FOR MLS STUDENTS STUDYING HISTOLOGY

1. ACTIVITY 14
Urinary System
Prepared By: Kabarkads Notes Maker 
When you get a
Bladder infection?
URINE trouble

2. Kidney SCANNER
Medulla
Cortex
FUNCTION: To remove waste products and excess fluid from
the body. These waste products and excess fluid are removed
through the urine

3. Kidney Medulla
LPO HPO
Collecting Duct
Interstitium
Vasa Recta
Thin Ascending &
Descending Limbs
Thick Ascending Limbs
innermost part of the kidney.

4. Kidney cortex lpo
Collecting Tubules
Renal Corpuscle
Proximal Convoluted
Tubule
Distal Convoluted
Tubule
where ultrafiltration occurs
regulates the pH of the
filtrate
regulating extracellular
fluid volume and
electrolyte homeostasis.
also called duct of Bellini
concentrate and transport
urine from the nephron
initial blood-filtering
component of a
nephron.

5. Kidney cortex hpo
Distal Convoluted Tubule
Proximal Convoluted
Tubule
Glomerulus
Macula Densa
Capsular Space
Visceral Layer
Parietal Layer
Podocyte
Glomerular Capillaries
Juxtaglomerular Cell

6. Macula Densa regulate blood pressure and the
filtration rate of the glomerulus
Juxtaglomerular
Cell
cells in the kidney that synthesize,
store, and secrete the enzyme renin.
Glomerulus filter plasma to produce glomerular
filtrate, which passes down the length
of the nephron tubule to form urine.
Podocyte cooperate with mesangial cells to
support the structure and function of
the glomerulus.
Capsular Space which the filtrate enters after passing
through the filtration slits.

7. URETER

LPO
Venule
Lumen
Transitional epi
HPO
a tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder.

8. Gallbladder
HPO
store and concentrate bile, a yellow-brown digestive enzyme produced
by the liver.
Urothelium

9. Urethra
HPO OIO
the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside
of the body.
