Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "The Urinary System”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about the urinary system, also known as the renal system. The urinary system is responsible for producing, storing, and eliminating urine from the body. It consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located in the back of the abdomen. They filter waste products from the blood, remove excess water and electrolytes, and produce urine. Urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two tubes called the ureters.

The bladder is a muscular sac that stores urine until it is eliminated from the body. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

The urinary system plays an important role in maintaining the bodys fluid and electrolyte balance, regulating blood pressure, and removing waste products from the body. Dysfunction of the urinary system can lead to various health conditions, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and kidney disease.

Slide 1-

Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology Unit 12:The Urinary System
Slide 2-

Organs of the Urinary system Kidneys (2) Ureters (2) Urinary bladder (1) Urethra (1)
Slide 3-

Location of the Kidneys Dimensions Reddish-brown, bean shaped 12cm long, 6cm wide, 3cm thick High on posterior abdominal wall at the level of T12 to L3- superior lumbar region Retroperitoneal & against the dorsal body wall The right kidney is slightly lower than the left ,convex laterally Attached to ureters, renal blood vessels, and nerves at renal hilus (medial indention) Atop each kidney is an adrenal gland
Slide 4-

Coverings of the Kidneys Adipose capsule Surrounds the kidney Provides protection to the kidney Helps keep the kidney in its correct location against muscles of posterior trunk wall Ptosis-kidneys drop to a lower position due to rapid fat loss, creating problems with the ureters. Ptosis can lead to hydronephrosis, a condition where urine backs up the ureters and exerts pressure on the kidney tissue. Renal capsule Surrounds each kidney
Slide 5-

Regions of the Kidney Three regions of kidneys Renal cortex – outer region, forms an outer shell Renal columns – extensions of cortex- material inward Renal medulla – inside the cortex, contains medullary (renal) pyramids Medullary pyramids – triangular regions of tissue in the medulla, appear striated Renal pelvis – inner collecting tube, divides into major and minor calyces Calyces – cup-shaped structures enclosing the tips of the pyramids that collect and funnel urine towards the renal pelvis

Functions of the Urinary System Elimination of waste products filtering gallons of fluid from the bloodstream every day creating “filtrate” “filtrate” includes: metabolic wastes, ionic salts, toxins, drugs Maintenance of blood Red blood cell production- by producing hormone erythropoietin to stimulate RBC production in bone marrow Blood pressure (vessel size)- by producing renin which causes vasoconstriction Blood volume (water balance)- ADH released from Anterior Pituitary targets the kidney to limit water loss when blood pressure decreases or changes in blood composition Blood composition (electrolyte balance)- water follows salt; aldosterone reclaims sodium to the blood Blood pH- regulates H+ ions and HCO3- ions
Slide 8-

Blood Flow in the Kidneys Rich blood supply to filter blood and adjust blood composition ~¼ of blood supply passes through the kidneys each minute Blood enters the kidneys under extremely high pressure Renal artery arises from abdominal aorta, divides into Segmental artery at hilus Inside renal pelvis, Segmental artery divides into Lobar artery, which branch into Interlobar artery travelling thru the renal column to reach the renal cortex At the medulla-cortex junction, the Interlobar artery curves over the medullary pyramids as the Arcuate artery. Small Interlobular arterioles branch off of the Arcuate artery and move away from the renal cortex and into the Nephron of the kidney
Slide 9-

Blood Flow in the Kidneys The final branches of the interlobular arteries are called afferent arterioles. Afferent arterioles lead to the glomerulus, a network of capillaries that are involved in filtration. Leading away from the glomerulus, blood less filtrate travels through the efferent arterioles and into the peritubular capillaries. From there, blood moves through similar veins that parallel the arteries at their respective locations.

