Question

3 Your lab partn nutrients when their capillary bed is located only about the blood flow in the kidney? Explain his mistake to him. er wonders how the cells of the renal tubules and ducts of the collecting system obtain oxygen and in the renal corpuscle. What is your lab partner misunderstanding 4 Female patients suffer urinary tract infections, or bacterial infections of the urethra and urinary bladder, more frequently than do male patients. Why do you think this is so, considering the anatomy of the female and male urinary tracts?

Explanation / Answer

Question 3

Answer

The kidney is the excretory organ which filters the blood resulting in the formation of urine.The functional unit of the kidney is nephron. The renal arteries branch of the abdominal aorta which supplies blood to the kidney. The renal arteries divided into afferent arterioles which carry blood to the capillary bed within glomerulus which is situated within a sac-like structure called Bowman's capsule.

This glomerulus and Bowman's capsule together known as renal corpuscles. The blood from the capillary bed filters in the renal corpuscles, the filtrate is passed out through renal tubule to the collecting duct.

The filtered blood passes from glomerulus into efferent arteriole and moves into the peritubular capillaries (tiny blood vessels that surround the loop of Henle and the proximal and distal tubules) that provide oxygen to the kidney tissue (parenchyma). The renal vein drains blood from venules that arise from the interlobular capillaries inside the parenchyma of the kidney and connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava

Question 4

Answer

The urinary tract infections are more common and frequent in females than females. This is mainly due to the anatomical variations.A woman has a shorter length of the urethra and the shorter distance increases the chances of bacteria to reach the bladder. in case of male there more distance and have specific protective secretions in male than female.
