Nephron


Basic function is to clean or clear blood
plasma of unnecessary substances
~ 1million nephrons in each kidney

Physiology of urine formation
* Primary function of kidneys: filter blood,
maintain body’s internal homeostasis.
* Multistep process of: filtration, reabsorption,
secretions, excretion of water, electrolytes and
metabolic waste.
* Urine formation begins at glomerulus (blood
filtered)
* Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)-amount of blood
filtered by the glomeruli in a given time,
normal is ~ 125ml/min.

The normal kidney can alter its
excretion of salt to match loss with
gain.

Structures and Functions
of the Urinary System
Primary function of kidneys:
1. Regulation of water and ion balance (electrolyte and
acid base balance)
2. Removal of metabolic waste products from the blood
and excretion in urine
3. Removal of foreign chemicals from the blood and
excretion in urine
4. Secretion of hormones:
a. Erythropoietin, which controls erythrocyte
production
b. Renin, which controls formation of angiotensin and
influences blood pressure and sodium balance
c. 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, which influences
calcium balance

Renal processes for sodium and
water





Sodium and water freely filter form the glomerular
capillaries into Bowman’s space and undergo
reabsorption, Normally ~99%
Most reabsorption (2/3) occurs in proximal tubule,
water reabsorption is by diffusion and dependent
upon sodium reabsorption.
Major influence on the reabsorption of sodium and
water in tubules is ADH ( increases reabsorption of
sodium and water and therefore decreases urine
output
Sodium excreted=sodium filtered-sodium reabsorbed
Serum sodium-135-146mEq/L

Renal water regulation
Major change caused by water loss or gain out
of proportion to sodium loss or gain is a
change in osmolarity of the body fluids.
Change in osmolarity is responded to via
osmoreceptors in hypothalamus, controlling
ADH secretion.

Thirst and salt appetite


Must replace sodium and water losses by
intake
THIRST, drives ingestion of water, stimulated
by low extracellular volume and high plasma
osmolarity.

Potassium regulation





Most abundant intracellular ion. Only 2% of total body
K is in extracellular fluid.
K concentration in extracellular fluid is important for
the function of excitable tissues (nerve and muscle).
Any increase (or decrease) in extracellular K,
changes resting membrane potential of cells (in heart
can result in abnormalities of heart rhythm, or
arrythmias or weakness).
K in urine=amount ingested minus amount eliminated
in feces and sweat.
Deficit or excess controls aldosterone secretion,
which determine excretion of K in urine.
Serum potassium-3.5-5.5 mEq/L

Function of:
1. ADH
2. Aldosterone
3. HCO3 and H+ (acid/base balance)
4. ANP





Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)-required for
water reabsorption in the kidney , important in
fluid balance.
makes tubules and collecting ducts
permeable to water, allowing water to be
reabsorbed into the peritubular capillaries and
returned to the circulation.
Functions in concert with hypothalamus and
neural input as loop mechanism
decreases urine output

aldosterone



Released from adrenal cortex, acts on distal
tubule to cause reabsorption of Na+ and
water.
Influenced by blood concentrations of Na+
and K+
In exchange for Na+ reabsorption, potassium
ions (K+) are excreted.

Atrial Natriuretic peptide (ANP)





Hormone secreted from cells in R atrium in response
to atrial distention due to an increase in plasma
volume.
Acts on kidneys to increase Na+ excretion.
Inhibits renin, ADH and action of angiotensinII on the
adrenal glands, thus suppresses aldosterone
secretion.
ANP causes relaxation of afferent arteriole, thus
increasing the GFR
Combined effects of ANP=production of large volume
of dilute urine

Other Kidney functions



Erythropoietin-stimulates the production of red blood cells
(RBCs) in bone marrow
produced and released in response to hypoxia and decreased
renal blood flow.
In renal failure, a deficiency of erythropoietin occurs leading to
anemia
Vitamin D-hormone obtained in diet and sun.
requires metabolism in liver and kidney to be “activated”,
essential for absorption of Ca+ from GI tract.
In renal failure manifestation of problems of altered Ca+ and PO2
balance.

Other Kidney functions


Calcium balance -parathyroid hormone
(PTH) is released from parathyroid gland in
response to low serum ca+ levels. PTH works
by causing increased tubular reabsorption of
CA2+ and decreased tubular reabsorption of
phosphate ions (PO4 2-)
In renal disease, the effects of PTH may have
major effect on bone metabolism.

Other Kidney functions
(continued)



Renin-regulates BP, involved in splitting of
angiotensin cascade (p. 1138). Angiotensin II
stimulates release of aldosterone (causes Na+ and
water retention leading to increased ECF volume)
Also causes peripheral vasoconstriction. (both
increase BP)
Produced and secreted by cells in kidneys, released
into blood in response to decreased; renal perfusion,
arterial BP, ECF, Na+
Released into blood in response to increased urinary
Na+ concentration

Other kidney functions
(continued)



Prostaglandins (PGs)- involved in the
regulation of cell function and host defenses
PG synthesis occurs in the medullla of the
kidney. PGs increase renal blood flow and
promote Na+ excretion.
Counteract the vasoconstrictor effect of
angiotensin and norepinephrine =decreased
systemic vascular resistance= decreased BP.

Urinary Bladder




Serves as reservoir for urine
Bladder muscle-detrusor muscle
Normal urine output, ~1500ml/day, varies
with intake of food and water, diurnal pattern.
~250ml of urine in bladder cause moderate
distention and urge to urinate.

Effects of Aging on the Urinary System


20-30% decrease in size with aging, by 70
yrs old, 30-50% of glomeruli have lost

aldosterone, ANP=decreased urinary
concentration, limitations in excretion of
water, Na+, K+ and acid).