Nephrons The structural and functional units of the kidneys Over 1 million Responsible for forming urine Consist of renal corpuscle and renal tubule Renal corpuscle composed of a knot of capillaries called the Glomerulus (a.k.a. Bowman’s Capsule) Renal tubule- enlarged, closed, cup-shaped end giving rise to the PCT, dLOH, aLOH, DCT, and CD.
Slide 12-

Glomerulus A specialized capillary bed fed and drained by arterioles. Glomerular capillaries filter fluid from the blood into the renal tubule GC is attached to arterioles on both sides in order to maintain high pressure Large afferent arteriole-arises from interlobular artery (feeder vessel); large in diameter, high resistance vessels that force fluid & solutes (filtrate) out of the blood into the glomerular capsule. 99% of the filtrate will be reclaimed by the renal tubule cells and returned to the blood in the peritubular capillary beds(blood vessels surrounding renal tubule) . Narrow efferent arteriole-merges to become the interlobular vein; draining vessel.
Slide 13-

Glomerulus Glomerular capillaries are covered with podocytes from the inner (visceral) layer of the glomerular capsule. Podocytes have long, branching processes called pedicels that intertwine with one another and cling to the glomerular capillaries. Filtration slits between the pedicels form a porous membrane around the glomerular capillaries. The glomerular capillaries sit within a glomerular capsule (Bowman’s capsule) Expansion of renal tubule Receives filtered fluid Renal tubule coils into the PCT, then the dLOH, aLOH, DCT and finally, the CD. Along the PCT, much of the filtrate is reclaimed
Slide 14-

Renal Tubule Glomerular (Bowman’s) capsule enlarged beginning of renal tubule Proximal convoluted tubule- lumen surface (surface exposed to filtrate) is covered with dense microvilli to increase surface area. The descending limb of the nephron - Loop of Henle The ascending limb of the nephron coils tightly again into the distal convoluted tubule Many DCT’s merge in renal cortex to form a collecting duct Collecting ducts not a part of nephron Collecting ducts receive urine from nephrons and deliver it to the major calyx and renal pelvis. CD run downward through the medullary pyramids, giving them their striped appearance.

Blood Supply of a Nephron Peritubular capillary Efferent arteriole braches into a second capillary bed Blood under low pressure Capillaries adapted for reabsorption instead of filtration. Attached to a venule and eventually lead to the interlobular veins to drain blood from the glomerulus Cling close to the renal tubule where they receive solutes and water from the renal tubule cells as these substances from the filtrate are reabsorbed into the blood. Juxtaglomerular apparatus At origin of the DCT it contacts afferent and efferent arterioles Epithelial cells of DCT narrow and densely packed, called macula densa Together with smooth muscle cells, comprise the juxtaglomerular apparatus Control renin secretion & indirectly, aldosterone secretion

Types of Nephrons Cortical nephrons Located entirely in the cortex Includes most nephrons Juxtamedullary nephrons Found at the boundary of the cortex and medulla and their LOH dip deep into the medulla.
Slide 19-

Urine Formation Processes Filtration- Water & solutes smaller than proteins are forced through the capillary walls and pores (of the glomerulus) into the renal tubule (Bowman’s capsule). Reabsorption- Water, glucose, amino acids & needed ions are transported out of the filtrate into the peritubular capillary cells and then enter the capillary blood. Secretion- Hydrogen ions, Potassium ions, creatinine & drugs are removed from the peritubular capillaries (blood) and secreted by the peritubular capillary cells into the filtrate.
Slide 20-

Filtration Beginning step of urine formation Occurs at the glomerulus, nonselective passive process Water and solutes smaller than proteins are forced through capillary walls of the glomerulus, which act as a filter. Fenestrations – (openings in glomerular walls) make glomerulus more permeable than other arterioles. Podocytes cover capillaries, make membrane impermeable to plasma proteins. Blood cells cannot pass out to the capillaries; filtrate is essentially blood plasma w/o blood proteins, blood cells. Filtrate is collected in the glomerular (Bowman’s) capsule and leaves via the renal tubule
Slide 21-

Filtration pressure Hydrostatic pressure of blood forces substances through capillary wall. Net filtration pressure normally always positive Hydrostatic pressure of blood is greater than the hydrostatic pressure of the glomerulus capsule and the osmotic pressure of glomerulus plasma If arterial blood pressure falls dramatically, the glomerular hydrostatic pressure falls below level needed for filtration. The epithelial cells of renal tubules lack nutrients and cells die. Can lead to renal failure.

