Systems Involved in Excretion • Urinary (excretory system) • Regulates volume, acid–base balance and electrolyte composition of body fluids • Main parts of the urinary system • Kidneys • Ureters • Urinary bladder • Urethra • Other systems that function in excretion: • Digestive – Respiratory – Integumentary
Systems Involved in Excretion (cont.) Figure 22-1 Urinary system. Identify the structure that carries urine to and from the bladder.
The Kidneys (cont.) Kidney Activities • Excretion • Urea • Homeostasis of body fluids • Blood pressure regulation • Hormone production • Erythropoietin (EPO)
The Kidneys (cont.) Kidney Structure • Lie against back muscles in the upper abdomen • Right kidney lower than left to accommodate liver • Enclosed in membranous renal capsule • Adipose capsule of fat • Fascia anchors the kidney to peritoneum and abdominal wall • Retroperitoneal space • Renal blood vessels • Renal artery • Renal vein
The Kidneys (cont.) Kidney Structure • Organization • Hilum • Renal cortex (outer portion) • Renal medulla (inner portion) • Renal pyramids • Renal pelvis • Calyces
The Kidneys (cont.) Kidney Structure (cont.) • Nephron and its blood supply • Nephron • Glomerular (Bowman) capsule • Renal tubule • Proximal tubule • Nephron loop • Distal tubule
The Kidneys (cont.) Kidney Structure (cont.) • Nephron and its blood supply (cont.) • Blood supply • Glomerulus • Afferent arteriole • Efferent arteriole • Peritubular capillaries
Figure 22-4 Microscopic view of the kidney. The Kidneys (cont.)
The Kidneys (cont.) Formation of Urine • Glomerular filtration • Glomerular filtrate • Tubular reabsorption • Diffusion • Osmosis • Active transport • Tubular secretion
Figure 22-5 Glomerular filtration: The first step in urineformation. The Kidneys (cont.)
The Kidneys (cont.) Formation of Urine (cont.) • Concentration of urine • The proximal tubule reabsorbs about 65% of filtered water by osmosis. • Juxtamedullary nephrons • Medullary osmotic gradient • Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Figure 22-6 Urine concentration. The Kidneys (cont.)
The Kidneys (cont.) Summary of Urine Formation • Glomerular filtration • Tubular reabsorption • Tubular secretion • Concentration of urine
Figure 22-7 Summary of urine formation in a nephron. The Kidneys (cont.) What vessels absorb materials that leave the nephron?
The Kidneys (cont.) The Juxtaglomerular (JG) Apparatus • Specialized region of the kidney is involved in blood pressure regulation. • Distal tubule • Afferent arteriole • Triggered by low sodium content in the glomerular filtrate. • Secretes enzyme renin • Angiotensin II
Figure 22-8 The juxtaglomerular (JG) apparatus. The Kidneys (cont.)
Elimination of Urine Elimination of Urine (cont.) The Ureters • Long, slender, muscular tubes • Extend from the kidney to urinary bladder • Entirely extraperitoneal • Move urine by gravity and peristalsis
Elimination of Urine Elimination of Urine (cont.) The Urinary Bladder • Located posterior to the pubic symphysis • Temporary reservoir for urine • Bladder wall has many layers: • Lined with mucous membrane • Rugae • Connective tissue • Involuntary muscle tissue • Parietal peritoneum • Trigone What gland does the urethra pass through in the male?
Elimination of Urine Elimination of Urine (cont.) The Urethra • Carries urine from the bladder to the outside • Differs in males and females: • Male • Approximately 20 cm in length • Serves dual purpose as part of both the reproductive and urinary systems • Female • Approximately 4cm in length • Entirely separate from the reproductive system
Elimination of Urine Elimination of Urine (cont.) Urination • Process of expelling urine from bladder (micturition) • Involuntary control • Internal urethral sphincter • Voluntary control • External urethral sphincter
Elimination of Urine Elimination of Urine (cont.) The Urine • 95% water, 5% dissolved solids and gases • pH averages 6.0 • Specific gravity measures amount of dissolved substances • Normal range 1.002 (very dilute) to 1.040 (very concentrated)
Elimination of Urine (cont.) The Urine (cont.) • Normal constituents of urine • Nitrogenous waste products • Urea • Uric acid • Creatinine • Electrolytes • Sodium and chloride ions • Sulfates • Phosphates • Pigments (e.g., urochrome, bile pigments, food pigments)
Elimination of Urine Elimination of Urine (cont.) The Urine (cont.) • Abnormal constituents of urine • Glucose • Albumin • Blood • Ketones • White blood cells • Casts
Disorders of the Urinary System (cont.) Obstructions and Structural Disorders • Hydronephrosis • Kidney stones (renal calculi) • Staghorn calculi • Renal colic • Lithotripsy (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) • Structural abnormalities • Renal hypoplasia • Renal dysplasia • Ureteral stricture • Ureterocele • Hypospadias
Figure 22-10 Kidney stones. Disorders of the Urinary System (cont.) What does the word extracorporeal mean?

Disorders of the Urinary System (cont.) Inflammatory Disorders • Urinary tract infection (UTI) • Urethritis • Cystitis • Interstitial cystitis • Pyelonephritis • Glomerulonephritis
Disorders of the Urinary System (cont.) Neoplasms • Bladder tumors • Symptoms • Hematuria • Frequent urination • Causes • Toxins • Heavy cigarette smoking • Presence of urinary stones • Treatment • Tumor removal • Localized chemotherapy • Cystectomy • Ileal conduit

Disorders of the Urinary System (cont.) Polycystic Kidney Disease • Genetic disorder • Usually asymptomatic in children • Destruction of nephrons as disease progresses resulting in chronic renal failure • Treatment: • Renal dialysis • Kidney transplantation
Disorders of the Urinary System (cont.) Renal Failure • Renal insufficiency • Acute renal failure • Causes for acute renal failure • Medical or surgical emergencies • Toxins that damage the renal tubules • Symptoms • Sudden serious decrease in kidney function • Electrolyte imbalance • Acid–base imbalance
Disorders of the Urinary System (cont.) Renal Failure (cont.) • Chronic renal failure • Causes for chronic renal failure • Gradual loss of nephrons • Symptoms • Dehydration • Edema • Electrolyte imbalance • Hypertension • Anemia • Uremia
