ANAT 3601 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Internal Sphincter Muscle Of Urethra, Distal Convoluted Tubule, Ureteric Bud
Urinary, Reproductive, and Endocrine Review
● Renal artery to interlobar artery to arcuate artery to interlobular artery to afferent arteriole to glomerulus to
efferent arteriole to:
○ Peritubular capillaries: around the convoluted tubules
○ Vasa recta: associated with nephron loop
○ Then to interlobular vein then arcuate vein then interlobar vein and then renal vein
● The kidney itself is a contained portal system
● Nephron
○ Glomerulus, surrounding is capsule (Glomerular capsule) lined by simple squamous epithelium
■ Filtration is going on
○ Glomerular filtration is not selective, and fenestrated so things can leave
○ PCT and then to loop then DCT and collecting tubule and then collecting duct
○ Can either do:
■ Tubular reabsorption: to reabsorb nutrients in bloodstream
■ Secrete: out of bloodstream
● ADH (antidiuretic hormone) secreted in response either to a rise in concentration of ions in blood or ball in
blood volume (dehydration)
○ Posterior pituitary released
● If individual is hydrated, ducts only transport the tubular fluid and do not modify it at all.
● Juxtaglomerular apparatus is composed of:
○ Juxtaglomerular cells: modified smooth muscle cells of the afferent arteriole located near the
entrance to the renal corpuscle
○ Macula densa: modified epithelial cells in a distal convoluted tubule that touch the
juxtaglomerular cells
○ Extraglomerular mesangial cells: contract and phagocytize filtered particles
○ To release RENIN, results in aldosterone (adrenal mineralcorticod in zona glomerulosa)
production, which causes increases in blood ion concentration and blood volume
● Micturition (peeing)
○ Parasympathetic (pelvic splanchnics) from micturition reflex center at S2-S4: relax internal
urethral sphincter- urine can pass through and stimulate contraction of detrusor muscle
○ Sympathetic innervation from T11-L2: contracts internal urethral sphincter and inhibit contraction
of detrusor muscle
- “Pee”= parasympathetics
- “Store”= sympathetics
Internal urethral: smooth muscle
External urethral: striated/voluntary muscle
Urinary Embryo
● Derived from intermediate mesoderm (part of trilaminar disc)
● Kidney stages:
○ Pronephros: never functional, regresses
○ Mesonephros: functional 4-6 weeks, degenerates
○ Metanephros: definitive kidney
■ Bowman’s capsule to DCT derived from metanephros
● Metanephros joins with ureteric bud (from the mesonephric duct) to form final kidney
○ Collecting tubule and down from ureteric bud
● Cloacal region is partitioned by the urorectal septum into a ventral urogenital sinus (bladder) and a dorsal
anorectal canal (digestive tract)

Document Summary
Renal artery to interlobar artery to arcuate artery to interlobular artery to afferent arteriole to glomerulus to efferent arteriole to: Then to interlobular vein then arcuate vein then interlobar vein and then renal vein. The kidney itself is a contained portal system. Glomerulus, surrounding is capsule (glomerular capsule) lined by simple squamous epithelium. Glomerular filtration is not selective, and fenestrated so things can leave. Pct and then to loop then dct and collecting tubule and then collecting duct. Tubular reabsorption: to reabsorb nutrients in bloodstream. Adh (antidiuretic hormone) secreted in response either to a rise in concentration of ions in blood or ball in blood volume (dehydration) If individual is hydrated, ducts only transport the tubular fluid and do not modify it at all. Juxtaglomerular cells: modified smooth muscle cells of the afferent arteriole located near the entrance to the renal corpuscle. Macula densa: modified epithelial cells in a distal convoluted tubule that touch the juxtaglomerular cells.
