Renal Anatomy Q&A What is the vertebral level of the kidney?  T12-L3 4 connective tissue layers that support the kidney 1. Perirenal fat 2. Pararenal fat 3. Renal fascia 4. Renal capsule 5 structures that enter & exit the hilum 1. Renal artery 2. Renal vein 3. Renal nerve 4. Ureter/ Renal pelvis 5. Lymphatics Label the diagram 1. Medulla/ pyramid 2. Cortex 3. Papilla 4. Sinus 5. Minor calyx 6. Renal column 7. Major calyx 8. Hilum 9. Renal pelvis 10. Ureter Label diagram A A- Renal corpuscle B B- Renal tubule C- collecting duct C List and describe 2 types of nephrons  Cortical Nephron  Consists of Renal corpuscle, distal convoluted tubule and proximal convoluted tubule in outer cortex  Only part of loop of henle in medulla  85% of nephron are cortical  Juxtamedullary  Renal corpuscle close to medulla  Proximal convoluted tubule & loop of henle in medulla  15% nephrons are Juxtamedullary Label the diagram A. Proximal convoluted tubule B. Glomerular capsule C. Glomerulus D. Afferent arteriole E. Cortical radiate vein F. Distal convoluted tubule G. Collecting duct Label the diagram A. Arcuate artery B. Segmental artery C. Renal artery D. Renal vein E. Interlobar vein Name 5 layers of the bladder wall A A. Transitional epithelium B B. Lamina proporia C C. Submucosa D D. Detrusor muscle E E. Adventitia Identify from where this image is taken and explain the function of A  A- Glomerulus (group of looping fenestrated capillaries)  Function- Filters filtrate into capsule How does the anatomy of the efferent arteriole contribute to the blood pressure within the glomerular capillaries?  Smaller lumen  Increases pressure  Efferent smaller than afferent Which part of the renal tubule contains macula densa cells  Distal convoluted tubule Which parts of the nephron contain microvilli?  Proximal convoluted tubule  Distal convoluted tubule  Collecting duct Define upper & lower urinary tract  Upper= Above bladder  Lower- bladder plus Layers of tissue in ureter 1 2 1. Lumen 2. Transitional epithelium 3. Muscularis 3 4. Adventitia 4 Blood supply and drainage to bladder?  Superior & inferior vesicular arteries & veons drain into internal iliac artery & vein ?? Renal Physiology Q&A
