Picture tests in histology of the renal system 1

You may use the video as a revision for the topic or as a self-assessment tool. For the purpose of self-assessment, pause the video at the beginning of each slide and take your time in reading the question and coming up with the answer then replay the video to confirm your answer and listen to further comments and explanations.

00:00 Introduction
00:28 Q1 Glomerular filter
03:47 Q2 Matching proximal and distal convoluted tubules
07:16 Q3 Muscle fibers and epithelium
09:12 Q4 Differentiating the renal cortex from the medulla
11:37 Q5 Identifying the component layers of a tubular structure
13:17 Q6 Identify an organ and describe the location of a similar type of epithelium
15:05 Q7 Deep into the kidney

After completing this video you will be able to:
Differentiate between
-Proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct, thick limb of the loop of Henle, thin limb of the loop of Henle, capillary lumen.
-Renal cortex and medulla.
Describe the structural components of the glomerular filter.
Explain the presence of a brush border and dark cytoplasm in proximal convoluted tubules and the abundance of profiles of proximal convoluted tubules in comparison to the distal.
Identify transitional epithelium, mesothelium, urinary bladder, ureter, minor calyx, renal papilla, detrusor muscle, glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, renal corpuscle, and umbrella (dome-shaped cells).

I wish we get teachers like you who take time to teach.Thank you.

[mmmmmmmmmmm]

There is nothing like this on youtube. Thanks a ton Dr Jaffar!

This was really good. I wished I watched these earlier in med school. We pretty much had to figure out histology on our own.

DR Jaffar  :Great educational Video.I wish we get teachers like you who take time to teach.Thank you.Joe

[serendipitum]

Absolutely amazing series of videos. Going to be recommending these to everyone in my Histology class

[KnowledgeandTruth]

Thanks a lot, Dr. Jaffar. You're a gem, Sir

[karthikeswaras]

This is best video I watched on histology so far

[michaeljimmy]

You are exceptinal sir, you make tough things ridiculously easy!

[jordanwelty]

I seriously just got an ad for electric shock therapy not even kidding.. what!

[preciousnzeakor]

How can you tell the transitional epithelium?

[anitasbaidoo]

Please why is the proximal and distal tubule made up by cell of columnar shape and the Glomerulus made up of flatted epithelia cells

[dailystrolldiaries]

how can you tell the difference between a ureter slide vs a bladder slide?
