Kidney

Kidneys, the excretory organs of vertebrates Function in both excretion and osmoregulation

The mammalian excretory system centers on paired kidneys Nephrons and associated blood vessels are the functional unit of the mammalian kidney The mammalian excretory system centers on paired kidneys Which are also the principal site of water balance and salt regulation

Each kidney Is supplied with blood by a renal artery and drained by a renal vein

Urine exits each kidney Both ureters Through a duct called the ureter Both ureters Drain into a common urinary bladder

Structure and Function of the Nephron and Associated Structures The mammalian kidney has two distinct regions An outer renal cortex and an inner renal medulla

The nephron, the functional unit of the vertebrate kidney Consists of a single long tubule and a ball of capillaries called the glomerulus

Filtration of the Blood Filtration occurs as blood pressure Forces fluid from the blood in the glomerulus into the lumen of Bowman’s capsule Filtration of small molecules is nonselective And the filtrate in Bowman’s capsule is a mixture that mirrors the concentration of various solutes in the blood plasma

Pathway of the Filtrate From Bowman’s capsule, the filtrate passes through three regions of the nephron The proximal tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal tubule Fluid from several nephrons Flows into a collecting duct

Blood Vessels Associated with the Nephrons Each nephron is supplied with blood by an afferent arteriole A branch of the renal artery that subdivides into the capillaries The capillaries converge as they leave the glomerulus Forming an efferent arteriole The vessels subdivide again Forming the peritubular capillaries, which surround the proximal and distal tubules

From Blood Filtrate to Urine Filtrate becomes urine As it flows through the mammalian nephron and collecting duct

Secretion and reabsorption in the proximal tubule Substantially alter the volume and composition of filtrate Reabsorption of water continues As the filtrate moves into the descending limb of the loop of Henle

As filtrate travels through the ascending limb of the loop of Henle Salt diffuses out of the permeable tubule into the interstitial fluid The distal tubule Plays a key role in regulating the K+ and NaCl concentration of body fluids The collecting duct Carries the filtrate through the medulla to the renal pelvis and reabsorbs NaCl

Two solutes, NaCl and urea, contribute to the osmolarity of the interstitial fluid Which causes the reabsorption of water in the kidney and concentrates the urine

The countercurrent multiplier system involving the loop of Henle Maintains a high salt concentration in the interior of the kidney, which enables the kidney to form concentrated urine

The collecting duct, permeable to water but not salt Conducts the filtrate through the kidney’s osmolarity gradient, and more water exits the filtrate by osmosis Urea diffuses out of the collecting duct As it traverses the inner medulla Urea and NaCl Form the osmotic gradient that enables the kidney to produce urine that is hyperosmotic to the blood

Regulation of Kidney Function The osmolarity of the urine Is regulated by nervous and hormonal control of water and salt reabsorption in the kidneys

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Increases water reabsorption in the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) Is part of a complex feedback circuit that functions in homeostasis

The South American vampire bat, which feeds on blood Has a unique excretory system in which its kidneys offload much of the water absorbed from a meal by excreting large amounts of dilute urine
