Study Notes
Urinary System Structures
- Label key structures of the urinary system along with neighboring anatomical features.
- Urine passes through the nephron, including components like the renal corpuscle and renal tubules.
Kidney Regions
- Identify and describe specific regions of the kidney, including cortex, medulla, and pelvis.
Kidney Structure
- Label structures in frontal sections of the kidney, including the nephron components.
Urinary Flow Pathway
- Understand the sequence of urine flow through the nephron to the urinary bladder and urethra.
Nephron Composition
- The nephron consists of two primary components: the renal corpuscle (Glomerulus + Bowman's capsule) and renal tubule (proximal, loop of Henle, distal).
Nephron Types
- Cortical nephrons are primarily located within the kidney cortex, distinguishable by shorter loops of Henle compared to juxtamedullary nephrons.
Juxtaglomerular Apparatus
- This apparatus regulates blood pressure and filtrate formation, composed of specialized cells in the nephron.
Renal Tubule Sequence
- Correct sequence of parts of the renal tubule includes proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule.
Anatomical Labeling
- Label external anatomy of the kidney as well as detailed internal structures in the kidney.
Major Structures Highlighted
- Identify various structures highlighted within anatomical diagrams, providing context and functionality.
- Ensure understanding of the urinary tract layout from kidneys to urethra.
Male Pelvic Anatomy
- Label and identify relevant structures in the midsagittal section of the male pelvis and posterior view of the male urinary bladder.
Filteration Process
- Recognize that filtration of blood occurs primarily in the renal corpuscle.
Repeated Structure Identification
- Develop the ability to name and identify specific highlighted structures indicated by leader lines in various diagrams.
