URINARY SYSTEM
3
To identify and describe the main organs of the urinary system To describe the structure of a nephron. To describe the 3 steps of urine formation in the nephron. OBJECTIVE
4
URINARY SYSTEM All reactions in the body require watery surroundings in order to occur That fluid must be closely regulated to ensure that the solution is not too salty or not salty enough The urinary system helps to keep that balance.

SIMON SAYS
6
KIDNEY remove wastes from the blood, form urine
7
URETERS transfer urine from the kidneys to the bladder
8
BLADDER store urine until it is released by the body
9
URETHRA carry urine from bladder to outside of the body
10
NEPHRON The kidney is made up of repeating units called nephrons These help maintain fluid balances

NEPHRON STRUCTURE
12
Glomerular capsule Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) Nephron Loop Collecting Duct Glomerulus
13
Renal corpuscle NEPHRON STRUCTURE
14
Take 2 minutes to study your nephron diagrams. Be able to label Renal corpuscle Glomerulus Glomerular capsule Proximal Convoluted Tubule Nephron Loop Distal Convoluted Tubule Collecting Duct NEPHRON STRUCTURE 2:001:591:581:571:561:551:541:531:521:511:501:491:481:471:461:451:441:431:421:411:401:391:381:371:361:351:341:331:321:311:301:291:281:271:261:251:241:231:221:211:201:191:181:171:161:151:141:131:121:111:101:091:081:071:061:051:041:031:021:011:000:590:580:570:560:550:540:530:520:510:500:490:480:470:460:450:440:430:420:410:400:390:380:370:360:350:340:330:320:310:300:290:280:270:260:250:240:230:220:210:200:190:180:170:160:150:140:130:120:110:100:090:080:070:060:050:040:030:020:01End

NEPHRON STRUCTURE
16
Occurs in nephron 3 Steps Filtration Reabsorption Secretion URINE FORMATION
17
Movement of water and solutes from the capillaries into the glomerular capsule URINE FORMATION: FILTRATION What about blood?
18
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR): total amount of water filtered per unit of time URINE FORMATION: FILTRATION
19
Movement of useful substances (water, salts, glucose) back into the capillaries. URINE FORMATION: REABSORPTION
20
Filtrate from glomerular capsule flows into the renal tubule. Substances are reabsorbed into the surrounding capillaries. URINE FORMATION: REABSORPTION
21
Sodium is actively pumped out of the epithelial cells of the renal tubule and diffuses into capillaries. URINE FORMATION: REABSORPTION
22
The increased sodium in the interstitial space creates high osmotic pressure, which draws water out of the tubule by osmosis. URINE FORMATION: REABSORPTION
23
At the same time that the “good” substances are being reabsorbed, wastes (urea) still in the blood are actively secreted from the capillaries. URINE FORMATION: SECRETION
24
URINE FORMATION
25
PRACTICE
26
What causes sodium reabsorption? PRACTICE
27
What causes water reabsorption? PRACTICE
28
In which step of urine formation are waste substances put INTO the renal tubule? PRACTICE
