   URINARY SYSTEM 	        CHAPTER 9          ESSENTIALS OF ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
FUNCTIONS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM ELIMINATION OF WASTE PRODUCTS NITROGENOUS WASTES TOXINS DRUGS
FUNCTIONS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM REGULATES ASPECTS OF HOMEOSTASIS WATER BALANCE ELECTROLYTES ACID BASE BALANCE IN THE BLOOD BLOOD PRESSURE RED BLOOD CELL PRODUCTION ACTIVATION OF VITAMIN D
ORGANS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM KIDNEYS ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE &  BLOOD SUPPLY -HIGHLY VASCULAR (25% CARDIAC OUTPUT) PRODUCES URINE (WATER & ELECTROLYTES,  UREA, URIC ACID & CREATINE) INITIALLY AN UL- TRAFILTRATE  OF THE BLOOD. URETERS URINARY BLADDER URETHRA
		    KIDNEYS TWO REDDISH “BEAN SHAPED” EXCRETORY ORGANS THAT FILTERS WASTE (ESPECIALLY UREA) FROM THE BLOOD AND SECRETE THEM AND WATER IN THE URINE. LOCATED ABOVE THE WAIST AND BEHIND THE STOMACH. URINE PASSES OUT OF THE KIDNEY THROUGH URETERS TO THE BLADDER.
 OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE KIDNEYS Produces erythropoietin – stimulates red blood cell production Produces active form of Vitamin D3 – essential for calcium absorption from gut Produces renin – enzyme that participates in a chain of reactions to increase blood pressure
		      THE KIDNEY
	        NEPHRON Functional unit of the kidney Filtration, reabsorption, and secretion occur here Starts in the cortex and loops down into medulla
		        NEPHRON
			URETERS SLENDER TUBES ATTACHING THE KIDNEY TO THE BLADDER CONTINUOUS WITH THE RENAL PELVIS ENTER THE POSTERIOR ASPECT OF THE BLADDER RUNS BEHIND THE PERITONEUM PERISTALSIS AIDS GRAVITY IN URINE TRANSPORT
		URINARY BLADDER SMOOTH, COLLAPSIBLE, MUSCULAR SAC TEMPORARILY STORES URINE
	URINARY BLADDER WALL ,[object Object]
Mucosa made of transitional epithelium
Walls are thick and folded in an empty bladder
Bladder can expand significantly without increasing internal pressure,[object Object]
Release of urine is controlled by two sphincters