Slide 23-

Filtration rate Rate of filtration is directly proportional to net filtration pressure. Regulation of filtration rate Rate typically constant; may need to increase or decrease to maintain homeostasis 1. Sympathetic nervous system reflexes Respond to drops in blood pressure and blood volume As pressure drops, sympathetic nerves cause vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles. Decreases rate of filtration Less urine produced, water is conserved As pressure rises, sympathetic nerves cause vasoconstriction of efferent arterioles. Increases rate of filtration More urine produced, water is removed
Slide 24-

Filtration rate 2. Renin production by JGA Renin is an enzyme controlling filtration rate Juxtaglomerular cells secrete renin in response to 3 stimuli Sympathetic stimulation (fast response) Specialized pressure receptors in afferent arterioles sense decrease in blood pressure Macula densa senses decrease in chloride, potassium, and sodium ions reaching distal tubule Released renin reacts with angiotensinogen in bloodstream to form angiotensin I  which is converted into angiotensin II by the angiotensin I converting enzyme, ACE Angiotensin II acts to vasoconstrict efferent arteriole Blood backs up into glomerulus, increasing pressure and maintains filtration rate Angiotension II also stimulates secretion of aldosterone from adrenal glands Stimulates tubular reabsorption of sodium & H2O follows
Slide 25-

Reabsorption The composition of urine is different than the composition of glomerular filtrate. Tubular reabsorption returns substances to the internal environment of the blood by moving substances through the renal tubule walls into the peritubular capillaries (99%) Some water, ions, glucose, amino acids Some reabsorption is passive = water  osmosis = small ions diffusion Most is active using protein carriers  by active transport Most reabsorption occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule, where microvilli cells act as transporters, taking up needed substances from the filtrate and absorbing them into the peritubular capillary blood. Substances that remain in the renal tubule become more concentrated as water is reabsorbed from the filtrate.
Slide 26-

Reabsorption – sodium and water The sodium potassium pump reabsorbs 70% of sodium ions in the PCT. The positive sodium ions attract negative ions across the membrane as well Water reabsorption occurs passively across the membrane to areas of high solute concentration Therefore, more sodium reabsorption = more water reabsorption Active transport of sodium ions occurs along remainder of nephron and collecting duct Almost all sodium ions and water are reabsorbed.
Slide 27-

Materials Not Reabsorbed Nitrogenous waste products Urea – formed by liver; end product of protein breakdown when amino acids are used to produce energy Uric acid – released when nucleic acids are metabolized Creatinine – associated with creatine metabolism in muscle tissue Excess water
Slide 28-

Secretion – Reabsorption in Reverse Some materials move from the peritubular capillaries into the renal tubules to be eliminated in urine. Example: Hydrogen ions; potassium ions Creatinine Drugs; penicillin; histamine Process is important for getting rid of substances not already in the filtrate or for controlling pH. Materials left in the renal tubule move toward the ureter
Slide 29-

Formation of Urine Summary: glomerular filtration of materials from blood plasma Reabsorption of substances, including glucose; water, sodium Secretion of substances, including penicillin, histamine, hydrogen and potassium ions
Slide 30-

Maintaining Water Balance Normal amount of water in the human body Young adult females – 50% Young adult males – 60% Babies – 75% Old age – 45% Water is necessary for many body functions and levels must be maintained
Slide 31-

Distribution of Body Fluid Intracellular fluid (inside cells) Extracellular fluid (outside cells) Interstitial fluid Blood plasma
Slide 32-

The Link Between Water and Salt Changes in electrolyte balance causes water to move from one compartment to another Alters blood volume and blood pressure (think of aldosterone) Can impair the activity of cells (swelling/edema) Water intake must equal water output Sources for water intake/output: Intake: Ingested foods and fluids, Water produced from metabolic processes (glycolysis) Output: Vaporization out of the lungs, Lost in perspiration, Leaves the body in the feces, Urine production Dilute vs. Concentrated Urine Dilute urine is produced if water intake is excessive Less urine (concentrated) is produced if large amounts of water are lost Proper concentrations of various electrolytes must be present
Slide 33-

Regulation of Water and Electrolyte Reabsorption Regulation is primarily by hormones Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) prevents excessive water loss in urine Neurons in the hypothalamus produce ADH, which are released by the anterior pituitary gland in response to a decrease in blood volume or water concentration ADH increases the water permeability of the distal convoluted tubule epithelium to the peritubular capillaries Decreases volume of urine, increasing concentration of solutes Negative feedback control Aldosterone regulates sodium ion content of extracellular fluid Triggered by the renin-angiotensin mechanism Stimulates the DCT to reabsorb sodium and excrete potassium Cells in the kidneys and hypothalamus are active monitors
Slide 34-

