Chapter 26 Urinary System 26-2 Urinary System Functions • Filtering of blood • Regulation of – – – – blood volume concentration of blood solutes pH of extracellular fluid blood cell synthesis • Synthesis of Vitamin D 26-3 Urinary System Anatomy 26-4 Location and External Anatomy of Kidneys • Location – Lie behind peritoneum on posterior abdominal wall on either side of vertebral column – Lumbar vertebrae and rib cage partially protect – Right kidney slightly lower than left • External Anatomy – Renal capsule • Surrounds each kidney – Perirenal fat • Engulfs renal capsule and acts as cushioning – Renal fascia • Anchors kidneys to abdominal wall – Hilum • Renal artery and nerves enter and renal vein and ureter exit kidneys 26-5 Internal Anatomy of Kidneys • Cortex: Outer area – Renal columns • Medulla: Inner area – Renal pyramids • Calyces – Major: Converge to form pelvis – Minor: Papillae extend • Nephron: Functional unit of kidney – Juxtamedullary – Cortical 26-6 The Nephron 26-7 Histology of the Nephron 26-8 Internal Anatomy of Kidneys • Renal corpuscle – Bowman’s capsule • Parietal layer • Visceral layer – Glomerulus • Network of capillaries • Arterioles – Afferent • Blood to glomerulus – Efferent • Tubules – Proximal (convoluted) tubule – Loops of Henle • Descending limb • Ascending limb – Distal (convoluted) tubules • Collecting ducts • Drains 26-9 Renal Corpuscle 26-10 Kidney Blood Flow 26-11 Ureters and Urinary Bladder • Ureters – Tubes through which urine flows from kidneys to urinary bladder • Urinary bladder – Stores urine • Urethra – Transports urine from bladder to outside of body – Difference in length between males and females – Sphincters • Internal urinary • External urinary 26-12 Ureters and Urinary Bladder 26-13 Urine Formation 26-14 Filtration • Filtration – Renal filtrate • Plasma minus blood cells and blood proteins • Most (99%) reabsorbed • Filtration membrane – Fenestrated endothelium, basement membrane and pores formed by podocytes • Filtration pressure – Responsible for filtrate formation – Glomerular capillary pressure (GCP) minus capsule pressure (CP) minus colloid osmotic pressure (COP) – Changes caused by glomerular capillary pressure 26-15 Filtration Pressure 26-16 Tubular Reabsorption • Reabsorption – Passive transport – Active transport – Cotransport • Specialization of tubule segments • Substances transported – Active transport moves Na+ across nephron wall – Other ions and molecules moved by cotransport – Passive transport moves water, urea, lipid-soluble, nonpolar compounds 26-17 Reabsorption in Proximal Nephron 26-18 Reabsorption in Loop of Henle 26-19 Reabsorption in Loop of Henle 26-20 Tubular Secretion • Substances enter proximal or distal tubules and collecting ducts • H+, K+ and some substances not produced in body are secreted by countertransport mechanisms 26-21 Secretion of Hydrogen and Potassium 26-22 Urine Production • In Proximal tubules – Na+ and other substances removed – Water follows passively – Filtrate volume reduced • In descending limb of loop of Henle – Water exits passively, solute enters – Filtrate volume reduced 15% • In ascending limb of loop of Henle – Na+, Cl-, K+ transported out of filtrate – Water remains • In distal tubules and collecting ducts – Water movement out regulated by ADH • If absent, water not reabsorbed and dilute urine produced • If ADH present, water moves out, concentrated urine produced 26-23 Filtrate and Medullary Concentration Gradient 26-24 Medullary Concentration and Urea Cycling 26-25 Urine Concentration Mechanism • When large volume of water consumed – Eliminate excess without losing large amounts of electrolytes – Response is kidneys produce large volume of dilute urine • When drinking water not available – Kidneys produce small volume of concentrated urine – Removes waste and prevents rapid dehydration 26-26 Urine Concentrating Mechanism 26-27 Hormonal Mechanisms • ADH • Renin – Secreted by posterior – Produced by kidneys, pituitary causes production of – Increases water angiotensin II permeability in distal • Atrial natriuretic tubules and collecting ducts • Aldosterone – Produced in adrenal cortex – Affects Na+ and Cltransport in nephron and collecting ducts hormone – Produced by heart when blood pressure increases • Inhibits ADH production • Reduces ability of kidney to concentrate urine 26-28 Effect of ADH on Nephron 26-29 Aldosterone Effect on Distal Tubule 26-30 Autoregulation and Sympathetic Stimulation • Autoregulation – Involves changes in degree of constriction in afferent arterioles – As systemic BP increased, afferent arterioles constrict and prevent increase in renal blood flow • Sympathetic stimulation – Constricts small arteries and afferent arterioles – Decreases renal blood flow 26-31 Clearance and Tubular Load • Plasma clearance – Volume of plasma cleared of a specific substance each minute – Used to estimate GFR – Used to calculate renal plasma flow – Used to determine which drugs or other substances excreted by kidney • Tubular load – Total amount of substance that passes through filtration membrane into nephrons each minute – Normally glucose is almost completed reabsorbed 26-32 Tubular Maximum • Tubular maximum – Maximum rate at which a substance can be actively absorbed – Each substance has its own tubular maximum 26-33 Urine Flow and Micturition Reflex • Urine flow – Hydrostatic pressure forces urine through nephron – Peristalsis moves urine through ureters • Micturition reflex – Stretch of urinary bladder stimulates reflex causing bladder to contract, inhibiting urinary sphincters – Higher brain centers can stimulate or inhibit reflex 26-34 Micturition Reflex 26-35 Effects of Aging on Kidneys • Gradual decrease in size of kidney – Decrease in kidney size leads to decrease in renal blood flow • Decrease in number of functional nephrons • Decrease in renin secretion and vitamin D synthesis • Decline in ability of nephron to secrete and absorb 26-36 Kidney Dialysis 26-37
