The Urinary System

The Urinary system

• Paired Kidney

• A ureter for each kidney

• Urinary bladder

• Urethra

Kidney function

• Removes toxic by products of metabolism

• Regulate blood pressure, hemodinamic and acid base balance

• Endocrine function, release:

– Renin

– Erythropoietin

Kidney

Overview of Kidney’s microsopic Structure

Kidney has two region:

• Cortex – Superficial layer of the kidney

• Medulla – Contains 6 to 12 pyramid - shaped, pale striated

regions, the renal pyramids, separated by renal columns (of Bertin)

– Base of each pyramid is oriented toward cortex

– Renal papilla, apex of the pyramid, points toward the hilum

Anatomy of kidney

Anatomy of kidney

• Three type substances in the cortex

– Renal corpuscle

– Cortical labyrinth:

• the convoluted tubulus

– Medullary rays:

• straight portion of proximal and distal tubule, collecting duct

cortex

• Renal lobe

– A single pyramid with its overlying cortex and cortical columns

• Renal lobule

– Medullary ray with part of the cortical labyrinth surrounding it

The Nephron – 2 parts

• Renal corpuscle – filters blood plasma

– Glomerulus – capillary network

– Glomerular (Bowman’s) capsule – double-walled cup

surrounding glomerulus

• Renal tubule – filtered fluid passes into

– Proximal convoluted tubule (TCP)

– Loop of Henle (nephron loop)

– Distal convoluted tubule (TCD)

– Renal corpuscle and both convoluted tubules in cortex, loop of

Henle extend into medulla

– Distal convoluted tubule of several nephrons empty into single

collecting duct

The structure of nephrons and associated blood vessels

Renal Corpuscle • is composed of Glomerulus: supplied by afferent

arteriole and drain by efferent arteriole

• Bowman’s capsul:

– Viceral layer

– Parietal layer

Bowmann’s space: the space inside Bowmann’s capsule

Vascular pole: the region where the vessels enter and exit Bowmann’s capsule

Urinary pole: the region of continuation between the renal corpuscle and the proximal tubule

Renal corpuscle general view

Visceral layer of Bowmann’s capsule

• Epithelial cells of visceral layer are modified to podocytes

• Podocytes have numerous cytoplasmic extension: primary processes

• Each primary process bears many secondary process, known as pedicel

• Pedicel completely envelop the glomerular capillaries by interdigitating with pedicels from neighboring podocytes

• The openings between the pedicels are called filtration slits

Tubular section

• Tubular section

(processes the filtrate)

– Proximal convoluted tubule (TCP)

– Loop of Henle

– Distal convoluted tubule (TCD)

(ends by joining collecting duct)

Proximal convoluted duct

• Confined to renal cortex

• Resorption of water, ions and solutes

Loop of Henle

• Descending limb ( pars recta)

• Thin segment

• Thick ascending limb

Distal convoluted tubule

• Confined to the renal cortex

• Begins near the vascular pole

• terminate by becoming continuous with arched collecting tubule

• Macula densa, a specialized group of cells on the side of tubule adjacent to the vascular pole

• Selective secretion and resorption of ions

Collecting duct

• Each receives urine from several nephrons

• Run straight through cortex into the deep medulla

• At papilla of pyramid* ducts join to form larger papillary ducts

• The papillary ducts minor calices

Collecting duct

Juxtaglomerular Apparatus

three component:

• Macula densa of the distal tubule

• Juxtaglomerular cells of the afferent glomerular arteriole

• Extraglomerular mesangial cells, between the afferent and efferent arterioles

Function • Regulation of blood pressure • Granule (jg cells) – modified muscle cells secreting

renin. • Macula densa – chemoreceptors which detect a low

sodium concentration in the ultrafiltraate.

