THE SYSTEM Fun Facts:
~You can contain over 2 pints of urine in your bladder!

Renal Artery Fun Facts:
~For a normal person at rest, the Renal Arteries carry up to 1.2 liters of blood at one time
~This is approximately ¼ of the heart’s output
~This means that the blood in the human body circulates through the kidneys once every four to five minutes!
Brings blood to the Kidneys from the abdominal aorta When the Renal Artery reaches the
Kidneys, it branches into two, and then splits into many smaller veins into the Kidneys
The Renal Vein returns the blood to the inferior Vena Cava

Kidney-Function
Fun Facts:
~You only need one Kidney to survive!
~If you only have one kidney, then it’s size increases by 50% in order to make up for the missing one.
The kidney’s function Filter the blood. Produce urine that contains salts,
toxins, and water. Makes sure that body tissues get
enough water to function properly. Controls the blood pressure, and level
of salts in the blood. Controls red blood cell productions
which carry oxygen throughout the body.
Filters poisons from the body.

Kidney Structure
Fun Facts:
Two kidneys - one on each side of the
vertebral column.
In the indentation of the kidney, the ureter and the renal vain leave the kidney, the renal artery enters.
On the outside of the kidney there is the renal cortex made up of many tubes and blood vessels.
The renal medulla is in between the cortex and the center, and is made up of renal pyramids.
The cortex and the medulla make the functional tissue of the kidney.
The Renal Pelvis’ function is to collect the urine. From the pyramids, the urine goes to the ureter.

Kidneys and Homeostasis
In order to keep a steady, healthy condition, a kidney: Maintains water balance in the human
body. Takes the toxins out of the body to keep
the blood at a steady, healthy condition. Regulates the blood pressure and the
red blood cell productions that carry oxygen through the body.

Nephron- Structure and
Function
~There are approximately 1.25 million in each kidney
Function: Make the urine by removing waste and
excess substances from the blood.
Structure: They are located at the cortex and the
medulla of the kidneys. Two parts: the renal corpuscle and the
renal tubule. The renal corpuscle contains the
glomerulus. Urine passes through the nephrons.

Bowman’s Capsule
This is the cup-like structure at the end of a Nephron.
It contains the Glomerulus.

Glomerulus
Blood flows into it and it flows away through blood vessels.
Blood enters and leaves the Glomerulus through the inner wall of the capsule.
It is the filter.

Loop of Henle ~Found in the Kidney of Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles
Its primary function is to recover water and sodium chloride from the urine.
This puts a limit on the amount of water intake needed to survive.
Long, U-shaped portion of the tubule found in each Nephron of the Kidney.

Ureter
Muscular tubes that carry Urine from the Renal Pelvis to the Bladder. These tubes have three layers:
The Outer: fibrous connective tissue The Middle: to control the flow of urine The Inner: creates mucus to coat and
protect the surface of the cells
Contractions and Gravity move the Urine to the bladder.

Process of Filtration
Filtration: The movement of water and dissolved
materials from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure.
Blood cells and other cells too large to be filtered out are left in the blood.
1st and basic filtering.

Reabsorption
After filtration, these are taken back(REABSORBED): Water Organic Nutrients Vitamins Sugars
2nd Filtering

Secretion
Urine is released What’s different?
All waste Anything useful to the body has been
filtered out

How Urine is Eliminated from
the Body
1. Blood enters the kidney through the Renal Artery.
2. Blood enters a Nephron in the Kidney. 3. Filtration-In the glomerolous-blood is taken
away. 4. Reabsorption- In the Loop of Henle –nutrients
and water are taken away. 5. Secretion- waste leaves through Ureter to the
bladder.
