Anatomy and PhysiologyAnatomy and Physiology

• The urinary system is a body system that begins with the kidneys.

• The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space, a small area behind the peritoneum of the abdominal cavity.

• Other structures of the urinary system are located in the abdominopelvic cavity.

Anatomy and PhysiologyAnatomy and Physiology

• The male urethra is located in the penis.

• The purpose of the urinary system is to regulate and maintain the composition of the blood and to remove waste products of metabolism by producing, transporting, storing, and excreting urine.

Anatomy of the Urinary SystemAnatomy of the Urinary System

• Kidneys Reddish-brown in color Shaped like kidney beans Measure 4 inches long and 2 inches

wide, and weigh less than 1/2 pound The upper end of each is under the

lower edge of the rib cage in the flank area of the back.

• Kidneys The hilum is an indentation on the

medial surface of the kidney where the renal artery enters and the renal vein and ureter exit.

A fibrous capsule surrounds the kidney. Just beneath the capsule is the cortex.

• Kidneys Beneath that is the medulla that

contains the triangular-shaped renal pyramids.

The tip of each renal pyramid connects to a minor calyx, a duct that collects urine.

Figure 11-2 Right kidney.

• Kidneys Several minor calices drain into a major

calyx. Major calices drain into the renal pelvis,

a large, funnel-shaped area that narrows to become the ureter.

Urine flows continuously through minor calices, major calices, the renal pelvis, and into the ureter.

• Ureters Each is a 12-inch tube that connects the

renal pelvis of the kidney to the bladder. The ureteral orifices are the openings

into the bladder. The walls are smooth muscle that

contracts to move urine into the bladder, a process known as peristalsis.

• Bladder In the pelvic cavity and held in place by

ligaments Rounded top is the dome or fundus Is lined with mucosa, a mucous

membrane.

• Bladder When empty, the mucosa collapses into

folds, or rugae. When full, smooth muscle in the bladder

wall contracts to expel urine.

Figure 11-4 Bladder.

• Urethra A tube that carries urine from the

bladder to the outside of the body. External urethral sphincter is a muscular

ring that can be consciously controlled to release or hold back urine.

Urethral meatus is where the urethra opens to the outside of the body

• Urethra In men, the urethra is 7 to 8 inches long. As the urethra leaves the bladder, it

travels through the center of the prostate gland, a donut-shaped gland at the base of the bladder.

Enlargement of the prostate gland can affect the urinary system by pressing on, and narrowing, the urethra.

• Urethra Part of both the urinary and male

reproductive system, because it transports both urine and semen

In women, the urethra is much shorter, traveling only 1 to 2 inches from the bladder to the external surface of the body.

Physiology of thePhysiology of theFormation of UrineFormation of Urine

• The parenchyma is the functional or working tissue of an organ.

• The nephron, a microscopic structure, is the functional unit of the kidney and the site of urine production.

• The first part of the nephron is the glomerular capsule.

• The blood that enters the nephron also contains the following nutritional substances: Electrolytes Glucose Amino acids Vitamins

• Within this ball-shaped structure, the arteriole becomes the glomerulus, a network of intertwining capillaries.

• Waste products in the blood include: Urea Creatinine Uric acid Drugs and products of drug metabolism.

• The pressure of the blood pushes nutritional substances, water, and waste products through the capillary pores and into the ball-shaped collecting area of glomerular capsule.

• This process is known as filtration.

Figure 11-7 Nephron.

• The filtrate (nutritional substances, water, and waste products) in the glomerular capsule flows into the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron.

• Most of the water and nutritional substances move out of the tubule and return to the blood.

• This process is known as reabsorption.

• The proximal convoluted tubule becomes a U-shaped tubule known as the nephron loop.

• In the nephron loop, more water and electrolytes are reabsorbed.

• The nephron loop widens to become the distal convoluted tubule where more water and electrolytes, as well as amino acids and other nutritional substances, are reabsorbed.

• Urine is produced continuously by nephrons in the kidneys.

Figure 11-8 Production and urination.Glamy/Fotolia

• The process of eliminating urine from the body is described in several ways: Urination Micturition Voiding Passing water

Physiology of OtherPhysiology of OtherFunctions of the KidneysFunctions of the Kidneys

• Besides producing and excreting urine, the kidneys help the body to maintain a normal and constant internal environment.

• The kidneys respond if blood pressure decreases, if the pH of the blood decreases, or if the number of red blood cells decreases.

• Urine Tests Urinalysis (UA)• Color―Normal urine is light yellow to

amber in color, depending on its concentration.• Odor―Urine has a faint odor due to the

waste products in it.• pH―A test of how acidic or alkaline the

urine is.

• Urine Tests Urinalysis (UA)• Protein• Not normally found in the urine; its

presence indicates damage to the glomerulus.

• Glucose• Not normally found in the urine; presence

indicates uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.

• Urine Tests Urinalysis (UA)• Red blood cells (RBCs)• White blood cells (WBCs)• Ketones• Not normally found in the urine; produced

when the body cannot use (or does not have enough) glucose and instead metabolizes fat.

• Urine Tests Urinalysis (UA)• Specific gravity (SP)• Sediment• Other substances• Urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP)
