AnatomyAnatomy• KidneysKidneys remove wastes from the blood to remove wastes from the blood to
form urine; play a key role in fluid and form urine; play a key role in fluid and electrolyte balanceelectrolyte balance
• UretersUreters transport urine from the kidneys transport urine from the kidneys to the bladderto the bladder
• The The bladder bladder holds urine until the urge to holds urine until the urge to urinate developsurinate develops
• Urine leaves the body through the Urine leaves the body through the urethraurethra• NephronNephron is working unit of kidney; forms is working unit of kidney; forms
urine; contains glomerulus surrounded by urine; contains glomerulus surrounded by Bowman’s capsuleBowman’s capsule– Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule,
loop of Henle, distal tubule, collecting ductloop of Henle, distal tubule, collecting duct

FiltrationFiltration
• Filtration of H2O, glucose, amino acids, Filtration of H2O, glucose, amino acids, urea, creatinine, and major electrolytes urea, creatinine, and major electrolytes into Bowman’s capsuleinto Bowman’s capsule
• Large proteins and blood cells do not Large proteins and blood cells do not normally filter through the glomerulusnormally filter through the glomerulus
• Proteinuria = the presences of large Proteinuria = the presences of large proteins in the urine; a sign of glomerular proteins in the urine; a sign of glomerular injuryinjury
• Glomerulus filters approximately 125 mL Glomerulus filters approximately 125 mL of filtrate per minuteof filtrate per minute
The KidneysThe Kidneys• Normal adult urine output is 1500 to 1600 Normal adult urine output is 1500 to 1600
mL/daymL/day• An output of < 30 mL/hr indicates possible An output of < 30 mL/hr indicates possible
renal alterationrenal alteration• Kidneys produce several substances vital to Kidneys produce several substances vital to
production of RBC, BP, and bone production of RBC, BP, and bone mineralizationmineralization
• Produces erythropoietin which stimulates RBC Produces erythropoietin which stimulates RBC production and maturation and prolongs the production and maturation and prolongs the life of the mature RBCslife of the mature RBCs– Patients with chronic alterations in kidney function Patients with chronic alterations in kidney function
cannot produce sufficient quantities of this cannot produce sufficient quantities of this hormone therefore they are prone to anemiahormone therefore they are prone to anemia

• Renal hormones affect BP regulation in Renal hormones affect BP regulation in several waysseveral ways– Renin and angiotensin I and II cause Renin and angiotensin I and II cause
vasoconstrictionvasoconstriction– Aldosterone released resulting in water retentionAldosterone released resulting in water retention– Prostaglandin – maintains renal blood flow via Prostaglandin – maintains renal blood flow via
vasodilation vasodilation • Affect calcium and phosphate regulation by Affect calcium and phosphate regulation by
producing a substance that converts vit D producing a substance that converts vit D into its active forminto its active form– Renal bone disease results from demineralization Renal bone disease results from demineralization
of the bone cause by impaired calcium absorptionof the bone cause by impaired calcium absorption
Act of Urination Act of Urination “Micturition”“Micturition”
• Brain structures that influence Brain structures that influence bladder emptyingbladder emptying– Cerebral cortex, Thalamus, Cerebral cortex, Thalamus,
Hypothalamus, Brain StemHypothalamus, Brain Stem
• Normal voiding involves contraction Normal voiding involves contraction of the bladder muscles and of the bladder muscles and coordinated relaxation of the urethral coordinated relaxation of the urethral sphincter and pelvic floor musclessphincter and pelvic floor muscles
