A&P Module 15 : Urinary System
Lesson 1 : KidneysStandard(s): SC.912.L.14.47
Objective(s): Identify and understand the function of the macroscopic and microscopic structures of the kidney and supporting tissues of the urinary system, including its vascular system. Essential Question: How are the renal structures organized to promote proper kidney function? Vocabulary: kidneys, renal sinus, renal pelvix, renal cortex, renal medulla, minor calyx, major calyx, nephron, renal corpuscle, renal tubule, glomerulus, glomerular capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule, nephron loop, collecting duct, afferent arteriole, efferent arteriole, peritubular capillary |
Lesson 2 : Urine Formation and EliminationStandard(s): SC.912.L.14.47, SC.912.L.14.48
Objective(s): (1) Describe the three part process of urine formation, which is composed of glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion; (2) Explain the factors that govern the transport of macromolecules, water, sodium, and other ions during tubular reabsorption; (3) Describe the regulatory effect of hormones that control water homeostasis; (4) Explain the physiology of micturition. Essential Question: What factors and physiological structures control the processes of urine formation and elimination? Vocabulary: glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion, urine, renin, angiotensin II, atrial natriuretic peptide, urea, uric acid, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra, trigone, detrusor muscle, micturition, micturition reflex |
