Document Summary

Systems physiology lecture 11 notes: renal/urinary system (day 1) Weighs about 125 to 175g bilaterally located. Kidney has both a tubular and circulatory system. Has only a sympathetic nervous system relation (no parasympathetic) 1) efferent arteriole supplies blood to the. 2) glomerular capillary network for filtration which then is followed by. 3) the afferent arteriole which leads to the. 4) peritubular capillaries (these surround all the renal tubules and take in the fluid absorbed by the renal tubules) Superficial nephrons: located in the cortex portion of the pyramid, lead to the capillary system that provide nutrients and o2 to tubules in the cortex. Juxpositionary nephrons: these just form the vasa recta capillary system into the medulla portion, they are located right between the cortex and the medulla, play special role in the production of a concentrated urine. Major calyx: first structures that collect liquid urine. The lymph vessels drain the interstitial fluid which later leaves from the.
