Urinary System
Functions:
1. Excretion: removal of waste products from body fluids
2. Elimination: discharge of waste products from body

Urinary System
Consists of the
• Kidneys: produce urine
• Ureters: pathway of urine
from kidneys to bladder
• Urinary bladder: muscular
sac for temporary storage of
urine
• Urethra: urine removal
pathway
3
Location of Kidneys
Located on either side of the vertebral column (T12-L3)
Superior surface is capped with the adrenal gland.
4
Protection of Kidneys
Renal capsule: inner layer of collagen
Adipose capsule: thick layer of adipose tissue
Renal Fascia: outermost layer of collagen

Kidney Structure
6
Kidney Structure
2 layers:
1.Cortex: superficial portion, contains nephrons
• Nephron: microscopic, tubular structures that beings
urine production
2. Medulla: consists of 6-18 renal pyramids
• Renal lobe: renal pyramid + renal cortex
• where urine is produced
• Renal Pelvis: large chamber which connects the renal lobes
to the ureter
7
Functions of the Kidneys
• Removal of metabolic wastes from the blood and excretion to
the outside of the body
• Regulation of blood pressure, calcium ion absorption, and the
volume, composition, and pH of the blood
8
Renal Blood Vessels

Renal Blood Vessels
10
Renal Blood Vessels
• Kidneys receive 20-25% of total cardiac output
•Receives blood from the renal artery  segmental arteries 
interlobar arteries  arcuate arteries  interlobular arteries
 afferent arterioles  deliver blood to nephrons 
interlobular veins  arcuate veins  interlobar veins  renal
vein
11
Structure of a Nephron
12
Structure of a Nephron
•Renal tubule: long pathway that starts at the renal corpuscle
•Renal corpuscle: contains a glomerulus, where the capillaries
are found, where filtration takes place
13
Pathway of filtration of a
Nephron
•Blood filters into the afferent arteriole  Renal corpuscle
(Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule)  Proximal convoluted
tubule (where reabsorption of water, ions, organic nutrients)
 down Renal tubule  Loop of Henle ( further reabsorption
 of water)  up Renal tubule  Distal convoluted tubule
 (secretion of acids, drugs, toxins)  collecting duct 
Papillary duct (all excess waste—urine– to minor calyx 
major calyx  ureter

Juxtaglomerular Apparatus
17
Cortical and Juxtamedullary Nephrons
• cortical nephrons
• 80% of nephrons
• located close to the surface
of the kidney
• juxtamedullary nephrons
• regulate water balance
• located near the renal
medulla
18
Urine Formation
• nephrons remove wastes from the blood and
regulate water and electrolyte concentrations
• urine is the final product of the processes of:
• glomerular filtration
• tubular reabsorption
• tubular secretion
19
Urine Formation
• Glomerular Filtration
• substances move from blood to glomerular capsule
• Tubular Reabsorption
• substances move from renal tubules into blood of
peritubular capillaries
• glucose, water, urea, proteins, creatine
• amino, lactic, citric, and uric acids
• phosphate, sulfate, calcium, potassium, and sodium ions
• Tubular Secretion
• substances move from blood of peritubular capillaries into renal
tubules
• drugs and ions
20
Urine Composition
• about 95% water
• usually contains urea, uric acid, and creatinine
• may contain trace amounts of amino acids and
varying amounts of electrolytes
• volume varies with fluid intake and environmental
factors
21
Ureters
•Leave the kidneys
•25-30 cm long
•parallel to vertebral column
• in pelvic cavity, join
urinary bladder
22
Urinary Bladder
• hollow, muscular organ located within the pelvic cavity,
posterior to the Symphysis pubis
•Can hold up to a liter of urine (rugae)
23
Urinary Bladder
• the internal floor of the bladder includes a triangular
area called the trigone
•Internal urethral sphincter: provide control over
bladder
24
Urethra
• tube that conveys urine from the urinary bladder to the
outside of the body
• Men: 18-20 cm
• Connects to the prostate/ejaculatory ducts
• Female: 3-5 cm
•External urethral sphincter
•UTI
•Incontinence
25
Life-Span Changes
• kidneys appear scarred and grainy
• kidney cells die
• by age 80, kidneys have lost a third of their mass
• kidney shrinkage due to loss of glomeruli
•harder for kidneys to clear certain substances
• bladder, ureters, and urethra lose elasticity
• bladder holds less urine

Short Answer
• What are some anatomical differences with
the male versus female urinary structures and
how do they affect the physiology?
31
Short Answer
• What are some anatomical differences with
the male versus female urethra and how do
they affect the physiology?
• Males have longer urethra = fewer UTI’s, less
urgency for urination
• Ejaculatory/prostate ducts connect to males
urethra = urethra doesn’t just carry urine
How do the following tests relate to a urinalysis?
Leukocytes
Nitrites
Protein
pH
Blood

Ketone
Bilirubin
Glucose

Meaning
33
Leukocytes
Only found in individuals who are fighting a bacterial/viral
infection
Nitrites
Only found in individuals with significant infections
Protein

pH
If increased ketone levels, there will be a more acidic
urine
Blood
Only present if trauma, UTI, or recent menstruation
Specific Gravity
Degree of concentration/dilution of urine (amount of
excess water)
Ketone
Positive with excessive lipid breakdown
Bilirubin
