The renal capsule is itself surrounded by a mass of fatty tissue that also helps to protect the kidney by damage by cushioning it in cases of impact or sudden movement. Renal cortex: The renal cortex is the outer part of the kidney and has a reddish colour (shown as very pale brown above). It has a smooth texture and is the location of the Bowman's Capsules and the glomeruli, in addition to the proximal and distal convoluted tubules and their associated blood supplies (these structures are part of the k idney nephrons - described in further detail on the page about k idney nephrons). Renal medulla: The renal medulla is the inner part of the kidney. "Medulla" means "inner portion".
Samuel Lee Medical Terminology Secition 05 Susan Elizabeth RESEARCH PAPER ON THE URINARY SYSTEM The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. The paired kidneys are located retroperitoneally against the posterior body wall. They receive blood from the renal arteries, filter the blood and return it to the general circulation through the renal veins. Each kidney is surrounded by a tough fibrous capsule. Within the capsule, the kidney is divided into an outer cortex and an inner medulla.
What is this vessels’ function? The pulse behind the knee is called the Popliteal Pulse. It supplies blood to the knee joint. 20. What is the longest vein in the body named?
Urinary Tract Infection Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that affects any part of the urinary tract. The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Bladder infection or cystitis is the most common type of UTI. If the infection affects the kidney, it is called pyelonephritis which is a more serious infection. Background 1.
These cells are located in the gastric glands found in the fundus and in the body of the stomach. The Chief cell know as a zymogenic cell or peptic cell is located in the stomach that
The functional and anatomical unit of the spongy bone is the trabecula. Trabecula gives the structured look of the sponge, thus leaving space between for red bone marrow and providing greater surface area. The red bone marrow in the spongy bone is where hematopoiesis, or the production of new blood cells, takes place. 5) The femur would be formed by endochondral ossification.
The Uroselectan within the superior vena cava will be transported to the right atrium of the heart. Along with the drained
Which substances, other than gastric acid, are secreted by the stomach? Describe their secreted and physiological roles. o Two main tubular glands are present in the stomach mucosa: • Oxyntic/gastric glands • Pyloric glands In addition, mucus-secreting cells line the entire surface of the stomach (surface mucous glands). These secrete large quantities of a very viscid mucus that coats the stomach mucosa with a gel layer of mucus, often more than 1mm thick. These glands provide a major shell of protection for the stomach wall and contribute to lubrication of food transport.
Circulatory system – *Well developed having four-chambered heart-sinus venosus, auricle, ventricle and conus arteriosus. *The sinus venosus open into auricle by sinu-auricular aperture. *Auricle divided by perforated inter-auricular septum (Fig. 11.4). Due to perforated inter-auricular septum blood in the auricle is mixed blood.
The rectum has the same innervation as the bladder; the hypogastric nerves innervate the internal anal sphincter, and the internal pudendal nerve (S3–S4) operates the external anal sphincter. Because of the common innervation, dysuria is a common complaint associated with rectal disorders. Diagramatic representation of anorectal junction An important landmark both anatomically and clinically is the pectinate line where the anus and rectum merge, approximately 3 to 4 cm from the skin. It serves as a demarcation for venous and lymphatic drainage and for the nerve supply. Above the pectinate line,
