  1. Chapter 19, part A The Kidneys

  2. About this Chapter • Anatomy of the excretory system • How the kidney is organized • How the nephron works to filter blood, recycle, secrete, and excrete • How filtration is regulated • Urination reflex

  3. Kidney Functions: Overview • Homeostatic regulation: ECF volume, osmolarity, ion & pH balance • Excretion: Metabolic wastes & foreign molecules • Regulating hormones & enzymes

  4. Kidney Functions: Overview Figure 19-3: The excretion of a substance depends on the amount that was filtered, reabsorbed, and secreted

  5. Excretory System: Anatomy Review • Kidney • Cortex • Medulla • Pelvis • Nephrons • Ureter • Bladder • Urethra Figure 19-1: Anatomy Summary: The Urinary System

  6. Nephron Functions: Overview • Filtration, reabsorption, secretion & excretion

  7. Nephron Functions: Overview Figure 19-2: Filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion

  8. Glomerulus & Bowman's Capsule: Blood Filtration • Capillaries • Podocytes • Mesanglial cells • Bulk flow • Solutes • Water • (Few proteins) • (Not cells)

  9. Glomerulus & Bowman's Capsule: Blood Filtration Figure 19-4: Structure of the renal corpuscle

  10. Glomerular Flow Rate (GFR) • Capillary • Hydrostatic pressure • Colloidal • Capsule pressure • Back pressure • Net Filtration p • GFR  180L/day (about 1% is excreted) Figure 19-6: Filtration pressure in the renal corpuscle

  11. Glomerular Flow Rate (GFR) Figure 19-5: The filtration fraction

  12. Regulation of GFR • Autoregulation • Myogenic stretch • Tubuloglomerular feedback • Macula densa • J G cells • ANS-Sympathetic • Arteriole vasoconstriction • Hormones/paracrines • Angiotensin II • Prostaglandins

  13. Regulation of GFR Figure 19-9: The juxtaglomerular apparatus
