Kidney, Renal Tubule – Dilation
Kidney, Renal Tubule – Dilation Figure Legend: Figure 1 Kidney, Renal tubule - Dilation in a male B6C3F1 mouse from a chronic study. Dilated tubules are noted as tracts running through the cortex and outer medulla. Figure 2 Kidney, Renal tubule - Dilation in a male F344/N rat from a chronic study. Tubule dilation is present throughout the outer stripe of the outer medulla, extending into the cortex. Figure 3 Kidney, Renal tubule - Dilation in a male B6C3F1 mouse from a chronic study. Slight tubule dilation is associated with degeneration and necrosis. Figure 4 Kidney, Renal tubule - Dilation in a male F344/N rat from a chronic study. Tubule dilation is associated with chronic progressive nephropathy. Comment: Renal tubule dilation may occur anywhere along the nephron or collecting duct system. It may occur in focal areas or as tracts running along the entire length of kidney sections (Figure 1). 1 Kidney, Renal Tubule – Dilation Renal tubule dilation may occur from xenobiotic administration, secondary mechanisms, or an unknown pathogenesis (see Kidney – Nephropathy, Obstructive (Figure 2). Dilation may result from direct toxic injury to the tubule epithelium interfering with absorption and secretion (Figure 3). It may also occur secondary to renal ischemia or from prolonged diuresis related to drug administration. Secondary mechanisms of tubule dilation may result from lower urinary tract obstruction, the deposition of tubule crystals, interstitial inflammation and/or fibrosis, and chronic progressive nephropathy (Figure 4). A few dilated tubules may be regarded as normal histologic variation. Recommendation: Renal tubule dilation should be diagnosed and given a severity grade. The location of tubule dilation should be included in the diagnosis as a site modifier. -
St. Lawrence School Subject
St. Lawrence School Subject - Science Class - 4 Chapter - 3 Human Body : Digestive and Excetory System ( Part - 1 ) Learn about * Digestive system * Excretory system * Healthy eating habits Digestive System The process by which food is broken down into a simpler form so that it can be easily taken in or absorbed by our body is called digestion. Many organs work together and help in the process of digestion. The mouth, food pipe, stomach, small and large intestine, liver, rectum, and anus are the main organs of the digestive system. Let us learn about them. Mouth Digestion starts in the mouth. The teeth help to break down and chew food. The chewed food then mixes with a liquid, called saliva, produced in our mouth. It makes the food softer and easier to swallow. The tongue helps in the proper mixing of saliva with the food. Food pipe The food pipe ( oesophagus ) passes the food from the mouth to the stomach. Stomach Inside the stomach, the food is broken down further into smaller pieces by churning and with the help of chemicals called digestive juices. Small intestine From the small intestine, the undigested food passes into the large intestine. The large intestine is a shorter but wider, tube - like structure, which collects the indigestible food from the small intestine. The large intestine absorbs water from this undigested food and forms waste products called faeces. Rectum Rectum is the final part of the large intestine. Faeces are stored in the rectum for a short time before being passed out through anus. Anus Faeces are removed from the body through the anus. -
Urinary Bladder – Proteinaceous Plug
Urinary bladder – Proteinaceous Plug Figure Legend: Figure 1 An eosinophilic amorphous proteinaceous plug in the bladder lumen from a male B6C3F1 mouse in a chronic study. Figure 2 A proteinaceous plug associated with other flocculent, eosinophilic material, from a male F344/N rat in an acute study. Comment: Proteinaceous plugs are commonly noted as a postmortem change resulting from an agonal secretion of accessory sex gland fluids during euthanasia. Proteinaceous plugs vary in size but can be large, filling the urinary bladder (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Microscopically, the plug is composed of a mixture of an amorphous eosinophilic material, sometimes containing desquamated epithelial cells and spermatozoa. Proteinaceous plugs by themselves have no toxicologic importance and are not precursors of calculi. Plugs may be seen with obstructive syndromes associated with bacterial inflammation. They must be differentiated from calculi. Recommendation: Proteinaceous plugs occurring alone and not associated with any pathologic lesions should be recognized as an artifact and should not be diagnosed. Occasionally, proteinaceous plugs are recognized grossly, and the pathologist should use his or her judgment to correlate the gross lesion to an artifactual proteinaceous plug. 1 Urinary bladder – Proteinaceous Plug References: Gaillard ET. 1999.

