The Excretory System 14 Lesson 14.1: Anatomy of the Kidney Lesson 14.2: Urine Formation, Storage, and Excretion Lesson 14.3: Diseases and Disorders of Excretory System
Kidney Location and Size
Anatomy of the Kidney renal cortex renal medulla renal pelvis outer middle renal pelvis Inner (drainage area)
Anatomy of the Kidney renal medulla pyramid columns ureter bladder
Nerve and Blood Supply 20–25% of blood flows to kidneys renal artery renal vein sympathetic nerve system renal nerve fibers
The Nephron basic working unit of each kidney two main parts renal corpuscle glomerulus renal tubule
Blood Flow through the Kidneys renal artery afferent arteriole glomerulus efferent arteriole peritubular capillaries or vasa recta renal vein
Urine Formation, Storage, and Excretion Chapter 14: The Urinary System Lesson 14.2 Urine Formation, Storage, and Excretion
Urine Formation filtration reabsorption secretion water and solutes from capillary to glomerular capsular space reabsorption water and solutes move from tubule to capillary secretion wastes in capillary pushed into tubule
Urine Formation
Reabsorption
The Renal Medulla nephron loop (loop of Henle) descending loop reabsorb water ascending loop reabsorb sodium
Hormonal Regulation of Urine Volume and Composition aldosterone renin reacts & produces angiotensin atrial natriuretic peptide causes urine volume to increase antidiuretic hormone causes urine volume to decrease
Urine Storage ureter bladder urethra kidney to bladder stores urine bladder to outside body
Urine Storage
Urine Excretion micturition urination
Assessing Renal Function Urine- pH range 4.5–8.0 95% water, 5% waste glomerular filtration rate estimate with creatinine in blood
Chronic Kidney Disease kidney damage filtration rate under 60 ml/min for at least 3 months develops slowly
Renal Dialysis hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis dialyzer dialysis solution peritoneum acts as dialysis membrane Done at home
Diabetes diabetes mellitus diabetes insipidus glucose in urine type I, type II diabetes insipidus large amount of dilute urine ADH not made or not used
Diseases and Disorders of the Urinary System kidney stones calcium, magnesium, or uric acid urinary tract infection Cystitis-bladder inflammation more common in women than men
