Urinary System
Functions of the Urinary System
• Primary: Elimination of waste products:– Nitrogenous waste– Toxins– Drugs
• Secondary: Regulate homeostasis– Water balance– Electrolytes– Acid-base balance– Blood pressure– RBC formation
Organs of Urinary System
• Kidneys• Ureters• Urinary Bladder• Urethra
Location of Kidneys
Kidney RegionsRenal cortex—outer regionRenal medulla—inside the cortexRenal pelvis—inner collecting tube
Kidney Structures
• Renal or medullary pyramids—triangular regions of tissue in the medulla
• Renal columns—extensions of cortex-like material inward that separate the pyramids
• Calyces—cup-shaped structures that funnel urine towards the renal pelvis
Kidney Functions• One-quarter of the total blood supply of the body passes
through the kidneys each minute• Renal artery provides each kidney with arterial blood
supply• Renal artery divides into segmental arteries interlobar
arteries arcuate arteries cortical radiate arteries
Nephrons
• The structural and functional units of the kidneys
• Responsible for forming urine
• Main structures of the nephrons– Glomerulus– Renal tubule
Nephrons
• Glomerulus – Knot of capillaries– Capillaries are covered
with podocytes from the renal tubule
– Glomerulus sits within a glomerular (Bowman’s) capsule (the first part of the renal tubule)
Nephron
• Renal tubule extends from glomerular capsule and ends at the collecting duct– Glomerular
(Bowman’s) capsule– Proximal convoluted
tubule (PCT)– Loop of Henle– Distal convoluted
tubule (DCT)
