  1. Chapter 26, part 2 The Urinary System

  2. Renal tubule and blood flow • Blood travels from efferent arteriole to peritubular capillaries • Vasa recta • Renal tubule begins at renal corpuscle • Includes glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule • Blood leaves the nephron via the efferent arteriole

  3. Glomerulus anatomy • Podocytes cover lamina densa of capillaries • Project into the capsular space • Pedicels of podocytes separated by filtration slits

  5. Figure 26.8 The Renal Corpuscle Figure 26.8c, d

  6. Functional anatomy of the nephron • Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) • Actively reabsorbs nutrients, plasma proteins and ions from filtrate • Released into peritubular fluid • Loop of Henle • Descending limb • Ascending limb • Each limb has a thick and thin section PLAY Animation: Urinary System Anatomy

  7. Functional anatomy of the nephron • Distal convoluted tubule (DCT) • Actively secretes ions, toxins, drugs • Reabsorbs sodium ions from tubular fluid PLAY Animation: Urinary System Dissection and Flythrough

  8. SECTION 26-3Principles of Renal Physiology

  9. Urine production maintains homeostasis • Regulating blood volume and composition • Excreting waste products • Urea • Creatinine • Uric acid

  10. Basic processes of urine formation • Filtration • Blood pressure • Water and solutes across glomerular capillaries • Reabsorption • The removal of water and solutes from the filtrate • Secretion • Transport of solutes from the peritubular fluid into the tubular fluid

  11. Carrier Mediated Transport • Filtration in the kidneys modified by carrier mediated transport • Facilitated diffusion • Active transport • Cotransport • Countertransport • Carrier proteins have a transport maximum (Tm) • Determines renal threshold

  12. Reabsorption and secretion • Accomplished via diffusion, osmosis, and carrier-mediated transport • Tm determines renal threshold for reabsorption of substances in tubular fluid

  13. Renal function • Most regions of the nephron perform a combination of functions • General functions can be identified • Filtration in the renal corpuscle • Nutrient reabsorption along the PCT • Active secretion at PCT and DCT • Loops of Henle regulate final volume and solute concentration

  15. SECTION 26-4Renal Physiology: Filtration and the Glomerulus

  16. Filtration pressures - Glomerular filtration • Occurs as fluids move across the glomerulus • In response to glomerular hydrostatic pressure (GHP) and blood pressure in the glomerular capillaries • Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CsHP) opposes GHP • Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) opposes GHP • Net hydrostatic pressure (NHP) = GHP – CsHP • Filtration (FP) = NHP – BCOP

  17. Figure 26.10 Glomerular Filtration Figure 26.10

  18. Figure 26.10 Glomerular Filtration Figure 26.10a, b

  19. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) • Amount of filtrate produced in the kidneys each minute • Factors that alter filtration pressure change GFR

  20. Factors controlling the GFR • A drop in filtration pressure stimulates Juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) • Releases renin and erythropoietin

  21. Figure 26.11 The Response to a Reduction in the GFR Figure 26.11a

  22. Figure 26.11 The Response to a Reduction in the GFR Figure 26.11b

  23. Sympathetic activation • Produces powerful vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles • Decreases GFR and slows production of filtrate • Changes the regional pattern of blood flow • Alters GFR • Stimulates release of renin by JGA
