EXCRETORY SYSTEM DR.Tazeen Hassan shah M.Phil physiology
kidney Structural and functional unit of kidney is nephron glomerulus renal tubules:pct,loop of henle,dct,collectingtubule,collecting ducts(250 each draining 4000 nephrons)
FUNCTIONS OF KIDNEY Removal of metabolic waste Electrolyte balance Water balance Regulation of blood pressure Regulation of acid-base balance Erythropoiesis Vit D activation Release of renin
Gluconeogenesis Release of kinins VASCULAR BEDS OF KIDNEY GLOMERULUS:60 mm of hg PERITUBULAR CAPPILLARIES:13 mm of hg
TYPES OF NEPHRON Cortical nephron:present in renal cortex,short loop of henle,that is surrounded by tortuous peritubularcappillaries. Juxtra medullary nephron(30%):present near corticomedullaryjunction,long loop of henle,surrounded by straight ptcappillaries,k/as vasa recta,concerned with concentration of urine.
URINE FORMATION GLOMERULAR FILTRATION SELECTIVE REABSORPTION ACTIVE SEREATION
GLOMERULAR FILTRATION 125ml of plasma is filtered each min,or 180L/d Of which 178.5 lit are reabsorbed and 1.5 lit becomes urine/day Whole plasma is filtered 60 times /day
SELECTIVE REABSORPTION As filtrate passes via renal tubules ,nutrionally important subtances are reabsorbedto blood via peritubularcappillaries,e.g:glucose,aminoacid,vitamins. Unwanted substances are not reabsorbed eg:urea,creatinine
Active secreation Some substances are actively secreated into renal tubules via peritubularcappillaries like H and K ions EXCRETION Substances not reabsorbed and those which are secreated together with water are finally excreted via kidney as urine.
GLOMERULAR FILTRATION Through high pressure bed of glomerulus 125ml/min or 180L/day No cells are filtered,no proteins are filtered Donnan’seffect:cat ions less and anions more filtered Plasma bound substances are less filtered
FILTRATION MEMBRANE Surface area: 0.8 msq Has three layers: Endothelium: fenestrated .large pores. Basement membrane:negatively charged proteoglycans,these repel and oppose the filtration of –vely charged plasma proteins. Epithelium:haspodocyted with pores called slit pores.
FILTRATION PRESSURE Hydrostatic pressure:60mmof hg Plasma colloid osmotic pressure:32 Capsular pressure :18 Net filtration pressure:60-18-32=+10mm of hg Filtration coefficient:125/10=12.5/min/mm of hg

Sympathetic stimulation-dec GFR Angiotensin 2 …..dec GFR FORCES FAVOURING FILTRATION GHP=60mm of hg bcop=0 mm of hg FORCES OPPOSING FILTRATION BHP=18mm of hg GCOP=32mm of hg
AUTOREGULATION OF GFR OCCURS VIA JGA(JUXTRA GLOMERULAR APPARATUS) MACULA DENSA:Proximal part of DCT,condensed cells in close contact with aff and effarteriole,act as chemoreceptors and sense conc of Nacl reaching DCT. JG CELLS:modified smooth muscle cells of afferent arteriole,has renin containing granules,on signals from macula densa release renin.
LACIS CELL:present in mesangium,act by : afferent arterioler feedback mechanism efferent arterioler feedback mechanism When GFR dec less Nacl reaches macula densa in dct,It causes 2 reactions: afferent arteriole dilation JG cells relese more renin more angiotensin 2 formed
Constriction of efferent arteriole GFR inc toward normal