The BLOOD VESSELS

Aorta gives off right and left renal arteries

Renal arteries divides into 5 segmental arteries as enters hilus of kidney

Segmentals branch into lobar arteries Lobars divide into interlobars Interlobars into arcuate in junction of medulla and cortex Arcuates send interlobular arteries into cortex Cortical radiate arteries give rise to glomerular arterioles

The Renal Pelvis and Ureter Cont. from calyces The walls consist of three coats:

• Inner mucosa : transitional epithelium

• Middle muscular: – Inner longitudinal – Outer circular layer – Lower part of the ureter, a

discontinuous outer longitudinal layer

• Outer fibrous: loose connective tissue

Seminal vesicles Prostate gland Bulbourethral glands Glands of Littre

Prostate gland

– collection of 30-50 branched

tubuloalveolar glands excretory

ducts prostatic urethra

– Corpora amylacea are prostatic

concretions, composed of

glycoprotein, which may become

calcified; their numbers increase

with age

– The prostatic secretion serves to

liquefy the coagulated semen after

it is deposited in the female genital

tract.

– Its synthesis and release are

regulated by dihydrotestosterone.


Bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s gland)

– Are small 3 to 5 mm in diameter

– Is tubuloalveolar glands, lined by simple cuboidal epithelium

– The secretion product is a thick, slippery fluid containing galactose and sialic acid that plays a role in lubricating the lumen of the urethra

Glands of Littre

– found throughout the length of the penile urethra

by a thinner connective tissue sheath. • Its expanded distal tip is the glans penis. • The corpus spongiosum is penetrated along its

length by cavernous (penile) urethra. • The tip of the glans penis is pierced by the end of

the urethra.

• Functions :

– Exocrine : gemetogenesis

– Endocrine (steroidogenesis) :

underlying germinal epithelium

TUNICA ALBUGINEA

GERMINAL EPITHELIUM

CORTEX

- surrounds the medulla and

contains maturing follicles

MEDULLA

- central connective tissue

Ovary

Ovary Histology

– The germinal epithelium

– Tunica albuginea :

dense connective tissue

– Connective tissue stroma

that houses ovarian

follicles in various stages

of development and

stromal cells

(= interstitial cells).

The ovarian cortex is consisted of :

Ovarian Follicles

• Evolve through four developmental stages : primordial, primary, secondary, and graafian

• Surrounded by stromal tissue and consist of

– Primary oocyte

– Follicular cells ( granulosa cells), arranged in a single or several layer around primary oocyte

follicular development based on growth of the follicle :

– Non growing, or primordial follicles

– Growing follicles :

• Unilaminar and multilaminar primary follicles : – the zona pellucida appears, separating the oocyte

from follicular cells.

– Stromal cells surrounding follicles theca folliculi

• Secondary (antral) follicles : fluid filled cavities appear among granulosa cells, cumulus oophorus which projects into the antrum corona radiata

• Graafian (mature) follicles : Extends through the entire cortex and Oocyte is displaced to one side of the follicle

Primary follicle

Growing follicles

Secondary (vesicular) follicle

1. antrum

a. liquor folliculi

2. cumulus oophorus

3. oocyte at maximal diameter

4. 1st meiotic division: secondary oocyte & 1st polar body (not visible)

Growing follicles

• Graafian Follicle

– Mature follicle, diameter 2.5 cm

– Extends through the entire cortex and causes a bulge on the outside of the ovary

– Antrum size increase greatly

Growing follicles

Follicular Atresia

• Degeneration of follicle that can occur at any stage

• Phagocytes take up dead oocyte fragments

• Common just after birth (loss of maternal hormones), puberty and pregnancy

• Apoptotic cell death, autolysis

• Follicle cells replaced by stromal cells

Corpus Luteum (Yellow body)

• Collapsed follicle undergoes reorganization

• Bleeding from the theca interna into follicular lumen

• CT from stroma invades follicular cavity

• Granulosa lutein cells: formed from granulosa cells

• Corpus luteum of menstruation :

– if fertilization does not occur, the CL of menstruation forms and degenerates after approximately 14 days

• Corpus luteum gravidarum.

– If pregnancy occurs, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) maintains the CL for 3 months

Corpus luteum – granulosa lutein cells

Corpus albicans.

Is dense CT scar, which replaces a degenerated CL

Large ones form after pregnancy and smaller ones after each ovulation

Older ovaries have many
