One problem:
•Mammalian blood contains metabolic waste products that must be removed - without removing useful materials.

![Page 3: The Mammalian Excretory System Principles of Modern Biology II At Wilkes University Kenneth M. Klemow, Ph.D](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0b5503460f949ddedf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Another problem:
•Terrestrial mammals must maintain a relatively constant osmotic level.
•Living on land promotes desiccation; thus must retain water.•Occasionally we have excess water and must excrete it. http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/

The solution
•Mammals have an excretory system that removes waste products and maintains osmotic balance.

At the glomerulus
Blood is filtered 2000 L/day
Raw urine passes into capsule space 180 L/day
Remaining blood flows into efferent arteriole

At the proximal tubule
Useful molecules (sugars, amino acids, bicarbonate, potassium) are resorbed from filtrate into blood
Na+ is resorbed by active transport
Cl- and water follow passively
Urine is iso-osmotic to blood

Making hyperosmotic urineStep 1
In ascending branch, Na+ is resorbed by active transport
Cl- follows passivelyWater stays behindUrine becomes more diluteMedulla tissue becomes
more salty - giving gradient

Opposite flow in loop of Henle magnifies saltiness in tissue, giving “Countercurrent Multiplier” effect.

Making hyperosmotic urineStep 3
In distal tubule, urine is hypo-osmotic to blood
H+ and K+ are secreted into tubule
Urine becomes more acidic

Making hyperosmotic urineStep 4
In collecting duct, watery urine passes through salty medulla.
H2O leaves, assuming antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is present
Urine becomes more concentrated H2O

Making hyperosmotic urineStep 4
In collecting duct, watery urine passes through salty medulla.
H2O leaves, assuming antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is present
Urine becomes more concentrated H2O

Note: ADH allows us to retain water under normal circumstances

ADH may not be present
Excessively dilute urine or alcohol in blood cuts off flow of ADH from posterior pituitary
Collecting ducts do not resorb water
Watery urine leaves collecting duct

Finally
Sodium concentrations and blood pressure are regulated by hormones aldosterone and atrial natriuretic hormones