Control of Fluid Absorption in the Renal Proximal Tubule
Control of fluid absorption in the renal proximal tubule Maurice B. Burg, Jack Orloff J Clin Invest. 1968;47(9):2016-2024. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI105888. Research Article Glomerulotubular balance was investigated in isolated, perfused rabbit proximal tubules in vitro in order to evaluate some of the mechanisms proposed to account for the proportionate relationship between glomerular filtration rate and fluid absorption generally observed in vivo. The rate of fluid transport from lumen to bath in proximal convoluted tubules in vitro was approximately equal to the estimated normal rate in vivo. The absorption rate in proximal straight tubules however was approximately one-half as great. If the mechanism responsible for maintenance of glomerulotubular balance is intrinsic to the proximal tubule, as has been proposed on the basis of micropuncture studies, the rate of fluid absorption in vitro should be directly related to the perfusion rate and/or tubule volume. In the present studies absorption rate was only minimally affected when perfusion rate was increased or the tubule distended. Thus, glomerulotubular balance is not mediated by changes in velocity of flow of the tubular fluid or tubular diameter and therefore is not an intrinsic property of the proximal tubule. It has also been proposed that glomerulotubular balance results from a humoral feedback mechanism in which angiotensin directly inhibits fluid absorption by the proximal convoluted tubule. In the present experiments, angiotensin was found to have no significant effect on absorption rate.

Mind Map As the glomerular filtrate enters the renal tubules, it flows sequentially through the successive parts of the tubule: The proximal tubule → the loop of Henle(1) → the distal tubule(2) → the collecting tubule → finally ,the collecting duct, before it is excreted as urine. A long this course, some substances are selectively reabsorbed from the tubules back into the blood, whereas others are secreted from the blood into the tubular lumen. The urine represent the sum of three basic renal processes: glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion: Urinary excretion = Glomerular Filtration – Tubular reabsorption + Tubular secretion Mechanisms of cellular transport in the nephron are: Active transport Pinocytosis\ Passive Transport Osmosis “Active transport can move a solute exocytosis against an electrochemical gradient and requires energy derived from metabolism” Water is always reabsorbed by a Simple diffusion passive (nonactive) (Additional reading) Primary active (without carrier physical mechanism Secondary active The proximal tubule, reabsorb protein) called osmosis , transport large molecules such as transport Cl, HCO3-, urea , which means water proteins by pinocytosis. -

The Urinary Tract and How It Works
The Urinary Tract and How It Works National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse What is the urinary tract and how does it work? The urinary tract is the body’s drainage system for removing urine, which is composed of wastes and extra fluid. In order for normal urination to occur, all body parts in the urinary tract need to work together in the correct order. Kidneys Kidneys. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine. The kidneys work around the clock; a person does not control what they do. Ureters Ureters. Ureters are the thin tubes of muscle—one on each side of the bladder— Bladder that carry urine from each of the kidneys to Urethra the bladder. Bladder. The bladder, located in the pelvis The urinary tract between the pelvic bones, is a hollow, muscular, balloon-shaped organ that expands as it fills with urine. Although a urination. The bladder stores urine until person does not control kidney function, the person finds an appropriate time and a person does control when the bladder place to urinate. A normal bladder acts empties. Bladder emptying is known as like a reservoir and can hold 1.5 to 2 cups of urine. How often a person needs to urinate depends on how quickly the kidneys Why is the urinary tract produce the urine that fills the bladder. -
