muscles
skeletal muscle cells
smooth muscle cells
cardiac muscle cells
parasympathetic
sympathetic
muscle structure
muscle –> muscle fibre bundle –> muscle fibre –> myofibrils –> myofilaments
sacroplasm
myofibrils
FILAMENTS
- 5nm
- thin
- actin proteins like twisted
beads
MYOSIN PROTEINS
- 11nm
- bind to the filament with a
double head
bone –>tendon–>nerve–>muscle fibre–>sacroplasmic reticulum–>myofibril–>myofilaments
skeletal muscle arrangement
bone –>tendon–>nerve–>muscle fibre–>sacroplasmic reticulum–>myofibril–>myofilaments
renal artery
carry oxygenated blood from your heart to your kidneys
renal vein
carries deoxygenated blood from the kidney to the inferior vena cava
aorta
transports blood to the kidneys
inferior vena cava
collects deoxygenated blood.
kidney
remove waste products from the blood and produce urine
- filtration, reabsorption, secretion
ureter
carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder
urethra
allows urine to pass outside the body
urea
a less toxic waster from protein breakdown
anatomy of the excretory system
aorta –> renal artery –> kidney –> renal vein –> vena cava
cortex
outside of the kidney
- tougher
medulla
middle of the kidney
- salty
renal pelvis
“reservoir” where all the veins and arteries are
nephron
connected to the collecting duct and goes to the renal pelvis
