1 Histology Lab Reviewer : Urinary System KIDNEY: SLIDE #28 Scanner: The medulla B.

Identify structure: Vasa Recta - With RBC

this area is the Medulla clue: this region is free from Glomeruli This is where you can see the loop of henle, vasa recta and capillary duct. If u see this, these are tubules which are the continuation of the straight collecting tubules from the cortex going to the medulla these are your capillary duct

HPO: medulla Scanner: the cortex

A.

A.

B.

A. Identify structures: Loope of Henle - Lined by simple squamous epithelium - Absence of RBC - Nucleus protrude the lumen

As seen in the picture this the cortex, Clue that your in the cortex: Presence of glomeruli A. Identify pointed structure: Medullary Rays

RKTD

2 The medullary ray is made up of: straight collective tubules - Medullary rays are longitudinal structure that are free from glomeruli. This is a substance in the cortex (acc. to dr) D. Identify pointed Structure: Proximal Tubule - narrow lumen - few nuclei which are widely spaced - dirty lumen/ lumen is obliterated by Microvilli - cells are simple cuboidal E. Identify pointed vessel: straight collecting tubule - Do not answer medullary ray if asked identity pointed VESSEL, but remember straight collecting tubules is what makes up the medullary ray. (so the longitudinal area of E is the medullary ray)

Under HPO: Cortex

A. B C.

F.

A. Identify pointed structure: Classify the type of capillary: Glomeruli Fenestrated Capillary B. Identify pointed Space: Bowmans Space The fluid in the Bowmans Space is directly received by: Proximal Convoluted Tubules C. Identify pointed structure (be specific): Parietal layer of the Bowmans Capsule simple squamous Epithelium

F. Identify structure: Distal Tubule - Wider lumen - More nuclei - No microvilli - The cells are simple cuboidal From here the urine will go to: Arch collecting tubule

E.

3 URETER: SLIDE#31 Under LPO URINARY BLADDER: SLIDE # 31 Scanner

Mucosa Lamina propria Muscularis Muscosal Aventitia Muscularis

has a stellate lumen (taken from the cadaver, which had undergone rigor mortis, so the smooth muscles (serosa) is contracted) the epithelium is transitional other structures mentioned: (but according to Dr. he will not ask) o lamina propria o muscularis o adventitia

Thick muscularis With transitional lining

Layers shown: 1. Mucosa 2. Muscularis The serosa cannot be seen in the slide because the muscularis is thick The muscularis has 3 layers: - Inner longitudinal - Middle circular - Outer longitudinal

*possible questions acc to Dr: Identify organ: Ureter The dilated portion of this is called? Renal Pelvis Grossly name sights where stones can be lodged: Uretropelvic junction Pelvic brim Where the ureters enter the bladder

RKTD

4 Under HPO: A. Identify pointed structure: Tunica albuginea B. This structure is equivalent to Corpus cavernosum in humans (humans 2 and underneath this is the corpus spongiosum but in the slide its at the top as seen below) - an erectile tissue

Umbrella cells

C D

Identify tissue(in the slide above): transitional Also seen in ureter, prostatic urethra, membranous urethra and calyxes. C. Identify pointed structure: Corpus Spongiosum - This body that contains the urethra D. Identify pointed passage: Urethra - which is inside the corpus spongiosum A Possible questions acc to Dr.: Mucus glands in its lamina propria are called: Littres Gland B Classify lining epithelium (male spongy urethra): pseudostratified columnar epithelium, except at the terminal end that is continuous to the glans penis which is stratified squamous.

*remember Umbrella cells are located here. PENIS: SLIDE #64 (for the urethra)

* This specimen didnt come from man, but might be from a monkey that is why the structures are kind of different.
