Urinary System
Chapter 25
Filters ~200L of blood
Regulates volume of water and total concentration of solutes (osmolality)
Regulates concentrations of ions in extracellular fluid
Ensures long term acid-base balance
Excretes metabolic wastes and other toxins
Produces erythopoietin and renin
Converts vit D to its active form
Gluconeogenesis during prolonged fasting
Everyday function

Urinary System Overview
Anatomy of a Nephron
Glomerulus
Glomerular Capsule
Renal Tubule
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
Nephron Loop
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
Collecting Duct
Anatomy of a Nephron
Glomerulus
Glomerular Capsule
Renal Tubule
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
Nephron Loop
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
Collecting Duct
Tuft of capillaries
Fenestrated endothelium allows large amounts of solute rich and almost protein free fluid to pass from blood into glomerular capsule
Anatomy of a Nephron
Glomerulus
Glomerular Capsule
Renal Tubule
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
Nephron Loop
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
Collecting Duct
AKA Bowman’s capsule
2 layers
Parietal layer
Simple squamous
No part in forming filtrate
Visceral layer
Clings to capillaries
Podocytes terminate in foot processes which have openings called filtration slits
Anatomy of a Nephron
Glomerulus
Glomerular Capsule
Renal Tubule
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
Nephron Loop
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
Collecting Duct
Cuboidal Epithelium with large mitochondria
Microvilli on apical surface
Increases SA for reabsorbing water and solutes
Anatomy of a Nephron
Glomerulus
Glomerular Capsule
Renal Tubule
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
Nephron Loop
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
Collecting Duct
AKA the loop of Henle
Thick and thin segments
Thick=cuboidal
Thin=simple squamous
Anatomy of a Nephron
Glomerulus
Glomerular Capsule
Renal Tubule
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
Nephron Loop
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
Collecting Duct
Cuboidal epithelium like PCT but thinner and lack microvilli
Anatomy of a Nephron
Glomerulus
Glomerular Capsule
Renal Tubule
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
Nephron Loop
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
Collecting Duct
Collects filtrate from multiple nephrons
Fuse together near the renal pelvis and deliver urine into the minor calyces
Principal cells
Sparse, short microvilli
Maintain Na and H2O balance
More numerous
Intercalated cells
Cuboidal with microvilli
Type A and B
Maintain acid-base balance
Anatomy of a Nephron
Cortical
~85% of total
Almost entirely in the cortex
Juxtamedullary
Long nephron loop in medulla
Important role in concentrating urine
Classes of Nephrons
Glomerulus
Peritubular Capillaries
Vasa Recta
Juxtaglomerular Complex (JGC)
Nephron Capillaries
High pressure for filtration
Produces large amounts of fluid
Afferent arterioles
Arise from cortical radiate arteries
Efferent arterioles
Feed into either peritubular capillaries or vasa recta
Glomerulus
Cling to adjacent tubules and empty into venules
Low pressure and porous
Absorb solutes and water from tubules as they are reclaimed from filtrate
Service several adjacent nephrons
Peritubular Capillaries
Supply oxygen and nutrients to local tissue
Also play important role in concentrating urine
Vasa Recta
Point where afferent, efferent and DCT touch
Macula densa
Chemoreceptors for NaCl in DCT
Granular cells
Mechanoreceptors for BP in afferent
Secretes renin
Extraglomerular mesangial cells
Lie between MD and GC
Communicate with gap junctions
Juxtaglomerular Complex
Account for ~1% of body weight
Consume 20-25% of all body oxygen at rest
Filter entire plasma volume over 60 times daily
Process about 180L (47 gallons) of fluid
~1.5 L leave as urine, remaining returned to circulation
Kidney facts
Consists of 3 processes (steps)
Glomerular filtration
Tubular resorption
Tubular secretion
Urine Formation
Passive process due to hydrostatic pressure
Molecules under 5nm pass freely through fenestrations and podocytes
Molecules over 5nm (proteins, blood cells) prohibited (maintains colloid osmotic press)
Step 1- Glomerular Filtration
Step 1- Glomerular Filtration
Volume of filtrate formed each minute by combined activity of all glomeruli
Expressed in ml/min
Directly proportional to the following:
Net filtration pressure
Hydrostatic pressure in glomerulus most important
Total surface area available
Glomerular cap have huge SA
Mesangial cells can fine tune
Filtration membrane permeability
Fenestrations provide
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
GFR
GFR regulation
Step 2 – Tubular Resorption
Step 3 – Tubular Secretion
Countercurrent Mechanism
Control of Urine Concentration
Slender tubes that take urine from the kidney to the bladder
3 histologic layers
Mucosa
Continuous with mucosae of kidney pelvis superiorly and bladder medially
Muscularis
2 layers of smooth muscle proximal
Internal longitudinal layer
External circular layer
3rd layer in the distal 1/3
External longitudinal layer
Adventitia
Fibrous connective tissue
Ureters
Ureter Histology
Storage vessel for urine
Muscular layer called detrusor
Micturition – act of urinating
Trigone – triangular region of bladder base outlined by 3 openings
Rugae
Capacity 800-1000ml
3 layers
Mucosa
Muscular
Fibrous adventitia (superior cover is peritoneum)
Bladder
Bladder
Muscular tube that drains urine from the bladder to the outside of the body
Internal urethral sphincter
Involuntary
Formed by detrusor muscle
Prevents leaking between voiding
External urethral sphincter
Voluntary skeletal muscle
Levator ani muscle also helps with urethral constriction
Urethra
Medical Testing Blood
Urinalysis
Abnormal labs
Pathology
Bladder Stones
Can block urine from entering ureter
Pain in back with positive Chandelier sign
May have blood in urine
Treat with lithotripsy
Kidney Stones
