    Study Notes

    Urinary System

    • The tiny vessels surrounding the tubules are called peritubular capillaries.
    • The afferent arterioles deliver blood to the peritubular capillaries.
    • Glomerular filtration is the process of urine formation that decreases when blood pressure decreases and increases when blood pressure increases.
    • During glomerular filtration, substances move from the blood into the renal tubules.
    • The hormone ADH controls the amount of water the body keeps during tubular reabsorption.
    • Glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscles.

    Tubular Reabsorption and Secretion

    • Tubular reabsorption is the process of urine formation where nutrients, ions, and water are returned to the body.
    • Tubular secretion is the process of urine formation where drugs and hydrogen ions enter the filtrate.
    • Substances such as drugs, ions, and waste products are moved during tubular secretion and are eliminated in urine.

    Urinary System Structure

    • The ureters take urine away from the bladder.
    • The ureters use a peristaltic action to take urine to the bladder.
    • The detrusor muscle is part of the bladder.

    Renal Failure

    • Acute renal failure is characterized by a sudden loss of kidney function, which can be caused by poisons and/or alcohol abuse, and may be corrected by surgical repair of obstructions.
    • Chronic renal failure is characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function, commonly caused by high blood pressure or diabetes, and may cause frequent seizure activity.

    Male Reproductive System

    • Spermatogenic cells are the cells that begin the process of developing sperm cells.
    • Spermatogonia are the cells that contain 46 chromosomes at the beginning of spermatogenesis.
    • The vas deferens carries sperm cells from the epididymis to the urethra.
    • The prostate gland produces a milky, alkaline fluid that protects the sperm when they enter the acidic environment of the female vagina.
    • The seminal vesicles secrete an alkaline fluid rich in sugars and prostaglandins.
    • The prostate gland surrounds the proximal urethra in males.
    • Semen is a mixture of sperm cells and fluids from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands.
    • Testes are the primary organs of the male reproductive system because they produce sperm and testosterone.
    • Seminiferous tubules are filled with spermatogenic cells that give rise to sperm cells.
    • The bulbourethral gland makes a fluid that lubricates the penis for sexual intercourse.
