Chapter 26Urinary System
1
Functions:
1.Excretion: removal of waste products from body fluids
2.Elimination: discharge of waste products from body
Chapter 26Urinary System
2
Consists of the
•Kidneys: produce urine
•Ureters: pathway of urine from kidneys to bladder
•Urinary bladder: muscular sac for temporary storage of urine
•Urethra: urine removal pathway
Location of Kidneys
3
Located on either side of the vertebral column (T12-L3)
Superior surface is capped with the adrenal gland.
Protection of Kidneys
4
Renal capsule: inner layer of collagen
Adipose capsule: thick layer of adipose tissue
Renal Fascia: outermost layer of collagen
Kidney Structure
6
2 layers:
1.Cortex: superficial portion, contains nephrons
• Nephron: microscopic, tubular structures that beings urine production
2. Medulla: consists of 6-18 renal pyramids
•Renal lobe: renal pyramid + renal cortex
• where urine is produced
•Renal Pelvis: large chamber which connects the renal lobes to the ureter
Functions of the Kidneys
7
• Removal of metabolic wastes from the blood and excretion to the outside of the body
• Regulation of blood pressure, calcium ion absorption, and the volume, composition, and pH of the blood
Renal Blood Vessels
10
• Kidneys receive 20-25% of total cardiac output
•Receives blood from the renal artery segmental arteries interlobar arteries arcuate arteries interlobular arteries afferent arterioles deliver blood to nephrons interlobular veins arcuate veins interlobar veins renal vein
Structure of a Nephron
12
•Renal tubule: long pathway that starts at the renal corpuscle
•Renal corpuscle: contains a glomerulus, where the capillaries are found, where filtration takes place
Pathway of filtration of a Nephron
13
•Blood filters into the afferent arteriole Renal corpuscle
(Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule) Proximal convoluted
tubule (where reabsorption of water, ions, organic nutrients)
down Renal tubule Loop of Henle ( further reabsorption
of water) up Renal tubule Distal convoluted tubule
(secretion of acids, drugs, toxins) collecting duct
Papillary duct (all excess waste—urine– to minor calyx
major calyx ureter
Cortical and Juxtamedullary Nephrons
17
• cortical nephrons• 80% of nephrons• located close to the surface of the kidney
• juxtamedullary nephrons• regulate water balance• located near the renal medulla
Urine Formation
18
• nephrons remove wastes from the blood and regulate water and electrolyte concentrations
• urine is the final product of the processes of:
• glomerular filtration
• tubular reabsorption
• tubular secretion
Urine Formation
19
• Glomerular Filtration• substances move from blood to glomerular capsule
• Tubular Reabsorption• substances move from renal tubules into blood of peritubular capillaries• glucose, water, urea, proteins, creatine• amino, lactic, citric, and uric acids• phosphate, sulfate, calcium, potassium, and sodium ions
• Tubular Secretion• substances move from blood of peritubular capillaries into renal tubules• drugs and ions
Urine Composition
20
• about 95% water
• usually contains urea, uric acid, and creatinine
• may contain trace amounts of amino acids and varying amounts of electrolytes
• volume varies with fluid intake and environmental factors
Ureters
21
•Leave the kidneys •25-30 cm long•parallel to vertebral column• in pelvic cavity, join urinary bladder
Urinary Bladder
22
• hollow, muscular organ located within the pelvic cavity, posterior to the Symphysis pubis
•Can hold up to a liter of urine (rugae)
Urinary Bladder
23
• the internal floor of the bladder includes a triangular area called the trigone •Internal urethral sphincter: provide control over bladder
Urethra24
• tube that conveys urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body
• Men: 18-20 cm
• Connects to the prostate/ejaculatory ducts
• Female: 3-5 cm
•External urethral sphincter
•UTI
•Incontinence
Life-Span Changes
25
• kidneys appear scarred and grainy • kidney cells die• by age 80, kidneys have lost a third of their mass• kidney shrinkage due to loss of glomeruli•harder for kidneys to clear certain substances• bladder, ureters, and urethra lose elasticity• bladder holds less urine

Short Answer
• What are some anatomical differences with the male versus female urinary structures and how do they affect the physiology?
30
Short Answer
• What are some anatomical differences with the male versus female urethra and how do they affect the physiology?
• Males have longer urethra = fewer UTI’s, less urgency for urination
• Ejaculatory/prostate ducts connect to males urethra = urethra doesn’t just carry urine
31
32How do the following tests relate to a urinalysis?
Leukocytes
Nitrites
Protein
pH
Blood
Specific Gravity
Ketone
Bilirubin
Glucose
33Meaning
Leukocytes Only found in individuals who are fighting a bacterial/viral infection
Nitrites Only found in individuals with significant infections
Protein Found in individuals with kidney disease/damage
pH If increased ketone levels, there will be a more acidic urine
Blood Only present if trauma, UTI, or recent menstruation
Specific Gravity Degree of concentration/dilution of urine (amount of excess water)
Ketone Positive with excessive lipid breakdown
Bilirubin Rare-breakdown of hemoglobin
Glucose Excess-hyperglycemia
