URINARY SYSTEM
kidneys (2) are beanshaped organs ,10 cm long ,located below thediaphragm nearthe back

3 main functions:
1. Excretion(remove wastes of cellularmetabolism from the blood)
2. Regulation, homeostasis(concentrations of substances found inbody fluids,plasma,pH, blood pressure)
3. Secretion (rennin, and erythropoietin)

Kidney Structure
Kidneys consist ofmicroscopic
structures called
NEPHRONS.
![Page 13: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A NEPHRONMade of :1- Glomerulus: a network ofcapillaries
2- Bowman’s
capsule:
cup-like structuresurrounding theglomerulus
3- Renal tubule
![Page 14: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Proximal convolutedtubule (PCT)
longest, most coiled,simple cuboidal withbrush border
Nephron loop - Ushaped; descending +ascending limbs
Distal convoluted tubule(DCT)
cuboidal, minimalmicrovilli
![Page 15: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Juxta-glomerular apparatus:
A group of spindle shaped cells in the mediaof afferent glomerular arterioles
-Secrete rennin ( increase renal blood flow ). -Secrete erythropoietine, a hormonal agentnecessary for production of red blood cellsby bone marrow.
-Secrete chemical factor ,regulate the outputof aldosterone.

A nephron works in 3 stages: 1- Filtrations stage: water, minerals,
salts, urea, amino acids and glucose arefiltered out of the blood
![Page 17: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Filterate170-180L/dayresemble blood plasma (except RBCs,plasma
protein
3 forces : High glomerular capillaries pressure
High glomerular osmotic pressure
Low filterate pressure
![Page 18: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2- Reabsorptionstage:
water, minerals,amino acids and
glucose arereabsorbed byactive transportfrom the renaltubule into thecapillaries
3- Secretion stage

Urine Volume
Normal volume - 1 to 2 L/day
Polyuria > 2 L/day
Oliguria < 500 mL/day
Anuria - 0 to 100 mL
![Page 23: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
DiabetesChronic polyuria
With hyperglycemia and glycosuria
diabetes mellitus I and II, insulinhyposecretion/insensitivity
gestational diabetes, 1 to 3% of pregnancies pituitary diabetes, hypersecretion of GH adrenal diabetes, hypersecretion of cortisol
With glycosuria but no hyperglycemia renal diabetes, hereditary deficiency of glucose
transporters
With no hyperglycemia or glycosuria
diabetes insipidus, ADH hyposecretion

URETERS
Tubes
carry urinefrom thekidney to thebladder
![Page 25: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
URINARY BLADDER
Stores urine

URETHRA
Tube thatcarries urinefrom thebladder to theoutside of thebody

Function - Homeostasis
Acid-Base Balance Kidneys regulate the pH, mineral ion concentration,and water composition of the blood.
By exchanging hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions,the blood plasma is maintained by the kidney at pH
7.4. Urine, becomes either acidic at pH 5 or alkaline atpH 8.
Water Balance Aldosterone
Plasma Volume ADH
![Page 28: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Aldosterone
A steroid hormone (m alocorticoid)
It is formed in the outer-section (zona
glomerulosa) of the adrenal cortex
It diminishes the excretion of Na+ ions andtherefore water, and stimulates the excretionof K+ ions by the kidneys.
![Page 29: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
ADH (VASOPRESSIN) when the body is low on water.
kidneys conserve water
osmotic activity increase
con. urine.
→ stimulate OSMOTIC RECEPTORS in thehypothalamus
→ stimulation of posterior pituitary lobe
→ activation of VASOPRESSIN→ increase collecting ducts permeability for water
→ reabsorption →HYPERTONIC URINE

Malfunctions
Kidney Diseases: Various conditions in which thekidneys are unable to properlyexcrete nitrogenous wastes
![Page 31: physiology : Excretion](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54813351b4795932578b483b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Kidney stones: Substances crystalize out of the urinein the urinary tract or in the kidney
Some pass out in the urine on theirown
Some can be shattered with lasers orsound waves
Some are surgically removed
