In: Anatomy and Physiology
-Trace a drop of blood through the kidney starting at the abdominal aorta and ending at the inferior vena cava
- Trace the movement of the gametes through their respective reproductive tracts, include all relevant accessory structures, and events (such as fertilization)
-Trace the production and evacuation of urine from the body starting at the renal corpuscle
-Compare and contrast male and female homologous reproductive structures, mention similarities and differences in function and structure.
Movement of drop of blood from the abdominal aorta to the inferior Vena Cava
From the abdominal aorta of it moves to the into the kidney through the renal artery which can be the right or left renal artery . The drop of blood reaching the renal artery will move inside if the kidney where it reach the segmental artery that carry the drop of blood into the interlobar artery. From the interlobar artery it move into the arcurate artery . From the specific arcurate artery in the kidney it moves to the interlobar artery which is the one that from which the afferent arterioles to the Glomerus occur . This Glomerus is where filtration occur . So the drop of blood move into the afferent arterioles and then into the Glomerular Capillary where filtration of this drop of blood occur . From there it move into the efferent arterioles and move to through the peritubular capillary into the Vasa recta and then move into the venous system. Here the blood move from Vasa recta into the peritubular venules and then into the interlobar vein and then into the arcurate vein. From the arcurate vein it move into the interlobar vein and then move through the segmental vein into the renal vein . The renal vein the reach the inferior Vena Cava. This makes the blood reach the right atrium and into right ventricle into the pulmonary artery to get Oxygenated and through pulmonary vein into the left atrium and into ventricle and to the aorta
