A&P Urinary Exam Elaborations
1. What are the functions of the kidney: Maintenance of our internal environment by:
filtering the blood to allow toxins, metabolic wastes, excess fluid and excess ions to leave the body
help the body to achieve acid/base balance Production of renin
Production of erythropoietin
Metabolism of vitamin D to its active form
2. Organs of the Urinary System: kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
3. Location of the Kidneys: retroperitoneal
kidneys lie between the dorsal body wall and the parietal peritoneum
4. The kidneys are held in place by?: Adipose tissue
5. Right kidney crowded by: Liver
6. Which kidney is lower?: right
7. What is on top of each kidney?: adrenal (suprarenal) gland
8. What is the shape of the kidney: Convex lateral surface, concave medial surface
9. vertical renal hilum leads to: renal sinus
10. enters and exits @ hilum: Renal vein Renal arteries
Renal nerves Ureter
11.What are the Three connective tissue layers surrounding the kidneys, from superficial to deep:: Renal fascia
Adipose capsule
Renal (Fibrous) capsule
12.What is the
outermost covering of the connective tissue layers surrounding the kidneys middle layer
inner layer: Renal fascia Adipose capsule
Renal (Fibrous) capsule
13. consist of microscopic epithelial tubes that filter blood and manufacture urine; about
one million per kidney: Nephrons
14.What connective tissue layers surrounding the kidneys is made of
dense irregular and areolar tissue adipose
thin, transparent, dense irregular connective tissue: Renal fascia
, A&P Urinary Exam Elaborations
Adipose capsule
Renal (Fibrous) capsule
15.What connective tissue layers surrounding the kidneys provides a barrier preventing the spread of infections
to the kidney: Renal (Fibrous) capsule
16.What connective tissue layers surrounding the kidneys helps cushion & hold the kidneys in place and
protects the kidneys: Adipose capsule
17.What connective tissue layers surrounding the kidneys surrounds both the kidney and the adrenal gland;
anchors them to surrounding structures: Renal fascia
18.What are some parts of the kidney: renal hilus
·renal sinus
·renal pelvis renal
cortex
.renal medulla
·renal columns Major
calyx Minor calyx
Renal pyramids Renal
papilla
19.Very short structures that stay in the cortex that are actually responsible for making urine: Nephrons
20.What is the pattern of urine flow: Nephron Papilla
Minor calyx Major
calyx Renal pelvis
Ureter Bladder
Urethra
Outta the body
21.Match the names of the kidney to their description
Granular-appearing superficial region
Deep to the cortex, Composed of cone-shaped medullary (renal) pyramids Inward extensions of cortical tissue that
separates the pyramids
Tip of pyramid; releases urine into minor calyx
Medullary pyramid and its surrounding cortical tissue; ~ 8/kidney Funnel-shaped tube
continuous with ureter
Drain pyramids at papillae
