Functions of the Excretory System
Every cell produces metabolic wastes.
The process by which these wastes are eliminated is called excretion.

Functions of the Excretory System
The skin excretes excess water and salts in the form of sweat.
The lungs excrete carbon dioxide.
The kidneys also play a major role in excretion.

Functions of the Excretory System
The kidneys:
• remove waste products from the blood.
• maintain blood pH.
• regulate the water content of the blood and, therefore, blood volume.

Slide 8 of 36
The Kidneys
The kidneys are located on either side of the spinal column near the lower back.
A tube, called the ureter, leaves each kidney, carrying urine to the urinary bladder.
The urinary bladder is a saclike organ where urine is stored before being excreted.

Slide 10 of 36
The Kidneys
Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery.
The kidney removes urea, excess water, and other waste products and passes them to the ureter.
The clean, filtered blood leaves the kidney through the renal vein and returns to circulation.

Kidney Structure
A kidney has two distinct regions:
• The inner part is called the renal medulla.
• The outer part is called the renal cortex.

The functional units of the kidney are called nephrons.
Nephrons are located in the renal cortex, except for their loops of Henle, which descend into the renal medulla.

Excretory Processes
Most excretory systems (4 basic parts)
Produce urine by refining a filtrate derived from body fluids
Figure 44.9
Filtration. The excretory tubule collects a filtrate from the blood.Water and solutes are forced by blood pressure across the selectively permeable membranes of a cluster of capillaries and into the excretory tubule.
Reabsorption. The transport epithelium reclaims valuable substances from the filtrate and returns them to the body fluids.
Secretion. Other substances, such as toxins and excess ions, are extracted from body fluids and added to the contents of the excretory tubule.
Excretion. The filtrate leaves the system and the body.

Slide 20 of 36
Key functions of most excretory systems are
1. Filtration, pressure-filtering of body fluids producing a filtrate
2. Reabsorption, reclaiming valuable solutes from the filtrate
3. Secretion, addition of toxins and other solutes from the body fluids to the filtrate
4. Excretion, the filtrate leaves the system

Slide 21 of 36
The Kidneys
As blood enters a nephron through the arteriole, impurities are filtered out and emptied into the collecting duct.
The purified blood exits the nephron through the venule.

Slide 22 of 36
The Kidneys
The mechanism of blood purification involves two distinct processes: filtration and reabsorption.

Slide 23 of 36
The Kidneys
Filtration
Passing a liquid or gas through a filter to remove wastes is called filtration.
The filtration of blood mainly takes place in the glomerulus.
The glomerulus is a small network of capillaries encased in the top of the nephron by a hollow, cup-shaped structure called Bowman's capsule.
End Show
38–3 The Excretory System
Slide 24 of 36
The Kidneys
Fluid from the blood flows into Bowman’s capsule.
The materials filtered from the blood include water, urea, glucose, salts, amino acids, and some vitamins.
Plasma proteins, cells, and platelets remain in the blood because they are too large to pass through the capillary walls.
End Show
38–3 The Excretory System
Slide 25 of 36
The Kidneys
Reabsorption
Most of the material removed from the blood at Bowman's capsule makes its way back into the blood.
The process in which liquid is taken back into a vessel is called reabsorption.
End Show
38–3 The Excretory System
Slide 26 of 36
The Kidneys
Almost 99% of the water that enters Bowman’s capsule is reabsorbed into the blood.
When the filtrate drains in the collecting ducts, most water and nutrients have been reabsorbed into the blood.
End Show
38–3 The Excretory System
Slide 27 of 36
The Kidneys
Remaining material, called urine, is emptied into a collecting duct.
Urine is primarily concentrated in the loop of Henle.
The loop of Henle is a section of the nephron tubule in which water is conserved and the volume of urine minimized.
End Show
38–3 The Excretory System
Slide 28 of 36
The Kidneys
As the kidney works, purified blood is returned to circulation while urine is collected in the urinary bladder.
Urine is stored here until it is released from the body through a tube called the urethra.

Control of Kidney Function
Control of Kidney Function “Homeostasis”
The activity of the kidneys is mostly controlled by the composition of the blood.
In addition, regulatory hormones are released in response to the composition of blood. This is controlled by a hormone ADH from the Pituitary Gland.

Pituitary Gland – master control
The pituitary gland secretes nine hormones that directly regulate many body functions and controls the actions of several other endocrine glands.

Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland is a structure at the base of the skull.
The gland is divided into two parts: the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary.
Remember anterior – front side or ventral
posterior- toward the rear / dorsal side

Control of Kidney Function
When you drink a liquid, it is absorbed into the blood through the digestive system.
As a result, the concentration of water in the blood increases.
As the amount of water in the blood increases, the rate of water reabsorption in the kidneys decreases.
Less water is returned to the blood, and excess water is sent to the urinary bladder to be excreted as urine.
End Show
38–3 The Excretory System
Slide 36 of 36
Control of Kidney Function
When the kidneys detect an increase in salt, they respond by returning less salt to the blood by reabsorption.
The excess salt the kidneys retain is excreted in urine, thus maintaining the composition of the blood.

Kidney Disorders
Kidney Disorders
Humans have two kidneys, but can survive with only one.
If both kidneys are damaged by disease or injury, there are two options:
• a kidney transplant
• kidney dialysis
End Show
38–3 The Excretory System
Slide 39 of 36
Kidney Disorders
Kidney dialysis works as follows:
• Blood is removed by a tube and pumped through special tubing that acts like nephrons.
• Tiny pores in the tubing allow salts and small molecules to pass through.
• Wastes diffuse out of the blood into the fluid-filled chamber, allowing purified blood to be returned to the body.
