The Urinary System
Most of the work in the urinary system is done by the kidneys. They are responsible for: Regulating
ionic composition of blood (Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, HPO4--)
blood pH (excrete H+ & conserve HCO3-) blood volume (via H2O) blood pressure (via H2O & the hormone renin) blood glucose level (by using the aa glutamine to
make glucose—called gluconeogenesis) blood osomolarity (total # of solutes/liter)
![Page 4: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Urinary System
Production of hormones (calcitriol, the active form of vit. D & erythropoietin which stimulates RBC production)
Excretion of wastes & foreign substances (ammonia & urea from aa breakdown, bilirubin from hemoglobin breakdown, uric acid from nucleic acid breakdown, drugs & toxins)
The rest of the urinary system is responsible for urine transport & storage.

The Urinary System--anatomy
Kidneys are reddish kidney-bean shaped organs.
Size of a bar of soap.Btwn peritoneum & posterior wall of
abdomen.At level of T12-L3 (some protection from
ribs 11-12).Concave side faces vertebral column.Blood vessels, nerve & lymph enter kidney
at renal hilum.

The Urinary System--anatomy
Smooth outer region is called renal cortex.
Inner region is called renal medulla.Within medulla are regions called renal
pyramids.Base of pyramid faces cortex, apex (called
renal papilla) faces hilum.Within medulla are the functional units of
the kidney, called nephrons.

The Urinary System--anatomy
Kidneys receive 25% of cardiac output via right & left renal arteries.
These arteries branch several times until they form afferent arterioles.
Each afferent arteriole ends as a tangled ball of capillaries called a glomerulus at the nephron.
![Page 10: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

The Urinary System--anatomy
Glomerular capillaries reunite to form efferent arterioles that carry blood out of glomerulus.
Efferent arterioles branch to form peritubular capillaries which surround some of the tubular parts of the nephron.
Some of these vessels form long loops called vasa recta.
Eventually all these vessels reunite to form renal vein.
![Page 12: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The Urinary System--anatomy
Each nephron has 2 parts:Renal corpuscle
Blood plasma filtered hereConsists of glomerulus & Bowman’s capsule
![Page 14: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Urinary System--anatomy
Renal tubuleFiltered fluid passes into hereConsists of:
Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) Loop of Henle (descending limb, thin & thick
ascending limbs) Distal convoluted tubule (DCT)
Distal convoluted tubules from several nephrons empty into a single collecting duct. Many of these will unite to form papillary ducts.
![Page 15: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The Urinary System--physiology
To produce urine, nephrons & collecting ducts do 3 basic things:
1. Glomerular filtration—water & most blood solutes move across glomerular wall into Bowman’s capsule.
2. Tubular reabsorption—Most water & solutes are moved back into blood stream from the tubules.
3. Tubular secretion—Some materials (water, drugs, wastes) from blood are moved back into the tubules.
![Page 17: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

The Urinary System--physiology
By filtering, reabsorbing & secreting, nephrons help to maintain homeostasis of blood volume & composition.
1 million nephrons/kidneyFilters 150-180 liters/day 99% of that returns to bloodstream1-2 liters excreted as urine
![Page 19: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Urinary System--physiology
The cells that line the glomerular capillaries are “leaky.” They form a filtration membrane.Large solutes like large proteins & blood
cells can’t pass thru.Small molecules do pass thru the capillaries
& into Bowman’s capsule:Water, glucose, vitamins, amino acids ammonia,
urea, ions & some small proteins.
![Page 20: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Urinary System--physiology
In addition to the permeability of the filtration membrane, glomerular blood pressure plays a role.
The hydrostatic pressure of blood here is high & helps to force fluids & solutes thru the filtration membrane like pushing material thru a sieve.
The fluid that collects in Bowman’s capsule is called filtrate.
Amount of filtrate formed each minute determines the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
![Page 21: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

The Urinary System--physiology
Kidneys have mechanisms to adjust GFR: Renal autoregulation: if BP rises or falls, afferent
vessels to nephrons adjust to keep GFR constant. Neural regulation: CNS responds to things like
exercise or hemorrhage to ↓ GFR (less urine & ↑ blood volume to tissues)
Hormonal regulation: Angiotensin II constricts vessels to nephron when blood volume decreases.
![Page 23: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Urinary System--physiology
Reabsorption is the next important task of the nephron.
Almost everything that enters the kidney is reabsorbed or put back into the blood stream.
Filtered fluid becomes tubular fluid once it enters the PCT.
Composition of tubular fluid changes as it passes thru nephron.
Fluid that drains from papillary duct at the end is called urine.
![Page 24: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Urinary System--physiology
Substances can be reabsorbed via active & passive transport or pinocytosis.
Be reabsorbing (bringing substances back into the blood stream) & secreting (putting substances from the blood into the tubular fluid) the kidney is able to maintain constant fluid volume in your body even though your intake can vary.

The Urinary System--physiology
When fluid intake is low, kidney can conserve water & produce small amounts of concentrated urine.
When fluid intake is high, urine is more dilute & in larger quantities.
![Page 27: Reading Part 4: The Urinary System Concepts: Chapter 25 Tortora: Chapter 26 Coloring Book: pp146-150](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649e8f5503460f94b933db/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Urinary System--physiology
The concentration of solutes in the interstitial fluid surrounding the nephron will determine how much water is reabsorbed—i.e. urine concentration.
Remember the rules for osmosis!

The Urinary System--physiology
See AP section of website for tutorial. Material entering Bowman’s capsule is called
filtrate. Filtrate = H2O, NaCl, HCO3-, H+, urea,
glucose, aa, some drugs. #1--PCT—this area actively transports NaCl
from filtrate. H2O will follow. These 2 things are picked up by the blood vessels surrounding each nephron & eventually end up in renal vein.

The Urinary System--physiology
#3--Ascending limb also actively reabsorbs NaCl, but it’s NOT permeable to H2O. NaCl conc. increases in the surrounding tissue.
#2--Descending loop is NOT permeable to NaCl, but IS permeable to H2O. High NaCl conc. in tissue makes H2O diffuse out of descending loop. As a result, fluid in tube gets concentrated.
Because a lot of solute leaves in #3, the fluid in

The Urinary System--physiology
#4--(DCT) ends up being less concentrated than tissue fluid. This causes more H2O to leave the DCT osmotically. By now, urea is the primary solute in the filtrate.
#5--Collecting duct--This part is permeable to H2O but nothing else. As tube descends thru tissue w/ increasing conc., H2O is reabsorbed via osmosis. At the end of collecting duct, concentrated filtrate is called urine.
The reabsorption of fluids can be affected by hormones and drugs.

The Urinary System—storage & elimination
From collecting ducts urine passes to the calyces, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder & urethra.
Ureters from each kidney contract to push urine into bladder. Gravity assists.
Bladder is a hollow, distensible, muscular organ.
Micturition=release of urine from bladder.
