Urinary System Chapter 17
2
Functions Filtration of blood Body fluid regulation Waste removal
Water/salt balance pH balance Waste removal
3
Key Structures Kidneys Renal Veins Renal Arteries Ureters
Urinary Bladder Urethra
5
Path of Urine Blood to kidney Urine Out Ureter Bladder Urethra Out
6
Kidneys Red/Brown color, bean shaped 12 cm long Enclosed by a capsule
7
Functions of Kidneys Filter blood
Keep what is needed; excrete what is not Maintain content, volume, pH of body fluid Other functions Maintain RBC production Regulate blood volume and pressure
8
Kidney Structures Renal Medulla Renal Cortex Major Calyx Minor Calyx
Nephrons Major Calyx Minor Calyx
9
Blood Flow to Kidneys Blood from abdominal aorta to renal arteries
Blood filtered 1st Gas exchange 2nd Renal veins take deoxygenated blood from kidneys Veins lead to inferior vena cava
11
Nephrons A kidney has 1 million of these Smallest unit of filtration
Blood supply to nephron Blood taken to nephron by afferent arteriole Efferent arteriole takes filtered (but not deoxygenated blood) to peritubular capillaries (surround tubes of nephron)

Blood Supply cont. Glomerulus: cluster of blood capillaries
Bowman’s capsule: cup like structure that surrounds blood capillaries
19
Parts of Nephron Bowman’s Capsule Proximal (Convoluted) Tubule
Loop of Henle (Desecending/Ascending) Distal (Convoluted) Tubule Collecting Duct

23
Urine Formation Three Stages 2 & 3 happen in rest of the nephron
1. Filtration Glomerulus/Bowman’s Capsule 2. Secretion 3. Reabsorption 2 & 3 happen in rest of the nephron
24
Filtration Glomerulus is leaky; so portion of the blood is filtered out of it and into the Bowman’s capsule Filtration depends on pressure
25
Pressure High Pressure
Forces small things from glomerulus to Bowman’s capsule Anything that leaves blood and enters capsule is called filtrate
26
Pressures to Know Hydrostatic pressure: pressure due to presence of water Osmotic pressure: pressure due to high concentration of dissolved solutes “Pulling pressure” Water is pulled toward solutes
27
Outward force, glomerular hydrostatic pressure = +60 mm
Fig17.10 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Blood flow Blood flow Plasma colloid osmotic pressure Glomerular hydrostatic pressure Net filtration pressure Capsular hydrostatic pressure Net Outward Pressure Outward force, glomerular hydrostatic pressure = +60 mm Inward force of plasma colloid osmotic pressure = –32 mm Inward force of capsular hydrostatic pressure = –18 mm Net filtration pressure = +10 mm
28
Overall Net filtration pressure forces substances out of glomerulus and into capsule
29
Factors Affecting Filtration
Change in diameter of arterioles Smaller afferent arteriole = less filtration Smaller efferent arteriole = more filtration Less proteins in blood = less glomerular osmotic pressure = more filtration More pressure in capsule = less filtration
30
Reabsorption Mostly in proximal tubule
Microvilli Glucose, amino acids, water, protein There is a limit to reabsorption, so these are still excreted in urine as well
31

32
Secretion Opposite of reabsorption Excess H ions and organic compounds
33
Urine Composition Varies from time to time; reflects the amounts of water/solutes that the kidneys eliminate to maintain homeostasis 95% water, and also contains urea, uric acid, a trace of amino acids, and electrolytes
34
Urine Elimination Pathway of urine after forming in nephron:
Collecting Duct Minor calyces Major calyces Renal Pelvis Ureter Bladder Urethra OUT!

36
Ureters 1 per kidney Peristalsis forces urine down
Valve at end allows urine into bladder
38
Bladder Muscular, hollow, sphere, highly folded
Stores urine, forces it into urethra
39
Micturition Reflex Process by which urine leaves bladder
Stretching of bladder detected by micturition reflex center of spinal cord Causes: Bladder muscle contraction Urge to urinate Internal urethral sphincter relaxes External urethral sphincter relaxes (voluntary control)
40
Urethra Opening from bladder to external environment
41
Diuretics
42
Kidney Stones
