    Study Notes

    Renal System Lecture Summary

    • Al-Turath University College/Pharmacy Department, 2nd-year students, are learning about the renal system from Assist. Prof. Dr. Shaymaa Abdalwahed.
    • The learning objectives include understanding the morphology of a nephron, basic renal processes, defining glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and describing the physiologic anatomy of the kidney.
    • The urinary system comprises two kidneys, two ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra, with the kidneys located in the retroperitoneal space in the posterior abdomen.
    • The kidneys play a crucial role in controlling blood volume, ion concentration, and acid-base balance, serving as a major excretory organ responsible for removing metabolic waste products.
    • The kidney converts plasma to ultrafiltrate, adding and removing substances to produce urine.
    • The renal hilum is the entry and exit site for structures servicing the kidneys, including vessels, nerves, lymphatics, and ureters, and it acts as a gateway for blood, urine, and nerves.
    • The renal pelvis, formed from the major and minor calyxes, emerges from the hilum.
    • The lecture is part of the Physiology I-1 semester for the 2023/2024 academic year at Al-Turath University College.
