Functions of urinary system, Kidney & NephronShruti Richa
The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood, remove waste and regulate fluid balance by producing urine. The urine travels from the kidneys through the ureters into the bladder, where it is stored until excreted through the urethra. The urinary system plays key roles in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte and acid-base balance, and red blood cell production by releasing hormones and filtering wastes from the bloodstream.
This document discusses water and electrolyte balance in the human body. It covers several key points:
1) Water is the most abundant component of the body, accounting for 60-70% of total body weight in adults. Humans can survive one month without food but only about a week without water.
2) Water content varies between tissues and changes with age. It is regulated to maintain homeostasis through thirst, antidiuretic hormone secretion, and kidney function.
3) Sodium, potassium, and chloride are the major electrolytes and their plasma levels are tightly controlled. Imbalances can cause dehydration or water retention.
4) Diuretics are sometimes used to treat water
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found primarily in the liver and kidney that was originally referred to as serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). ALT levels are normally low in the serum but increase with liver damage and are used to screen for and monitor liver disease. The ALT test works by measuring the conversion of L-alanine and α-ketoglutarate to pyruvate and glutamate by SGPT, and then measuring the intensity of the brown colored complex formed between pyruvate and 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine. Elevated ALT can indicate liver damage from viral hepatitis, toxins, drugs, tumors, or chronic liver
The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood and remove waste, which is transported through the ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until it is released through the urethra. Key functions include filtering waste from the blood and maintaining water and electrolyte balance. The kidneys receive blood from the renal arteries and produce urine that is collected in the renal pelvis before exiting through the ureters.
This document discusses fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. It explains that water makes up 30 liters of body weight and is distributed between intracellular and extracellular spaces. Daily water intake and output are balanced through hormones like ADH and aldosterone. Disturbances can cause hypovolemia or hypervolemia. Hypovolemia results from decreased water intake or increased losses through vomiting or diarrhea. Hypervolemia is caused by excess IV fluid administration or fluid retention in conditions like heart or kidney failure. Electrolyte imbalances like hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and hypokalemia are also discussed along with their causes and treatments.

Anatomy of urinary tract with special reference to anatomy of kidney and
nephrons, functions of kidney and urinary tract, physiology of urine formation,
micturition reflex and role of kidneys in acid base balance, role of RAS in kidney
and disorders of kidney.
The urinary system functions to regulate homeostasis by controlling water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance and eliminating waste from the body. The major organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to form urine and are made up of nephrons, the functional units that filter blood and remove waste. Urine is formed through the processes of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion in the nephrons and is temporarily stored in the bladder before being excreted through the urethra.
The urinary system filters wastes from the blood and removes them from the body as urine. The kidneys filter blood to form urine and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance. Each kidney contains millions of nephrons, the functional units of filtration. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder via ureters and is stored in the bladder until elimination through the urethra. Hormones help regulate urine concentration and output to maintain fluid homeostasis.
This document discusses renal function tests (RFTs) which are used to assess kidney function. It outlines the key functions of the kidney including excretion of waste, regulation of acid-base balance and electrolyte levels. RFTs evaluate parameters like glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow, and tubular function. There are four main types of RFTs: urine analysis, concentration/dilution tests, blood chemistry tests, and renal clearance tests. Blood chemistry tests measure waste products like creatinine and urea to indicate kidney excretion ability, while urine tests examine physical/chemical properties and sediment to identify abnormalities. RFTs are used to diagnose and monitor kidney disease as well as drug toxicity.
Urinalysis is the testing of urine to check for physical characteristics and composition changes that can indicate disease. It provides baseline health information and monitors changes in response to medication or illness. Abnormal results from a dipstick test of urine characteristics like protein, glucose, blood, nitrites and leukocytes can suggest conditions like urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or diabetes. The procedure for urinalysis involves using reagent test strips to chemically analyze a fresh urine sample, then interpreting the results according to time-dependent color changes on a reference chart.
2. DIGESTION • The process of conversion of complex food substances to simple absorbable forms is called digestion. • Digestion is carried out by our digestive system by mechanical and biochemical methods.
3. PHASES OF DIGESTION • The activities of the digestive system can be grouped under five main headings. • Ingestion :-This is the taking of food into the alimentary tract, i.e. eating and drinking. • Propulsion :-This mixes and moves the contents along the alimentary tract. • Digestion :-This consists of: • Mechanical breakdown of food by mastication(chewing). • Chemical digestion of food into small molecules by enzymes present in secretions produced by glands and accessory organs of the digestive system
The stomach has five recognizable parts and two curvatures. Sphincters exist at the entry and exit of the stomach to control movement of contents. The stomach stores food, secretes acid and enzymes to digest food into chyme, and empties at a controlled rate into the small intestine. Acid secretion is stimulated by acetylcholine, gastrin, and histamine in three phases: cephalic, gastric, and intestinal. The stomach mucosa protects itself from acid through secretion of mucus and bicarbonate. Peptic ulcers can form if these defenses are overwhelmed.

