Main parts of the urinary system are:a) kidneys b) ureters c) the urinary

bladder d) the urethra

The location of the kidneys* The two kidneys lie against the muscles of

the back in the upper abdomen. * Each kidney is enclosed in a membranous

capsule. * The kidneys, as well as the ureters, lie

behind the peritoneum, in the retro peritoneal space.

Functions of the kidneys are:

•Regulation of the volume of the extra cellular fluids and PH of the organism

•Excretion of the toxic substances or the waste products of the human metabolism that should be removed from the human body

•Production of renin, an enzyme which is important in the regulation of blood pressure.

•Production of the hormone erythropoetine, which stimulates the production of red blood cells in red bone marrow (when the kidneys do not get enough oxygen).

Development of the kidneys:

The whole urinary system has 3 stages of the development:

*The 1st stage is called pronephros (the 3rd week) - has dorsal-lateral caudal position, has no excretory function.*The 2nd stage is called mesonephros (the 4th week of gestation) - develops as a tubular part up to collecting tubules entering cloacae.*The 3rd stage is called metanephros - is the final kidney and develops from two parts: mesoderm and the mesonephros.

Page 5: Main parts of the urinary system are: a) kidneys b) ureters c) the urinary bladder d) the urethra The location of the kidneys * The two kidneys lie against

•The budging of mesonephrotic duct grows and differentiates into uretras, pelvis, calyxes and collecting tubules.

•Along with the development of the tubules the mesoderm accumulates and regroups around them forming the capsule of the glomeruli.

•The parietal cells multiply more rapidly than the visceral.

•Capillary system enters Bowman’s capsule forming future glomeruli of the kidney.

Development of the kidneys (continued):

Development of the kidneys (continued):

Simultaneously the tubular part of the nephron develops later being fused to the collecting ducts of the mesonephros. *The formation of the final kidney goes on in the pelvic part of the body.

Page 7: Main parts of the urinary system are: a) kidneys b) ureters c) the urinary bladder d) the urethra The location of the kidneys * The two kidneys lie against

Development of the kidneys (continued):

•With development of the urinary organs they ascend to the lumbar part locating retroperitoneally.

•Simultaneously the rotation of the kidney starts and at the final position they are bean - shaped and their convex margin is faced laterally.

•The abnormal development of the urinary system results in the formation of the different malformations: cystic kidney, renal agenesis or aplasia, dislocations, S – like kidney, L – like kidney horseshoe kidney and so on.

•Placenta plays a role of kidney before the full development of the urinary tract is finished.

Development of the kidneys (continued):

Page 9: Main parts of the urinary system are: a) kidneys b) ureters c) the urinary bladder d) the urethra The location of the kidneys * The two kidneys lie against

*Relatively big size*Lower position of the kidney up to the 2 years.*At the age of 5 years and in older children the structure of

the kidney is similar to those of adults.

The anatomical and morphological peculiarities of the kidneys:

Page 10: Main parts of the urinary system are: a) kidneys b) ureters c) the urinary bladder d) the urethra The location of the kidneys * The two kidneys lie against

–Nephron is not fully differentiated before 2 year. Thus the Bowmen capsules visceral layer is covered by the cubical epithelial cells which make the filtration difficult.

–At the age of 2 - 4 years the cubical epithelium exists only in the small foci of the kidney, mainly it is replaced by the plane one.

The anatomical and morphological peculiarities of the kidneys (continued):

Page 11: Main parts of the urinary system are: a) kidneys b) ureters c) the urinary bladder d) the urethra The location of the kidneys * The two kidneys lie against

–Relatively small size of renal glomeruli before 2 year results in lower filtration surface.

–The renal tubules are short, and their lumen is narrower.

–The loop of Henle is shorter and the lumen is narrower than in adults so the re-absorption of the primary urine is restricted.

The anatomical and morphological peculiarities of the kidneys (continued):

–Lobular surface. By the 2nd year the lobularity of kidney surface disappears.

–Cortex is not fully developed

–Hyper motility during respiration

–The renal pelvis is developed fully, but the muscular and elastic tissue is not completely formed.

*The urinary lymphoid system has a connection to the GIT lymphoid system which contributes to the contamination of the urinary system by the GIT microbes.

*The urethras have bigger diameter, they are relatively longer so they form a folders and loops.

The anatomical and morphological peculiarities of the kidneys (continued):

Page 14: Main parts of the urinary system are: a) kidneys b) ureters c) the urinary bladder d) the urethra The location of the kidneys * The two kidneys lie against

–The urinary bladder has a poorly developed muscular layer and elastic tissue. Conversely the mucous is fully developed and well vascularized.

–The urinary bladder in children is smaller, has a higher position than the pubic symphysis, which makes the palpation and the puncture easier.

The daily amount of the urine in 1 month children – 200-250ml, in 1 year – 600ml.

The daily amount of the urine in children at age 1-10 years can be counted by the following formula

600+100(n-1)

n – age in years.

The anatomical and morphological peculiarities of the kidneys (continued):

Page 19: Main parts of the urinary system are: a) kidneys b) ureters c) the urinary bladder d) the urethra The location of the kidneys * The two kidneys lie against

–There are differences in the chemical content and the osmolarity of the urine which depend on the age. The osmolarity of the urine is lower.

–The content of the uric acid in the final urine is higher at the 3-4th day of the life often resulting in kidney infarctions.

Functional peculiarities of the urinary tract in children (continued):

–The reabsorbtion of the glucose is decreased, so the glucosuria is one of the physiological peculiarities of the childhood period.

–The reabsorbtion of the sodium is higher which results in the accumulation of the water in the circulatory system.

Functional peculiarities of the urinary tract in children (continued):

–Excretion of the acidic radicals is lower so the kidney ability to regulate the alkaline – basic balance is much more lower.

–Excretion of the ammonia is lower

–The secretion of some substances, like penicillin or para-aminohippuric acid, is decreased.

–The number of urination in newborn- 20-25, in infant- 15.

Functional methods of the urine examination:

1.Concentrating test – Zymnitskii test:

* Collect the urine each 3 hours. The first 4 portions of the urine make the daily diuresis, the last 4 portions make nocturnal diuresis. The daily one is 2/3 or ¾ of the whole amount of the urine. If the nocturnal portion is more nicturia is present.

* The normal daily ranges between the maximal and minimal urine density are 8-10.

Zymnitskii test (continued):

•Density of the urine is compared with the plasma density:

•The density equal to plasma 1010- 1012 is called isostenuria,

•The lower one–is hypostenuria (in chronic renal failure, diabetes insipidus).

2. Urine culture

* Bacteriuria is defined as amount of bacteria more than 100000 in 1 ml of the urine..

* Pyuria is a presence of an excessive leucocyturia and bacteriuria.

* Can be observed in urinary tract infection, pyelonephritis.

3. Glomerular filtration is based on the determination of creatin clearance.

•Normal GF = 100-120ml/min

•Formula to count the amount of creatin excreted is

•C=UV:P where C – creatin filtration, U – creatin amount in the urine

•V- one minute diuresis, P – plasma amount of creatin.
