organs of urinary (4)

kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra

2 main kidney functions

eliminate metabolic waste


regulate volume and composition of blood fluid

most toxic waste by metabolism

nitrogenous


urea

50% nitrogenous waste, protein catabolism`

uric acid

nucleic acid catabolism

creatinine

breakdown of creatine phosphate

nitrogenous waste measure by

blood urea nitrogen (bun)

4 excretion organs

respiratory, integumentary, digestive, urinary

adrenal glands

tops of kidneys

nephron

1.2 million functional units

kidney is the size

of a bar of soap

slit where nerves blood and lymph pass

hilum

3 layers of connective tissue

renal fascia, adipose tissue, renal capsule

renal fascia

suspends kidney

renal capsule

protects

8 kidney structure

renal sinus, renal papilla, cortex&medulla, columns,renal pyramids, minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis

minor calyx

Collects urine

circulation in kidney

aorta, renal artery, segmental arteries, interlobular arteries, arcuate arteries, cortical radiate arteries

nephron circulation

afferent arterioles, glomerulus, efferent arteriole

renal corpuscle

blood plasma filtered


glomerulus and bowmans capsule

renal tubule

processes filtrate into urine

3 parts of renal tubule

proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop, distal convoluted tubule

2 parts of nephron loop

thick- active transport to reabsorb salts


thin- permeable to water

convoluted

twisted

3 stages of urine formation

glomerular filtration. tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion, water conservaton

glomerular filtratoin

only lets water and some solutes through

3 parts of glomerular filtration

fenestrated endothelium, basement membrane, filtration slits

fenestrated enothelium

get bloodcells out

basement membrane

holds back anything over 8 nanometers and its really hard for protein to make it through

filtration slits

octopus like another barrier

how many liters of urine a day

1-2L glomerular filtration rate

glomerular blood pressure adjusted by what 3 mechanisms

renal autoregulation,sympathetic control, hormonal control

renal autoregulation

nephrons adjust bloodflow through mygenic mechanisms and tubulorglomerular feedback

myogenic mechanisms

contraction of afferent arteriole

tubuloglomerular feedback

monitors proximal convoluted tubule

renal autoregulation does not

prevent changes in glomerular filtration rate or compensate for extreme changes in blood pressure

sympathetic control

redirects bloodflow to other regions

hormonal control

raises bloodpressure by reducing water loss, increasing h2o intake, water retention

proximal convoluted tubule (4)

reabsorb 65% of nutrients


removes bad stuff from blood


microvilli and length help


mitochondria does active transport

nephron loop

creates salinity gradient so water is sucked out

aldosterone

salt retaining hormone

atrial natriuretic peptide

secrete salt when hbp

in lower medulla osmolarity

is high outside tubule to absorb water

muscle that surrounds bladder

detrusor

3 parts of male urethra

prostatic, membranous, and spongy

voiding

micturition

part of brain that sends bladder is full signal

pons

2 fluid compartments

65% intercellular


35% extracellular

sources of water

metabolic processes, drinking and eating (preformed)

loss of water

urine, feces, breathing, sweat

thirst center

hypothalamus

what controls thirst

osmolarity

fluid dificiency

water and sodium low

dehydration

lose more water

fluid excess

volume excess, hypotonic hydration, fluid sequestration

volume excess

to much aldosterone or renal failure

Hypotonic hydration

roofing

fluid sequestration

edema

sodium function

important in nerve and muscle electricity, 90-95% of osmolarity

how much sodium to we need

.5g/day we get 3-7

3 sodium affecting hormones

aldosterone, adh, and atrial natriuretic peptide(gets water and salt out)

hyper and hyponatremia

hyper-water retention and high blood pressure


hypo- water intoxication

potassium

most abundant intracellular

hyperkalemia

over exciteable muscle cells

hypokalemia

nerve and muscle cells are less exciteable

chloride

osmolarity, stomach acid, chloride shift, and ph

calcium

skeleton, neurotransmitters, blood clotting

ph

7.35-7.45

acid

gives h+

base

take oh-

2 types of muffer

physiological and chemical

physiological buffers

respiratory and urinary

what is best at ph control

kidneys

what 3 things are involved in urinary system controlling ph

carbonic acid, bicarbonate, and water