Unit – 8:
Structure and functions of the kidney, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra
Formation and composition of urine.
Fluid and electrolyte balance
Structure and functions of the skin.
Regulation of the body temperature.
Excretory system:
The excretory system is performs the function of excretion
It is the process of removing the wastes
There are several parts of the body that are involved in this process such as sweat glands, the liver, the lungs and the kidney system
Kidney:
The kidneys are a bean-shaped organs - found abdominal cavity, just below the rib cage.
The right kidney is slightly lower than the left because of the position of the liver.
Every human has two kidneys.
Diagram of Renal System
Structure of kidney:
Kidney consist of 3 basic parts
Renal cortex (outer layer )
Renal medulla (inner layer )
Renal pelvis.
Renal cortex:
The renal cortex is the outer layer of the kidney, it is covered with capsule
Erythropoietin a hormone is produced in the renal cortex (Erythropoiesis)
Renal medulla:
Renal medulla is the inner layer of the kidney. The medulla consists of multiple pyramidal tissue masses, called the renal pyramids, which are triangle structures that contain a network of nephrons
Renal pelvis:
The renal pelvis contains the hilum.
The hilum is the concave part of the bean-shape where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit the kidney
It is also the point of exit for the ureters carry urine away from the kidney
Both of the ureters supply the urine into urinary bladder,
From there, urine is expelled through the urethra and out of the body.
The blood arrives at the kidney via the renal artery, renal veins collect deoxygenated blood
Nephron:
The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney.
It is composed of renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
Parts of Nephron:
Renal corpuscle (glomerulus within bowman's capsule)
Proximal convoluted tubule
Intermediate tubule (loop of Henle)
Distal convoluted tubule
Collecting ducts
1. The Glomerulus:
The glomerulus is receives blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation.
Here, fluid and solutes are filtered out of the blood and into the space made by Bowman’s capsule.
A group of specialized cells known as juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) are located around the afferent arteriole where it enters the renal corpuscle. The JGA secretes an enzyme called renin, it is involved in the process of blood volume homeostasis (Bp).
2. Proximal Convoluted Tubule:
The proximal tubule is the first site of water reabsorption into the bloodstream, and the site where the majority of water and salt reabsorption takes place.
3. The Loop of Henle:
The loop of Henle is a U-shaped tube that consists of a descending limb and ascending limb. It transfers fluid from the proximal to the distal tubule
4. Distal Convoluted Tubule:
The distal convoluted tubule is the final site of reabsorption in the nephron.
5. Collecting Duct:
The collecting duct

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
7. URINE COMPOSITION
• Ph of urine is about 4.6 to 7.
• Normal 95% water, 5% solutes.
• Major organic solute is urea( PROTEIN, AMINO ACIDS BREAKDOWN);makes up approx.
One half of the dissolved solids
• Inorganic chloride, sodium and potassium.
• May also contain cells, casts, crystals, mucus, and bacteria.
9. Abnormal Constituents Of Urine
• Protein
• Ketone bodies
• Blood
• Bile salts
• Bile pigments
• Fats
10. Biomedical Importance Of Urine
• Diagnostic Tool
• Kidney function Assessment
• Drug Monitoring
• Pregnancy Test
• Disease Marker
• Electrolyte
11. Urine analysis
A urinalysis is a simple test
that looks at a small sample
of your urine. It can help
find problems that need
treatment, including
infection or kidney
problems.
12. Collection of urine specimen
• Containers for the collection of urine should be wide-
mouthed, clean, and dry.
• Analysed within two hours of collection else requires
refrigeration.
• Label the containers with the patient’s name, date of birth
and time.
16. Facts about urine
• An adult bladder can typically store up to two cups of urine for 2 to 5hrs.
• Average person produces about 1 to 2 litres of urine per day.
• Urine contains a variety of chemical compounds that can be detected by trained
dogs.
• In ancientRome, urinewas used as cleaning agent , tooth whitener and even as a
componentin certain cosmetics
• People with shorter urethraget more UTIs.
• The bladder is as big as your brain.
