  3. Essential Terms kidney • produces urine to remove waste from the body by filtration of blood nephron • structure within kidney that actually filters the blood and composed of several parts nitrogen waste • produced by protein catabolism micturition • process of releasing urine from the body

  4. Introduction Urinary System • Eliminates non-useful metabolic byproducts such as nitrogenous wastes • Comprised of two kidneys, two, ureters, one urinary bladder and one urethra • Returns most water and useful solutes are to bloodstream • Urine results from filtration of blood plasma • Kidneys help maintain homeostasis

  5. Concept 24.1Kidney Functions

  6. Kidney Functions • Regulate various properties of the blood • Ionic composition • pH • Volume • Pressure • Glucose level • Produces hormones • Excretes waste and foreign substances

  7. Figure 24.1

  8. Concept 24.2Urinary Path

  9. Paired kidneys are retroperitoneal organs • Renal hilum • Area for entry and exit of nerves, blood and lymphatic vessels and ureter exit • 3 layers of connective tissue • Renal capsule – deep • Maintains shape and forms barrier • Adipose capsule – middle • Cushions and supports • Renal fascia – superficial • Anchors to abdominal wall

  10. Figure 24.2a

  11. Figure 24.2b

  12. Internal Anatomy • Renal cortex • Renal Medulla • Renal Pyramids • Renal papilla • Renal columns • Renal lobe • Nephrons – functional unit of kidney, filters blood • Papillary ducts • Minor and major calyces • Renal pelvis • Renal sinus

  13. Figure 24.3a

  14. Figure 24.3b

  15. Blood Supply • Renal arteries • Afferent vessels supply 20 - 25% of resting cardiac output • Segmental arteries • Interlobar arteries • Arcuate arteries • Interlobular arteries • Afferent arteriole • One per nephron and divides into glomerulus • Glomerulus • Network of glomerular capillaries to filter blood

  16. Figure 24.4a

  17. Figure 24.4b

  18. Blood Supply • Glomerulus • Glomerular capillaries form efferent arteriole • Peritubular capillaries • Vasa recta • Interlobular veins • Arcuate veins • Interlobar veins • Renal vein • Efferent vessel carries blood to inferior vena cava

  19. Concept 24.3Nephron Structure

  20. 2 Parts of Nephron • Renal corpuscle • Filters blood plasma • Glomerulus • Glomerular (Bowman’s) capsule • Renal tubule • Refines filtered fluid • Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) • Loop of Henle (LOH) • Distal convoluted tubule (DCT)

  21. Figure 24.5a

  22. Figure 24.5b

  23. Nephron Structure • Loop of Henle • Descending limb of loop of Henle • Ascending limb of loop of Henle • Cortical nephrons – 80-85% of nephrons • Corpuscles in outer cortex with short loops of Henle • Juxtamedullary nephrons – 15-20% • Corpuscles deep in cortex with long loops of Henle • Thin and thick ascending limb • Distal convoluted tubule • Collecting duct • Papillary ducts

  24. Nephron Structure – Histology • Glomerular Capsule • Podocytes • Capsular space • Renal tubule and collecting duct • Macula densa • Juxtaglomerular (JG) cells • Both comprise Juxtaglomerular (JGA) apparatus • Regulate blood pressure within kidneys

  25. Figure 24.6a

  26. Figure 24.6b

  27. Concept 24.4Nephron Function

  28. Functions of Nephron • Glomerular filtration • Tubular reabsorption • Tubular secretion • Removes substances from blood as waste

  29. Figure 24.7

  30. Concept 24.5Glomerular Filtration

  31. Filtration Membrane • Leaky barrier formed by endothelial cells and podocytes • 3 layers • Glomerular endothelial cell • Fenestrations • Mesangial cells • Basal lamina • Pedicles form filtration slits

  32. Figure 24.8a

  33. Figure 24.8b

  34. Filtration Process • Use of pressure to force fluids and solutes through a membrane • 3 reasons for large volume through renal corpuscles • Large surface area of glomerular capillaries • Mesangial cells • Thin, porous filtration membrane • High glomerular capillary blood pressure

  35. Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) • NFP = GBHP – CHP – BCOP • Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure (GBHP) • Promotes filtration • Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) • Opposes filtration • Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) • Opposes filtration

  36. Figure 24.9

  37. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) • Mechanisms that affect filtration pressure • Adjust blood flow • Alter available glomerular capillary surface area • GFR controlled by 3 mechanisms • Renal autoregulation • Negative feedback by macula densa • Neural regulation • Hormonal regulation

  38. Figure 24.10

  39. Renal Autoregulation • Renal Autoregulation • Myogenic mechanism • Tubuloglomerular feedback • Neural Regulation • Sympathetic neurons release norepinephrine to vasoconstrict afferent arterioles • Hormonal Regulation • Angiotensin II reduces GFR • Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) increases GFR

  40. Table 24.1

  41. Concept 24.6Tubular Reabsorption and Secretion

  42. Tubular Reabsorption • Return filtered water to body • 99% of filtered water is reabsorbed by epithelial cells • Solutes reabsorbed by active and passive mechanisms • Maintains homeostasis

  43. Table 24.2

  44. Tubular Secretion • Removes substances from blood to tubular fluid forming urine • Removal of H+ regulates blood pH • Eliminates waste from body

  45. Reabsorption Routes • Paracellular reabsorption – passive • Between adjacent tubule cells • Transcellular reabsorption • Through tubule cells • Na+/K+ pumps on basolateral membranes insures one way transport • Apical membrane • Basolateral membrane

  46. Figure 24.11

  47. Transport Mechanisms • Primary active transport • Secondary active transport • Coupled • Symporters or antiporters • Obligatory water reabsorption • Water follows solutes • Facultative water reabsorption • Regulated by ADH

  48. Reabsorption and Secretion in PCT • Most water reabsorbed by PCT • Na+ symporters in apical membrane of cells comprising PCT reabsorb: • Na+ • Glucose • Amino acids • Lactic acid • Water-soluble vitamins • Other nutrients

  49. Figure 24.12

  50. Reabsorption and Secretion in PCT • Na+/H+ antiporters carry Na+ into cell and H+ out to the lumen into tubular fluid • Carbonic anyhdrase (CA) catalyzes production of carbonic acid (H2CO3) • Important for homeostasis of blood pH • Symporters and antiporters enhance reabsorption of water, important ions, and minerals • Ammonia (NH3) and urea secreted by PCT into tubular fluid
