Anatomy and physiology urinary system
- 1.
- 2. Function 1. Remove nitrogenouswastes 2. Maintain electrolyte, acid-base, and fluid balance of blood 3. Homeostatic organ 4. Acts as blood filter 5. Release hormones: calcitriol & erythropoietin
- 3. Kidneys as Filters •Diuretic- loose water; coffee, alcohol • Antidiuretic- retain water; ADH • Aldosterone- sodium & water reabsorption, and K+ excretion • GFR= 180 liters (50 gal) of blood/day • 178-179 liters are reabsorbed back into blood • Excrete a protein free filtrate

- 10. renal cortex renal medulla Each kidney containsover 1 million nephrons and thousands of collecting ducts Collecting duct Loop of Henle PCT DCTGlomerulus
- 11. Glomerulus To renal pelvis Peritubular capillaries Collectingduct PCT Loop of Henle DCT
- 12. Glomerular Filtration afferent arteriole glomerulus efferent arteriole Bowman’s capsule Filtersblood; proteins can’t pass through
- 13. Composition of Glomerular Filtrate •Water • Small Soluble Organic Molecules • Mineral Ions
- 14. Proximal Convoluted Tubule Reabsorbs: water,glucose, amino acids, and sodium. • 65% of Na+ is reabsorbed • 65% of H2O is reabsorbed • 90% of filtered bicarbonate (HCO3 -) • 50% of Cl- and K+
- 15. Loop of Henle Createsa gradient of increasing sodium ion concentration towards the end of the loop within the interstitial fluid of the renal pyramid. • 25% Na+ is reabsorbed in the loop • 15% water is reabsorbed in the loop • 40% K is reabsorbed in the loop
- 16. Distal Convoluted Tubule Under theinfluence of the hormone aldosterone, reabsorbs sodium and secretes potassium. Also regulates pH by secreting hydrogen ion when pH of the plasma is low. • only 10% of the filtered NaCl and 20% of water remains
- 17. Collecting Duct Allows forthe osmotic reabsorption of water. ADH (antidiuretic hormone)- makes collecting ducts more permeable to water-- produce concentrated urine
- 18. From the original1800 g NaCl, only 10 g appears in the urine Urine Water- 95% Nitrogenous waste: • urea • uric acid • creatinine Ions: • sodium • potassium • sulfate • phosphate
- 19. Urinary Bladder ureters internal sphincters externalsphincters urethra
- 20. When bladder fillswith 200 ml of urine, stretch receptors transmit impulses to the CNS and produce a reflex contraction of the bladder (PNS) Diuresis (Micturition) When is incontinence normal?
- 21. Why do doctorsask for a urine sample? Urinalysis characteristics: • smell- ammonia-like • pH- 4.5-8, ave 6.0 • specific gravity– more than 1.0; ~1.001-1.030 • color- affected by what we eat: salty foods, vitamins
- 22. odor- normal isammonia-like diabetes mellitus- smells fruity or acetone like due to elevated ketone levels diabetes insupidus- yucky asparagus--- Odor
- 23. Color- pigment isurochrome Yellow color due to metabolic breakdown of hemoglobin (by bile or bile pigments) Beets or rhubarb- might give a urine pink or smoky color Vitamins- vitamin C- bright yellow Infection- cloudy Color
- 24. Water: s.g. = 1g/liter; Urine:s.g. ~ 1.001 to 1.030 Specific Gravity When urine has high s.g.; form kidney stones Diabetes insipidus- urine has low s.g.; drinks excessive water; injury or tumor in pituitary
- 25. pH- range 4.5-8ave 6.0 vegetarian diet- urine is alkaline protein rich and wheat diet- urine is acidic

- 31. INQUIRY 1. List severalfunctions of the kidneys. 2. What does the glomerulus do? 3. What are several constitutes you should not find in urine? 4. What is specific gravity? 5. What two hormones effect fluid volume and sodium concentration in the urine? 6. Where are the pyramids located in the kidney? 7. What vessel directs blood into the glomerulus? 8. Where does most selective reabsorption occur in the nephron?
