The Kidneys
Functions
Remove metabolic waste products from the blood Secrete the hormone erythropoietin, which stimulates
bone marrow to produce red blood cells Secrete the hormone renin, which helps regulate blood pressure
DescriptionThe kidneys are bean-shaped organs that lie behind the peritoneal cavity (retroperitoneal) on either side of the vertebral column.

Renal sinus – concave depression of the surface of the kidney
Hilum – point of entry for the renal artery, renal vein, and ureter
Renal pelvis – expansion of the ureter that further divides into calyces

Renal cortex – outermost portion of the kidney that covers the pyramids and dips down between them
Renal medulla – middle portion that also divides into renal pyramids
Renal column – portion of the cortex between pyramids

The Kidneys: Nephrons
Renal Corpuscles
Composed of a group of capillaries called a glomerulus Glomerulus is surrounded by Bowman’s capsule Blood filtration occurs in corpuscle
Removes waste products from the blood Each kidney contains about 1 million nephrons Made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule
Extend from the Bowman’s capsule of a nephron Consist of three parts:
Proximal convoluted tubule Loop of Henle Distal convoluted tubule
Renal Tubules
Glomerulus

The Kidneys – Nephrons (cont.)
Veins of the Kidney
Afferent Arteriole
Glomerulus
Efferent Arteriole
Peritubular Capillaries
Afferent arterioles deliver blood to the glomeruli
Efferent arterioles carry blood from the glomeruli to peritubular capillaries

What are the functions of the kidney?
ANSWER: The kidney removes metabolic waste products from the blood, secretes erythropoietin to help regulate RBC production, and secretes renin to help regulate the BP.
Correct!

Urine Formation: Glomerular Filtration
First process occurs in renal corpuscles
Fluid part of the blood is forced from glomerulous into Bowman’s capsule Becomes glomerular filtrate
Glomerulus

30-14
Factors affecting glomerular filtration Filtration pressure – amount of pressure
that forces filtrate from the glomerulus into Bowman’s capsule. Determined by blood pressure
Rate of filtration – sympathetic nervous system control Constriction of afferent arterioles decreases
filtration pressure

30-15
Second process in urine formation Glomerular filtrate proximal convoluted tubule
Nutrients, water, and ions pass through the walls of the renal tubule into the peritubular capillaries
Water reabsorption depends on hormones Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Aldosterone Both increase water reabsorption, which decreases urine
production
Urine Formation: Tubular Reabsorption

Urine Formation: Tubular Secretion
Third process of urine formation
Substances move from blood in the peritubular capillaries into the renal tubules
Secreted substances
Drugs
Hydrogen ions
Waste products
Tubular Secretion

30-18
Urine composition Mostly water Urea and uric acid
Formed by the breakdown of proteins and nucleic acids
Trace amounts of amino acids and various ions
Secretion of waste products helps maintain the acid-base balance

Ureters, Urinary Bladder, and Urethra (cont.)
Urinary bladder Expandable muscular organ
Stores up to 600 ml urine on average
Detrusor muscle – smooth muscle in wall of bladder Trigone – triangle on internal floor of bladder formed by
urethra and ureters Micturation
Process of urination Stretching of bladder triggers process
Approximately 150cc of urineBladder

Impulses to contract urethra; inhibit micturition impulse until ready to urinate
Urination External urethral
sphincter relaxes Micturation reflex –
impulses from pons and hypothalamus
Detrusor muscle contracts
Urine expelledBladderdistends
Stretch receptors
Spinal cord
Parasympathetic nerves stimulate detrusor muscle

Urethra Tube that moves urine from the bladder to the
outside world Shorter in females – patient education
Urinate when urge occurs Drink adequate clear fluids Wipe front to back Urinate after intercourse

True or False:
___ Ureters move urine by peristalsis.
___ The detrusor is formed by the openings of the ureters and urethra.
___ The process of micturition is triggered when the bladder contains about
150 ml urine.
___ The urethra move urine from the kidney to the bladder.
___ The urethra is longer in females.
___ Contraction of the detrusor muscle pushes urine from the bladder.

Diseases and Disorders of the Urinary System
Disease/Disorder Description
Acute renal failure Sudden loss of kidney function; may be reversible with treatment
Chronic renal failure
Kidneys slowly use ability to function; not reversible
Cystitis Urinary bladder infection; more common in females
Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the glomeruli of the kidney; one cause of chronic renal failure
Incontinence Inability to control urination

30-26
Disease/Disorder Description
Polycystic kidney disease
Enlargement of kidneys because of the presence of many cysts within them; slow, progressive disease
Pyelonephritis Complicated urinary tract infection; starts with a bladder infection and spreads to both kidneys; can be acute or chronic
Renal calculi Kidney stones; can become lodged in ducts within kidneys or ureters

In Summary The organs of the urinary system include the
kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra The kidneys remove metabolic waste products from
the blood and secrete erythropoietin and renin Urine travels through the ureters to the bladder Stretching of the bladder triggers micturition reflex Urine travels from the bladder through the urethra to
the outside world
