(Lancaster) Questions and Answers| Latest Update
urinary system -filters soluble wastes from body(excess water, organic wastes, excess
electrolytes)
-regulates concentrations of electrolytes
-regulates blood volume and pressure
-stabilizes blood ph
renal corpuscle -simple squamous epithelium
-surrounded by simple cuboidal epithelium
nephron -basic functional unit of the kidney
-consists of renal corpuscle, glomerulus, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal
convoluted tubule
-connects to the collecting system
cortical nephron -short loop of henle
85 % of all nephrons
-mostly in cortex
juxtamedullary nephrons -long loop of henle
-15% of all nephrons
,-deep into renal pyramid
transport, storage & elimination in urinary system -urine collected in renal pelvis flows
into ureter
-ureter extends from kidney to bladder
-muscular wall of bladder is called the detrusor muscle
-situated behind symphysis pubis
thoracoabdominal wall -3 layers forming a tub
-allows for torsion & compression
thoracic muscles -external intercostals
-internal intercostals
-transversus thoracis
abdominal muscles -external abdominal oblique
-internal abdominal oblique
-transversus abdominus
rectus abdominus & erector spinae -allows flexion & extension of trunk
digestive tract -muscular tube from mouth to anus
, -oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum
accessory digestive organs -teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas
oral cavity -cheeks, lips, hard & soft palate, tongue and muscular floor of mouth,
maxillary, and mandibular
-separated from pharynx by soft palate & pharyngeal arches
pelvic & perineal innervation somatic motor, somatic sensory, visceral motor-sympathetic,
visceral motor-parasympathetic
somatic motor -urogenital & pelvic diaphragms, ischiocavernosus, bulbospongiosis
-branches of pudenal nerve from s-2,3,4
somatic sensory -ilioingual n. & genital branch of genitofemoral
-pudenal nerve
-perineal branch of posterior femoral cutaneous
visceral motor-sympathetic -inferior hypogastric plexus-uterus, vagina, bladder, ductus
deferens, prostate
-superior rectal plexus
-sacral sympathetic trunks-sympathetic contributions to pudenal n.
