The Urinary System Unit 5 Section 2 I can: Describe the parts and functions of the urinary system. Explain how the kidneys filter blood. Explain the importance of water to organisms Describe three disorders of the urinary system.

The Urinary System As blood travels through the tissues, it picks up waste produced by the body’s cells. Your blood is like a train that comes to town to drop off supplies and take away garbage. If the waste is not removed, your body can actually be poisoned. Excretion is the process of removing waste products from the body. Three of your body systems have a role in excretion. Your integumentary system releases waste products and water when you sweat. Your respiratory system releases carbon dioxide and water when you exhale. Finally, the urinary system contains the organs that remove waste products from your blood.

The Urinary System Cleaning the Blood As your body performs the chemical activities that keep you alive, waste products, such as carbon dioxide and ammonia, are made. Your body has to get rid of these waste products to stay healthy. The urinary system, shown in Figure 1, removes these waste products from the blood. Figure 1 Urinary System

The Urinary System The Kidneys as Filters The kidneys are a pair of organs that constantly clean the blood. Your kidneys filter about 2,000 L of blood each day. Your body holds only 5.6 L of blood, so your blood cycles through your kidneys about 350 times per day! Inside each kidney, shown in Figure 2, are more than 1 million nephrons. Nephrons are microscopic filters in the kidney that remove wastes from the blood. Nephrons remove many harmful substances. One of the most important substances removed by nephrons is urea (yoo REE uh), which contains nitrogen and is formed when cells use protein for energy.

Figure 2 How the Kidneys Filter Blood

The Urinary System Water In, Water Out You drink water every day. You lose water every day in exhaling, sweat, and urine. You need to get rid of as much water as you drink. If you don’t, your body will swell up. Why is water so important for organisms?

Water acts as a coolant, helping organisms lower their body temperatures when they rise above normal – it absorbs heat It dissolves many substances during chemical reactions For organisms living in water, It is less dense as a solid than as a liquid In humans, it removes waste, lubricates joints, is the medium for transporting nutrients to cells, helps move food through the digestive system, and acts as a solvent for chemical reactions

So, how does your body keep the water levels in balance So, how does your body keep the water levels in balance? The balance of fluids is controlled by chemical messengers in the body called hormones.

The Urinary System Sweat and Thirst When you are too warm, as the boy in Figure 3 is, you lose a lot of water in the form of sweat. The evaporation of water from your skin cools you down. As the water content of the blood drops, the salivary glands produce less saliva. This is one of the reasons you feel thirsty. Figure 3 Drinking water when you exercise helps replace the water you lose when you sweat.

The Urinary System Antidiuretic Hormone When you get thirsty, other parts of your body react to the water shortage, too. A hormone called antidiuretic hormone (AN tee DIE yoo RET ik HAWR MOHN), or ADH, is released. ADH signals the kidneys to take water from the nephrons. The nephrons return the water to the bloodstream. Thus, the kidneys make less urine. When your blood has too much water, small amounts of ADH are released. The kidneys react by allowing more water to stay in the nephrons and leave the body as urine. Diuretics Some beverages contain caffeine, which is a diuretic (DIE yoo RET ik). Diuretics cause the kidneys to make more urine, which decreases the amount of water in the blood. When you drink a beverage that contains water and caffeine, the caffeine increases fluid loss. So, your body gets to use less of the water from the caffeinated beverage than from a glass of water.

The Urinary System Urinary System Problems The urinary system regulates body fluids and removes wastes from the blood. Any problems with water regulation can become dangerous for your body. Some common urinary system problems are described below. •Bacterial Infections Bacteria can get into the bladder and ureters through the urethra and cause painful infections. Infections should be treated early, before they spread to the kidneys. Infections in the kidneys can permanently damage the nephrons. •Kidney Disease Damage to nephrons can prevent normal kidney functioning and can lead to kidney disease. If a person’s kidneys do not function properly, a kidney machine can be used to filter waste from the blood.

The Urinary System •Kidney Stones Sometimes, salts and other wastes collect inside the kidneys and form kidney stones like the one in Figure 4. Some kidney stones interfere with urine flow and cause pain. Most kidney stones pass naturally from the body, but sometimes they must be removed by a doctor. Figure 4 This kidney stone had to be removed from a patient’s urinary system.

The Urinary System Section Summary The urinary system removes liquid waste as urine. The filtering structures in the kidney are called nephrons. Most of the water in the blood is returned to the bloodstream. Urine passes through the ureter, into the bladder, and out of the body through the urethra. Water is important for many reasons including: removes waste, lubricates joints, is the medium for transporting nutrients to cells, helps move food through the digestive system, and acts as a solvent for chemical reactions Disorders of the urinary system include infections, kidney stones, and kidney disease.
