• Superficial outer cortex and inner medulla– The medulla consists of 6-18 renal pyramids– The cortex is composed of roughly 1.25 million
nephrons
• Major and minor calyces along with the pelvis drain urine to the ureters

• Cortical nephrons– ~85% of all nephrons– Located in the cortex
• Juxtamedullary nephrons– Closer to renal medulla– Loops of Henle extend deep into renal pyramids
Two types of nephron

• Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)– Actively reabsorbs nutrients, plasma proteins
and ions from filtrate– Released into peritubular fluid
• Loop of Henle– Descending limb– Ascending limb– Each limb has a thick and thin section

• Regulating blood volume and composition
• Excreting waste products– Urea– Creatinine– Uric acid
Urine production maintains homeostasis
![Page 21: Functions of the urinary system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813b77550346895da48bf9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Filtration– Blood pressure – Water and solutes across glomerular capillaries
• Reabsorption– The removal of water and solutes from the
filtrate
• Secretion– Transport of solutes from the peritubular fluid
into the tubular fluid
Basic processes of urine formation
![Page 22: Functions of the urinary system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813b77550346895da48bf9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Filtration in the kidneys modified by carrier mediated transport– Facilitated diffusion– Active transport– Cotransport– Countertransport
• Carrier proteins have a transport maximum (Tm)
– Determines renal threshold
Carrier Mediated Transport
![Page 23: Functions of the urinary system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813b77550346895da48bf9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Accomplished via diffusion, osmosis, and carrier-mediated transport
• Tm determines renal threshold for reabsorption of substances in tubular fluid
Reabsorption and secretion

• Amount of filtrate produced in the kidneys each minute
• Factors that alter filtration pressure change GFR
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
![Page 28: Functions of the urinary system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813b77550346895da48bf9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• A drop in filtration pressure stimulates Juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA)– Releases renin and erythropoietin
Factors controlling the GFR
![Page 29: Functions of the urinary system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813b77550346895da48bf9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

• Produces powerful vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles– Decreases GFR and slows production of filtrate
• Changes the regional pattern of blood flow– Alters GFR
• Stimulates release of renin by JGA
Sympathetic activation
![Page 32: Functions of the urinary system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813b77550346895da48bf9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Glomerular filtration produces fluid similar to plasma without proteins
• The PCT reabsorbs 60-70% of the filtrate produced – Reabsorption of most organic nutrients– Active and passive reabsorption of sodium and
other ions– Reabsorption of water
• Secretion also occurs in the PCT

The loop of Henle and countercurrent multiplication
• Countercurrent multiplication – Between ascending and descending limbs of
loop– Creates osmotic gradient in medulla– Facilitates reabsorption of water and solutes
before the DCT – Permits passive reabsorption of water from
tubular fluid

• DCT performs final adjustment of urine– Active secretion or absorption
• Absorption – Tubular cells actively resorb Na+ and Cl-
– In exchange for potassium or hydrogen ions (secreted)

Reabsorption and secretion along the collecting system
• Water and solute loss is regulated by aldosterone and ADH
• Reabsorption– Sodium ion, bicarbonate, and urea are resorbed
• Secretion – pH is controlled by secretion of hydrogen or
bicarbonate ions
![Page 42: Functions of the urinary system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813b77550346895da48bf9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Control of urine volume and osmotic concentration
• Urine volume and osmotic concentration are regulated by controlling water reabsorption– Precise control allowed via facultative water
reabsorption
