17.1 Introduction
-Cells produce waste that can become toxic if it accumulates
Functions●the urinary system removes salts
and nitrogenous wastes●maintains normal concentration of
water and electrolytes●maintains pH, controls red blood
cell production and blood pressure

Composition●consists of a pair of kidneys which remove
substances from the blood●ureters which transport urine from the kidneys
to the bladder●urinary bladder stores urine●urethra conveys urine to the outside of the
body

Kidneys●lie on either side of the
vertebral column deep in the abdominal cavity
●positioned behind the parietal peritoneum (retroperitoneally)

Parts of the Kidney
-renal pelvis = medial funnel-shaped collection area of kidney-renal medulla = center of the kidney-renal cortex = outer shell around the medulla; the cortex appears granulated due to the presence of nephrons-renal arteries and veins supply blood to the kidneys

Renal Arteries & Veins
●Arteries attach to the abdominal aorta●Veins attach to the inferior vena cava

NEPHRONS - functional unit of the urinary systemQuick Analogy: A nephron is to the urinary system as the _________________ is to the nervous system
-each kidney contains about 1 million nephrons-renal corpuscle: composed of a tangled cluster called a glomerulus which filters fluid
Pathway = glomerulus -> proximal tubulue --> nephron loop (also called loop of henle) --> distal tubule --> collecting duct --> ureter --> bladder

Urine Formation ●glomerular filtration - urine formation begins,
plasma is filtered●tubular reabsorption - returns most of the fluid to
the body●tubular secretion - removes what is not needed;
produces urine

When Kidneys Fail....
Dialysis may be used to clean the blood(hemodialysis)
4 hours, 3 times a week
Patients will eventually need a new kidney
