Kidneys Ureters Bladder Urethra Blood Supply Renal artery Renal vein Page 440
Kidneys Retroperitoneal Renal Cortex Renal Medulla Renal Pyramids Renal Pelvis Renal Calyx Page 441
Nephron Bowman’s capsule Proximal convoluted tubule Loop of Henle Distal convoluted tubule Collecting tubule Page 443
Blood supply Afferent arteriole Glomerulus Efferent arteriole Peritubular Capillaries
Filtration Renal corpuscle Reabsorption Everywhere, except renal corpuscle Secretion Occurs in distal convoluted tubules and collecting tubules Page 446
Anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH) Reabsorption of water from collecting tubules Secreted by Posterior Pituitary gland Aldosterone Reabsorption of sodium Secreted by Adrenal Cortex Atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) Secretion of sodium Secreted by atrial walls of the heart
The kidneys function as important homeostatic mechanisms for many conditions in the body. Predict what changes in urine production would occur in a patient who suffered a surgical injury to the hypothalamus.
