I. Urinary System
A. Humans excrete nitrogenous waste (from amino acids) as urea and uric acid.
B. Kidneys remove waste and water from blood.

II. Kidney Anatomy
A. Outer Kidney = Renal Cortex
Inner Kidney = Renal Medulla
B. Nephron – Functional unit of a kidney (Each kidney contains more than 1 Million nephrons)
C. Kidneys connect to ureter and drain to urinary bladder.

Kidney Physiology
A. Nephron Anatomy:
1. Bowman’s capsule (wall of nephron), 2. Glomerular capillaries,
3. Glomerulus (capsul + capillaries),
4. proximal tubule,
5. loop of Henle, and
6.distal tubule (drains to uretur)

Steps of Urine Formation:
1. Filtration: Glomerular capillaries force water + solutes through capillary walls.

2. Reabsorption: Water and salt leave filtrate (urine-to-be) as they are pumped out of proximal tubule.

2. Reabsorption (con’t)Nephron tubule impermeable to water after Loop of
Henle, but cells still pump out ions.

Water enters capillaries, reentering blood system (reabsorption).
3. Tubular Secretion: Active transport; reverse of reabsorption.

A
B
C
D
E
1. Where filtration occurs; where reabsorption occurs; where tubular secretion occurs.
2. Where is nephron permeable to water; where is it impermeable to water; where does active transport occur.
3. Where water is reabsorbed; where glucose is reabsorbed; what accounts for changes in filtrate concentration (see handout).
4. Correctly identify components of nephron.
