Reflex (micturition) – first urge when bladder fills to ~ 200 mL – High frequency stretch-activated spinal reflexes stimulate _________ activity • Detrusor contracts; smooth muscle wall of bladder • Internal urethral sphincter relaxes; smooth muscle
57
New cards
internal
Urine Voiding Reflex (micturition) – High frequency stretch signals also decreases sympathetic activity • _______ urethral sphincter relaxes
58
New cards
10
– Voluntary effort is needed to relax (therefore open) external urethral sphincter; skeletal muscle – Upon “complete void,” ~ __ mL of urine still remains – When urinary bladder nears capacity, both urethral sphincters will open based on pressure
Reproductive system No major ___________ role; yet perpetuates our species • Produces, stores, nourishes, & transports gametes • Testes produce sperm • Ovaries produce oocytes
61
New cards
gonads
____: Testes/Ovaries that produce gametes & hormones
62
New cards
tract
Reproductive ___: Ducts that receive, store, & transport gametes
