Functions of the Urinary system• 1. Regulating blood volume and pressure
• 2. Regulating plasma concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride and other ions
• 3. Stabilising blood pH
• 4. Conserving nutrients
• 5. Detoxifying poisons (with the liver)

Organisation of the Urinary System
• Kidneys• Ureters• Urinary bladder• Urethra

Protection of the Kidneys
• 3 layers of connective tissue:– Inner layer- Renal capsule
– Middle layer- Adipose capsule
– Outer layer-Renal fascia
Renal cortex
Retroperitoneal space

Nephron-Tubular System1. Proximal convoluted
tubule
2. Descending loop of Henle
3. Ascending loop of Henle
4. Distal convoluted tubule

Summary so far…..Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery at the site of the hilum
The renal artery divides in to ever smaller arteries and arterioles
Afferent arterioles take blood to the glomerulus to be filtered
Once blood is filtered efferent arterioles take blood away from the glomerulus
The glomerulus is a network of capillaries which filters the blood
Products which are filtered out: water, mineral salts, amino acids, glucose, hormones, urea, toxins
Products which do not filter and remain in the blood: Leukocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, plasma proteins
The filtered substances move into the proximal convoluted tubule
The PCT is concerned with reabsorption- organic nutrients are reabsorbed and water follows because there is a concentration gradient
The remaining filtrate moves into the descending loop of henle. This is lined with thin cells so water moves out
Because water has been reabsorbed the concentration of the filtrate is not very high
The walls of the ascending loop of henle are lined with thicker cells, so water can’t pass in or out. Instead sodium and chloride is pumped out actively
The filtrate now enters the distal convoluted tubule- is it now only 20% of what it originally was.In the DCT the volume and
composition of the filtrate can be adjusted but this is controlled by hormones
From the DCT the filtrate now passes into the collecting duct.
A number of other nephrons join up to the cleectig duct which travels through the medulla to the renal papilla wher the filtrate is emptied in the minor calyx
4-5 minor calyces join up to make a major calyx
2-3 major calyces join up to form the renal pelvis
The renal pelvis joins the ureter at the hilum
The ureter transport the filtrate/urine from the kidney to the bladder

The Formation of Urine
• 3 processes involved in the formation of urine.
– Simple filtration– Selective reabsorbtion
• Hormonal control-» Parathyroid hormone, calcitonin» Anti diuretic hormone» Aldosterone
– Secretion

Ureters• Superiorly
• Continuous with the renal pelvis
• Inferiorly• Pass through the abdominal
cavity, behind the peritoneum, infront of the psoas muscle, into the pelvic cavity ehere they enter the posterior wall of the bladder
• 25-30 cm in length

Ureter- Cross Section
• 3 layers of tissue
– Outer layer• Fibrous tissue
– Middle layer• Muscle
– Inner layer• Epithelium

Bladder- structure of
• 3 layers– Outer layer
• Loose connective tissue
– Middle layer• Smooth muscle and
elastic fibres
– Inner layer• Lined with transitional
epithelium

Urethra
• Extends from the base of the bladder to the outside world.
• Anatomical differences mean that male and female urethras are different.– Female: 4cm
long– Male: 14cm