Maintaining Water and Electrolyte Balance
Slide 35-

Maintaining Acid-Base Balance in Blood Blood pH must remain between 7.35 and 7.45 to maintain homeostasis Alkalosis – pH above 7.45 Acidosis – pH below 7.35 Most acid-base balance is maintained by the kidneys Excrete bicarbonate ions if needed Conserve / generate new bicarbonate ions if needed Excrete hydrogen ions if needed Conserve / generate new hydrogen ions if needed Regulation of these ions results in a urine pH range of 4.5 to 8.0 Acidic urine: protein-rich diet, starvation, diabetes Basic urine: bacterial infections, vegetarian diet
Slide 36-

Characteristics of Urine Used for Medical Diagnosis Colored somewhat yellow due to the pigment urochrome (from the destruction of hemoglobin/bilirubin by-product) and solutes Sterile Slightly aromatic Normal pH of around 6 Specific gravity of 1.001 to 1.035
Slide 37-

Urine composition Composition differs considerably based upon diet, metabolic activity, urine output. ~95% water, contains urea and uric acid, electrolytes and amino acids (trace amount) Volume produced ranges from 0.6-2.5 liters per day (1.8L average). Depends on fluid intake, body and ambient air temperature, humidity, respiratory rate, emotional state Output of 50-60ml per hour normal, less than 30ml per hour may indicate kidney failure
Slide 38-

Ureters Slender tubes attaching the kidney to the bladder 10-12” long & ¼” diameter Superior end is continuous with the renal pelvis of the kidney Mucosal lining is continuous with that lining the renal pelvis and the bladder below. Enter the posterior aspect of the bladder at a slight angle Runs behind the peritoneum Peristalsis aids gravity in urine transport from the kidneys to the bladder. Smooth muscle layers in the ureter walls contract to propel urine. There is a valve-like fold of bladder mucosa that flap over the ureter openings to prevent backflow. Renal calculi= calculus means little stone; result of precipitated uric acid salts created by bacterial infections, urinary retention, and alkaline urine. Lithotripsy or surgery are common treatments.
Slide 39-

Urinary Bladder Smooth, collapsible, muscular sac Temporarily stores urine Located retroperitoneally in the pelvis posterior to the pubic symphysis.
Slide 40-

Urinary Bladder Trigone – three openings Two from the ureters (ureteral orifices) One to the urethra (internal urethral orifice) which drains the bladder. Common site for bacterial infections In males, prostate gland surrounds the neck of the bladder where it empties into the urethra.
Slide 41-

Urinary Bladder Wall Three layers of smooth muscle (detrusor muscle) Mucosa made of transitional epithelium Walls are thick and folded in an empty bladder 2-3” long Bladder can expand significantly without increasing internal pressure As it fills, the bladder rises superiorly in the abdominal cavity becoming firm and pear shaped. A moderately full bladder can hold ~500mL (1 pint) of urine. A full bladder can stretch to hold more than twice that amount.
Slide 42-

Urethra Thin-walled tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body by peristalsis Release of urine is controlled by two sphincters Internal urethral sphincter (involuntary) – a thickening of smooth muscle at the bladder-urethra jxn. keeps urethra closed when urine is not being passed. External urethral sphincter (voluntary) -- skeletal muscle that controls urine as the urethra passes through the pelvic floor.
Slide 43-

Urethra Gender Differences Length Females – 3–4 cm (1-1.5 inches) Males – 20 cm (7-8 inches) Location Females – along wall of the vagina Males – through the prostate and penis Function Females – only carries urine Males – carries urine and is a passageway for sperm cells
Slide 44-

Urethra Gender Differences Females: Feces can enter urethral opening causing Uretritis-inflammation of the urethra Pyelitis or pyelonephritis-inflammation of the kidneys Urinary tract infections-bacterial infection Dysuria Urgency Frequency Fever Cloudy urine Bloody urine Males: Prostatic, membranous and spongy (penile) urethrae Enlargement of the prostate gland causes urinary retention can be corrected with a catheter
Slide 45-

Micturition (Voiding) Both sphincter muscles must open to allow voiding The internal urethral sphincter is relaxed after stretching of the bladder ~200mL Activation is from an impulse sent to the spinal cord and then back via the pelvic nerves The external urethral sphincter must be voluntarily relaxed Incontinence-inability to control micturition Retention-inability to micturate
