2. Introduction  The urinary system includes the kidneys, the ureters, the urinary bladder, and the urethra.  Performs vital excretory functions:  Regulating plasma concentrations of ions  Regulating blood volume and blood pressure by adjusting the volume of water lost in the urine, releasing erythropoietin, and releasing renin  Contributing to the stabilization of blood pH  Conserving valuable nutrients  Eliminating organic waste products  Synthesizing calcitriol.  Assisting the liver in detoxifying poisons Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

3. The Kidneys  Urine-producing organ of the urinary system  Two kidneys in the retroperitoneal area  Left kidney is higher than the right kidney  Contain millions of tiny nephrons Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

33. Aging and the Urinary System  A decline in the number of functional nephrons  A reduction in glomerular filtration  Reduced sensitivity to ADH  Problems with the micturition reflex related to the following factors:  Loss of tone in sphincter muscles leading to incontinence  Strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, or other CNS problems impair ability to control micturition  Urinary retention may develop in men whose prostrate glands are enlarged Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
