  1. Intro to Excretion

  2. Excretion • Excretion • Release and removal of metabolic wastes • Metabolic Wastes • Excess water • Salts • Carbon Dioxide • Nitrogenous Wastes

  3. Excretion • Nitrogenous Wastes • Result from the breakdown of proteins • Toxic • Ammonia • Uric Acid • Urea

  4. Excretory System • Excretory system- • Skin (sweat) • Excess water • Salts • Small amounts of urea • Lungs • Carbon Dioxide • Kidneys (urine) • Water • Salts • Urea • Uric Acid

  5. Diagram A – Kidneys and Urinary Tract • 1. Kidney • Filters blood • 2. Ureter • Carries urine from kidney to bladder • 3. Bladder • Stores urine • 4. Urethra • Eliminates urine from the body

  6. Diagram A – Kidneys and Urinary Tract • Also • aorta (left)- red • inferior vena cava (right)- blue

  7. Diagram B- Kidney • 1. Medulla • “Middle” area of kidney, between cortex and pelvis • 2. Nephron • Functional unit of kidney, filtration occurs here • 3. Cortex • Outer portion of kidney

  8. Diagram B- Kidney • 4. Ureter • Carries urine from kidney to bladder • 5. Renal vein • Carries filtered blood from kidney • 6. Renal artery • Carries unfiltered blood to kidney

  9. Diagram B- Kidney • 7. Pelvis • Collects urine from the collecting tubules

  10. Diagram C- Nephron • 1. Convoluted Tubules • Carry the materials filtered from the blood • 2. Loop of Henle • Tubule that drops then goes up through the capillary net

  11. Diagram C- Nephron • 3. Collecting tubules • Collects urine from the convoluted tubules • 4. Venule • Returns filtered blood to renal vein • 5. Arteriole • Brings unfiltered blood from renal artery

  12. Diagram C- Nephron • 6. Bowman’s Capsule • Cuplike structure that collects filtrate from blood (filtration) • 7. Glomerulus • Ball of capillaries inside Bowman’s Capsule (filtration)

  13. Diagram D- Filtration • A. Blood entering Nephron • needed materials • wastes • C. Enters Bowman’s Capsule- (filtrate) • water • amino acids • glucose • salts • Urea

  14. Diagram D- Filtration • B. Remains in blood- • blood cells • plasma proteins

  15. Diagram D- Reabsorption • D. Reabsorbed into blood- • needed water • amino acids • glucose • salts

  16. Diagram D- Excretion • E. Excreted as urine- • water • urea • salts • uric acid
