Martini PowerPoint ® Lecture Slide Presentation prepared by Dr. Kathleen A. Ireland, Biology Instructor, Seabury Hall, Maui, Hawaii Chapter 26, part 1 The Urinary System
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Learning Objectives Identify the components and functions of the urinary system Describe the location and structural features of the kidneys Describe the structure of a nephron, and outline the processes involved in the formation of urine Describe the normal characteristics, composition, and solute concentrations of a representative urine sample
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Learning Objectives List and describe the factors that influence filtration pressure and the rate of filtrate formation Identify the types of transport mechanisms found along the nephron Describe how antidiuretic hormone and aldosterone levels influence the volume and concentration of urine

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Left kidney extends slightly more superiorly than right Both kidneys and adrenal glands are retroperitoneal Hilus Entry for renal artery and renal nerves Exit for renal veins and ureter The kidneys

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Superficial outer cortex and inner medulla The medulla consists of 6-18 renal pyramids The cortex is composed of roughly 1.25 million nephrons Major and minor calyces along with the pelvis drain urine to the ureters Sectional anatomy of the kidneys

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and renal tubule The renal corpuscle is composed of Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus The renal tubule consists of Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) Loop of Henle Distal convoluted tubule (DCT)
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Nephron empties tubular fluid into collecting system Collecting ducts and papillary ducts Filtrate is produced at the renal corpuscle
