Slide 3 – Urinary system’s function – regulation of blood volume
Slide 13 – Histology of the nephron (Proximal convoluted tubule)
Slide 14 – Histology of the nephron (distal convoluted tubule)
Slide 15 – Histology of the nephron – juxtaglomerular apparatus
Slide 22 – Renal fraction Renal plasma flow rate - the actual flow of plasma reaching the kidneys is equal to the renal blood flow rate multiplied by the portion of the blood that is made up of plasma – which is approximately 55% 1176mL/min x 0.55 = 646 mL plasma /min Filtration fraction – the actual part of the plasma that is being filtered through the glomerulus and the renal capsule. Filtration fraction averages 19% of the plasma flowing through the kidneys 646 mL plasma/min x 0.19 = 123.5 mL plasma per minute
