Urinary System Organs
• Kidneys: principal organs• Urinary bladder: provides
a temporary storage reservoir for urine
• Paired ureters: transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder
• Urethra: transports urine from the bladder out of the body

Kidney Location and External Anatomy
• Retroperitoneal position behind the peritoneum• Superior lumbar region
• From the twelfth thoracic to the third lumbar vertebrae
• The right kidney is lower than the left
• Hilum: Medial border where ureters, blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves enter and exit

Nephron
• Nephrons are the structural and functional units that form urine, consisting of:
1. Renal Corpuscle: The collective term for the glomerulus and the surrounding capsule• Glomerulus: Tuft of capillaries• Bowman’s capsule: Enlarged end of the renal
tubule that surrounds the glomerulus2. Renal Tubule: Tube into which fluid passes
• Proximal convoluted tubule• Loop of Henle• Distal convoluted tubule

Nephron
• Cortical Nephrons: 80-85% of all nephrons• Their renal corpuscles lie in the outer portion of
the renal cortex• Have short loops of Henle
• Lie mainly in the cortex• Penetrate only into outer region of the renal medulla
• Juxtamedullary nephrons: 15-20% of nephrons• Renal corpuscle lies deep in cortex near medulla• Have long loops of Henle
• Responsible for creating medullary concentration gradient that allows the kidney to change dilution of urine

Juxtamedullary Nephrons
• Juxtamedullary nephrons: 15-20% of nephrons• Renal corpuscle lies deep in
cortex near medulla• Have long loops of Henle
• Responsible for creating medullary concentration gradient that allows the kidney to change dilution of urine
• Vasa Recta capillaries around the loops of Henle

Glomerulus
• The primary filtering device of the nephron
• Blood is transported into the Bowman's capsule from the afferent arteriole
• Within the capsule, the blood is filtered through the glomerulus and then passes out via the efferent arteriole.
• Filtered water and aqueous wastes are passed out of the Bowman's capsule into the proximal convoluted tubule.
![Page 14: Lab Exercise 28 Anatomy of the Urinary System Portland Community College BI 233.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eb45503460f94bbbee4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Glomerulus + Bowman’s Capsule =Renal Corpuscle
• The first part of the nephron
• The afferent arteriole leads to the glomerulus, which is a specialized capillary bed.
• Filtration: The hydrostatic force of the blood pressure pushes the fluid from the blood out into Bowman’s capsule.
• Filtrate: The fluid pushed out consists of everything except blood cells and large proteins.
![Page 15: Lab Exercise 28 Anatomy of the Urinary System Portland Community College BI 233.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eb45503460f94bbbee4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Reabsorption
• Reabsorbed substances must pass through 3 membranes in order to reach the blood:
1. Apical (lumen) side of the tubule cells
2. Basal (capillary) side of the tubule cells
3. Capillary endothelium
Reabsorption is the process of moving substances from the filtrate back into the blood
![Page 19: Lab Exercise 28 Anatomy of the Urinary System Portland Community College BI 233.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eb45503460f94bbbee4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Secretion
• Secreted substances must pass through 3 membranes in order to reach the filtrate:
1. Capillary endothelium
2. Basal (capillary) side of the tubule cells
3. Apical (lumen) side of the tubule cells
Secretion is moving substances from the blood and putting them into the filtrate
![Page 20: Lab Exercise 28 Anatomy of the Urinary System Portland Community College BI 233.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eb45503460f94bbbee4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Nephrons
• Notice how the distal convoluted tubule folds around and is next to the afferent arteriole.
![Page 21: Lab Exercise 28 Anatomy of the Urinary System Portland Community College BI 233.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eb45503460f94bbbee4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Macula Densa
• There is a portion of the DCT that abuts the afferent arteriole.
• At that region of the DCT, there are tall, closely-packed DCT cells that collectively are known as the macula densa.
• Macula densa cells are osmoreceptors that are responsible for measuring filtrate Na+• If Na+ is low in the filtrate, the macula densa
send a chemical signal to the juxtaglomerular cells to release renin.
![Page 22: Lab Exercise 28 Anatomy of the Urinary System Portland Community College BI 233.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eb45503460f94bbbee4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Juxtaglomerular Cells
• In the afferent arteriole where the DCT is touching, there are specialized smooth muscle cells known as juxtaglomerular cells.
• Act as baroreceptors• These JG cells contain large amounts of
secretory granules containing renin • When blood pressure low, the JC cells
release their renin

Renin-Angiotensin System
• Renin is an enzyme that cleaves the plasma protein angiotensinogen into angiotensin I. • Angiotensinogen is made in the liver
• Angiotensin I will be converted into angiotensin II by Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) in the lung
• Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and thus increases BP.
• The increase in BP will increase glomerular filtration.
![Page 25: Lab Exercise 28 Anatomy of the Urinary System Portland Community College BI 233.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eb45503460f94bbbee4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Angiotensin II
• Angiotensin II causes:• Systemic vasoconstriction (increases blood pressure)
• The adrenal cortex to release aldosterone
• The posterior pituitary to release antidiuretic hormone.
• Aldosterone will cause certain DCT cells and collecting duct cells (principle cells) to reabsorb more Na+ and thus more water.
• ADH will cause the collecting duct and DCT to increase its reabsorption of water. • This water will be reabsorbed into the peritubular capillaries
causing both blood volume and blood pressure to increase.
![Page 26: Lab Exercise 28 Anatomy of the Urinary System Portland Community College BI 233.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eb45503460f94bbbee4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Nephron Vasculature
• Consists of 2 capillary beds separated by the intervening efferent arteriole.
• The 1st capillary bed (the glomerulus) produces the filtrate
• The second capillary bed (peritubular capillaries) reclaims most of that filtrate
• Vasa recta - bundles of long straight vessels that run beside the loops of Henle deep into the medulla.
