Unit 5 Notes:
The Urinary/Excretory
System
(1) Main Organs
•Kidneys
•Ureters
•Bladder
•Urethra
(2) Functions
•Filter blood
•Remove impurities, toxins,
excess nutrients
•Reabsorb needed water +
nutrients
(3) Kidney Functions
• Excretion of nitrogenous wastes
• Maintain water concentration of
blood
• Maintain electrolyte
concentration of blood
• Regulate blood pH (H ion levels)
(4) Ureter, Bladder &
Urethra Function
• Ureters = Tubes which carry filtered
“liquid waste” towards the bladder.
• Bladder = Storage tank for filtered
“liquid waste”.
• Urethra = Tube which allows filtered
“liquid waste” to exit body.
(5) Kidneys & Blood Supply
• Kidneys use 20% of body’s blood
• Renal Artery = Entering
oxygenated blood
• Renal Vein = Exiting deox. Blood
• All blood is filtered through
nephrons.
(6) Nephrons
• 2 Main Structures:
–Glomerulus  Bundle of capillaries w/
blood to be filtered.
–Renal Tubule  Tubes following
capillaries, which collect filtered contents
•Bowman’s Capsule = Portion of tubule
where initial filtration and absorption
occurs
(7) Urine Formation Steps
1- Filtration:
– Water + Small Solutes are forced through capillary
walls into Bowman’s Capsule.
2- Reabsorption:
– Water, Glucose, Amino Acids & Ions that were filtered
out are actively transported back into capillaries and
blood.
3- Secretion:
– H ions, K ions, urea, and drugs/toxins are forced
through capillary walls into renal tubule.
(8) Regulating Drops in
Blood Pressure
• Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) from Pituitary:
–Increases water reabsorption from renal tubule.
• Aldosterone from Kidney:
–Increases water retention in blood by
reabsorbing more sodium from renal tubule.
• Angiotensin II from Blood:
–Causes vasoconstriction, increasing blood
pressure
(9) Don’t Pee It Out…
• Glucose  Chill out on sweets OR Diabetic?!
• Protein  Increased Physical Activity &
Pregnancy OR Hypertension & Nephron
Disease?!
• Pus  Urinary Tract Infection
• Blood  Kidney Stones, Infection, Trauma,
Anemia ?!
• Bile  Liver Disease?!
(12) Kidney Dialysis
• Used in hospitals when kidneys fail (stop working)
• Blood is filtered through mechanical pump +
tubing which regulates contents
• Causes for Kidney Failure:
–Repeated kidney infections
–Physical Trauma
–Heavy Metal / Chemical poisoning
–Low Blood delivery (arteriosclerosis)

Anatomy unit 4 digestive and excretory systems excretory notes

  • 1. Unit 5 Notes: The Urinary/Excretory System
  • 3.
  • 4. (2) Functions •Filter blood •Remove impurities, toxins, excess nutrients •Reabsorb needed water + nutrients
  • 5. (3) Kidney Functions • Excretion of nitrogenous wastes • Maintain water concentration of blood • Maintain electrolyte concentration of blood • Regulate blood pH (H ion levels)
  • 6. (4) Ureter, Bladder & Urethra Function • Ureters = Tubes which carry filtered “liquid waste” towards the bladder. • Bladder = Storage tank for filtered “liquid waste”. • Urethra = Tube which allows filtered “liquid waste” to exit body.
  • 7.
  • 8. (5) Kidneys & Blood Supply • Kidneys use 20% of body’s blood • Renal Artery = Entering oxygenated blood • Renal Vein = Exiting deox. Blood • All blood is filtered through nephrons.
  • 9.
  • 10. (6) Nephrons • 2 Main Structures: –Glomerulus  Bundle of capillaries w/ blood to be filtered. –Renal Tubule  Tubes following capillaries, which collect filtered contents •Bowman’s Capsule = Portion of tubule where initial filtration and absorption occurs
  • 11.
  • 12.
  • 13. (7) Urine Formation Steps 1- Filtration: – Water + Small Solutes are forced through capillary walls into Bowman’s Capsule. 2- Reabsorption: – Water, Glucose, Amino Acids & Ions that were filtered out are actively transported back into capillaries and blood. 3- Secretion: – H ions, K ions, urea, and drugs/toxins are forced through capillary walls into renal tubule.
  • 14.
  • 15.
  • 16. (8) Regulating Drops in Blood Pressure • Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) from Pituitary: –Increases water reabsorption from renal tubule. • Aldosterone from Kidney: –Increases water retention in blood by reabsorbing more sodium from renal tubule. • Angiotensin II from Blood: –Causes vasoconstriction, increasing blood pressure
  • 17. (9) Don’t Pee It Out… • Glucose  Chill out on sweets OR Diabetic?! • Protein  Increased Physical Activity & Pregnancy OR Hypertension & Nephron Disease?! • Pus  Urinary Tract Infection • Blood  Kidney Stones, Infection, Trauma, Anemia ?! • Bile  Liver Disease?!
  • 18. (12) Kidney Dialysis • Used in hospitals when kidneys fail (stop working) • Blood is filtered through mechanical pump + tubing which regulates contents • Causes for Kidney Failure: –Repeated kidney infections –Physical Trauma –Heavy Metal / Chemical poisoning –Low Blood delivery (arteriosclerosis)
