Renal system
Learning objectives
To outline the renal system;To describe the structure and function of neph
ron,processes of urine formation;To describe briefly the processes of urine form
ation;To describe the renin-angiotensin system;To describe the regulationofpotassium, calciu
m and pH.
RENAL SYSTEM
EXCRETION
~ removal of toxic waste productions of metabolism from the body
WASTE
~ nitrogenous waste (urea & ammonia), CO2, bile pigment
RENAL SYSTEM
OSMOREGULATION
~ the process maintaining constant osmotic equilibrium between the internal & external environment of an organism
Mammalian renal system I
KIDNEY paired organs in abdominal cavity
held firmly by peritoneum
embedded in fat
solid, dark red & bean shape
below stomach
renal artery vs renal vein
Structure of kidney
Mammalian renal system II
URETERS narrow tubes
passing urine from kidneys to bladder
valves prevent back flow of urine stop bacteria from going into
kidney
Kidney
Bladder
Urethra
Ureter
Diaphragm
Mammalian renal system III
URINARY BLADDER muscular bag
stores urine temporarily
300 cm3 of urine sensation of urination
contraction of bladder + relaxation of sphincter muscle forces urine out
Ureter
Urethra
Ureteral opening
Urethral orifice
Mammalian renal system IV
URETHRA muscular tube
carries ONLY URINE in female
carries URINE & SEMEN in male
A nephron unit
FLOW OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATEFLOW OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATE
Glomerulus Bowman’s space in Bowman’s capsule
Descending limb of Henle’s loop Proximal convoluted tubule
Ascending limb of Henle’s loop Distal convoluted tubule
Renal pelvis Collecting duct
NEPHRON
1,000,000 nephrons / kidney
structural & functional units
Cortical nephron
~ in cortex, short Loop of Henle, osmoregulation under NORMAL condition
Juxtamedullary nephron
~ at junction of cortex & medulla, long Loop of Henle, osmoregulation when SHORT OF WATER
NephronRenal corouscle Glomerulus: knot of blood capillaries
Bowman’s capsule Proximal convoluted tubuleDescending limb of loop of HenleAscending limb of loop of HenleDistal convoluted tubuleCollecting duct
Functions of kidney
Excretion
~ remove nitrogenous waste i.e. urea, salts, water, heat, toxic substance
Osmoregulation
~ controlling amount of water in body
~ maintain osmotic potential
Urine Formation
Pressure filtration (ultrafiltration)
ReabsorptionTubular secretion
Ultrafiltration
Occur at Malpighian bodyGlomerular filtrate: all substances in blood except R
BCs & plasma protein
Blood pressureBlood pressure: Diameter of afferent arteriole > Diameter of efferent arteriole Glomerular filtrate rate 180l/ day Adaptation large area, great pressure, thin ,membrane
Reabsorption
99% of the glomerular filtrate are reabsorbedmatter reabsorbed:
all glucose, amino acid
mineral salts
other useful substances
SELECTIVE REABSORPTIONMethod of reabsorption
diffusion active transport
Sites of reabsorption
Proximal convoluted tubule
~ major site of reabsorption (80%)
~ microvilli surface area
~ numerous mitochondria
~ surrounded by pertubular capillaries
Sites of reabsorption
Loop of Henle
~ conserve water in terrestrial mammal
~ creates & maintain an increasing osmotic gradient in the medulla
~ Na+ in medulla vigorous osmotic extraction of water from collecting ducts hypertonic urine
Formation of hypertonic urine
Sites of reabsorption
Vasa recta
~ narrow capillaries situated close to loop of Henle
~ freely permeable to ions, urea & water
~ Counter current exchanger system
Counter current exchange system
Sites of reabsorption
Distal convoluted tubule
~ fine control of salt, water & pH balance of the blood
Collecting duct
~ water is extracted by osmosis conc. hypertonic urine
Tubular secretion
Takes place in distal convoluted tubuleabsorption of unnecessary: ammonia,
potassium & drug from capillary network & secrete them into lumen of tubule
Regulation of urine composition
Anti-diuretic hormone(ADH)AldosteroneRenin-angiotensin system
ADH
ADHADH
Aldosterone
Renin angiotensin system
Potassium content
most abundant intracellular ionreabsorbed by proximal convoluted tubule & l
oop of Henle, secreted by collecting ducts K secretion aldosterone secretion of K
Calcium content
Ca excitability of nerve & muscle cell membranes hypocalcemic tetany
Ca cardiac arrthythmiasmost reabsorbed, no secretion
pH level
Metabolic reactions are highly sensitive to H+
Sources of H+ gain or loss
Gain ~ from CO2, metabolism of protein etc,
loss of CO3 2- in diarrhea & urine
Loss ~ in vomitus & urine
Recommended
