The Kidneys Pathway of Urine through the Nephron
First, filtered in the renal corpuscle Urine begins as filtrate Next, filtrate flows into renal tubule First, into the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) Next, the loop of Henle Finally, the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) Last, exits to collecting duct Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The Kidneys Key Note The kidneys remove waste products from the blood; they also assist in the regulation of blood volume and blood pressure, ion levels, and blood pH. Nephrons are the primary functional units of the kidneys. PLAY Kidney Function: Urinary System Structure Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Filtration at the Glomerulus Blood pressure forces fluid and dissolved substances across the endothelial wall of glomerular capillaries into the capsular space Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) depends on blood pressure Any change in blood pressure affects filtration Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
34
Principles of Urine Production
Renin Release Decline in filtration pressure (blood pressure) triggers renin release Released by juxtaglomerular apparatus Renin leads to increased blood volume and blood pressure GFR returns toward normal Restores homeostasis Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
35
Principles of Urine Production
Key Note Roughly 180 liters of filtrate is produced at the glomeruli each day. That represents 70 times the total plasma volume. Almost all of that fluid volume must be reabsorbed to avoid fatal dehydration. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Principles of Urine Production
Key Note Reabsorption depends on diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. The mechanism of water reabsorption is “water follows salt.” Many of these processes are regulated by local or hormonal mechanisms. Secretion is a selective, carrier-mediated process. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
47
Principles of Urine Production
Vascular Control of Kidney Function Automatic regulation of filtration pressure by changes in diameter of afferent and efferent arterioles Autonomic regulation by sympathetic activation Powerful vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles Decreases GFR Also, redirects blood flow to other organs Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Water Balance Water intake normally equals water loss Water is gained from Eating Drinking Aerobic metabolism Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
65
Fluid, Electrolyte, & Acid-Base
Fluid Shift—Water movement between the ECF and the ICF Water moves to establish osmotic equilibrium Hypertonic ECF pulls water out of cells Hypotonic ECF push water into cells Causes cellular swelling Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
66
Fluid, Electrolyte, & Acid-Base
Electrolyte Balance Total electrolyte concentration affects water balance Individual concentrations affect a range of cellular functions Problems commonly result from a mismatch of sodium ion gain/loss Potassium ion imbalance can be dangerous or deadly Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
67
Fluid, Electrolyte, & Acid-Base
Sodium Ion Balance Sodium uptake from the gut parallels dietary intake Sodium loss occurs mainly in urine and sweat Sodium reabsorption along DCT stimulated by aldosterone Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
68
Fluid, Electrolyte, & Acid-Base
Potassium Ion Balance Concentration of K+ in ECF normally very low Urinary excretion increases when sodium levels are low or when potassium levels are high Aldosterone stimulates potassium ion excretion Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
69
Fluid, Electrolyte, & Acid-Base
Key Note Fluid balance and electrolyte balance are interrelated. The impact of water gains or losses is reduced by fluid shifts between the ECF and ICF and by hormonal control of intake and excretion. Electrolyte gains or losses are opposed by fluid shifts, adjustments in ion absorption and secretion, and to water gain and loss.

Fluid, Electrolyte, & Acid-Base
Acid-Base Balance Normal pH of body fluids range from pH 7.35 to pH 7.45 pH > 7.45 is alkalosis (too alkaline) pH < 7.35 is acidosis (too acidic) Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Compensations for pH Disturbances Respiratory compensation—Changes in ventilation lead to changes in pH by raising or lowering CO2 levels Renal compensation—Kidney varies H+ secretion and bicarbonate reabsorption depending on pH of ECF Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
78
Fluid, Electrolyte, & Acid-Base
Two Classes of Acid-Base Disorders Respiratory acid-base disorder—Caused by abnormal respiratory function leading to large changes in CO2 levels Metabolic acid-base disorder—Caused by formation of organic acids or conditions which disturb the level of bicarbonate ion such as diarrhea or vomiting Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
79
