Urinary System
Kidneys
Ureters
UB
Urethra
Functions
Formation of urine
Urine elimination
Excretion of waste products
KIDNEYS
Location : retroperitoneal
Internal Structure
Renal cortex
Renal medulla
Renal pyramids
Renal pelvis
Calyx/calyces
The Nephron
Structural and functional unit of the kidney
Renal corpusle
Glomerulus
Bowmans capsule
Renal tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule
Loop of Henle
Distal convoluted tubule
Collecting tubule papillary duct calyx of renal pelvis
URINE FORMATION
Glomerular Filtration
Renal corpuscles
From glomerulus to Bowmans capsule
High BP in the glomerulus forces plasma, dissolved
materials and small proteins out of the blood and into
Bowmans capsule
Filtrate
Filtration is only selective to size
Blood cells and large proteins remain in the blood
100-125ml/min
Tubular Reabsorption
Renal tubules
From filtrate in the renal tubule to the blood in the
peritubular capillaries
99% filtrate reabsorbed
1% becomes urine
Active transport
Passive transport
Osmosis
Pinocytosis
Tubular Secretion
Renal tubules
From the blood in the peritubular capillaries to the
filtrate in the renal tubule
Creatinine and other waste urine
Aldosterone
ANP
Atria
ADH
Adrenal cortex
Posterior pituitary
PTH
Parathyroid glands
OTHER KIDNEY
FUNCTIONS
Erythropoietin secretion
Response to hypoxia
Stimulation of the red bone marrow to increase
rate of RBC production
Vitamin D activation
ELIMINATION OF URINE
URETERS
URINARY BLADDER
Below peritoneum
Behind pubis bones
Mucosa
URETHRA
Prostatic urethra
surrounded by the prostate gland
Membranous urethra
surrounded by external urethral sphincter
voluntary, made up of skeletal muscle
Cavernous urethra
spongy/penile
longest

Water : 55-75%
Electrolytes : ions in body fluids, mostly
minerals
Water Compartments :
ICF
ECF
Water Intake
Water Output
Fluids
Foods
Metabolic water
Urine
Sweat
Exhaled air
Feces
Hypothalamus : osmoreceptors
Dehydration : thirst
ADH : increase water reabsorption
Aldosterone : increase reabsorption of Na+
ions and water
ANP : loss of Na+ ions and water
ELECTROLYTES
