VI. Summary

An albatross can drink salt water – how can they do this without getting sick?!

2

If you eat a lot of salt, what happens to your

urine?

Thought Questions:

If you do not drink enough water, what

happens to your urine?

If you drink excess water, what happens

to your urine?

3

Maintains homeostasis of body fluids via water balance

aka ‘Excretory System’

Urinary System

Osmolarity, (solute concentration of solution), determines movement

of water across selectively permeable membranes

Hypoosmotic: lower solute conc, higher water

Hyperosmotic: higher solute conc, lower water

4

Excretesalt ionsfrom gills

Gain water, salt ions from food

Osmotic waterloss from gills,body surface

Excrete salt ions &little water in scanty urine from kidneys

wastes

Most urinary waste nitrogenous – from digesting protein

Vertebrate Urinary System

Blood filtered by a transport epithelium in kidneys

Fish excrete ammonia (toxic at high levels)

Land vertebrates convert to urea – add to urine

To reduce water-loss, desert animals (reptiles, snakes, birds) excrete uric acid (non-toxic, hydrophobic)

Desert kangaroo rat – excretes very concentrated urine

Which animal excretory system produces the most concentrated excretion product?

1. Flatworms

2. Earthworms

3. Saltwater fish

4. Freshwater fish

5. Humans

6. Birds

Human Urinary System1) Kidneys

• Blood w wastes brought by renal artery to kidney

• Filtered blood carried away by renal vein

2) Ureters• Transport urine away from kidney

3) Bladder• Stores urine• Max capacity ~ 1 L

4) Urethra• Transport urine from bladder to outside body

Urine forms in the nephron, ~1 million/kidney

Each nephron is a filter:

Glomerulus- network of capillaries

Bowman’s capsule- cup around glomerulus

Loop of Henle-Tubule network for adjusting water, salt, and waste levels

Collecting duct- carries fluid from nephron

Reabsorption

In proximal tubule, most water along with bicarbonate, K+, and NaCl are reabsorbed into blood.

Secretion

In distal tubule, additional wastes (like H+ and K+) are actively secreted into the tubule from the blood

Two-solute model:

NaCl and Urea are moved into the kidney medulla

Body detects dehydration. Signal from hypothalamus to posterior pituitary.

Posterior pituitary releases ADH into the bloodstream.

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) allows more water reabsorbed into the blood.

Concentrated urine produced

Water Balance

What effect would blocking ADH have?

Urine: Waste and remaining water from nephron• 95% water / 5% solutes (ions, urea)

Alcohol interferes with ADH

Production of dilute urine – Dehydration
