Excretory System
How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis?
–It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite concentrations

Removal of Metabolic Waste
The Kidney’s play a crucial role in removing waste, balancing blood pH, and maintaining water balance.
The Liver transforms ingested toxins and hazardous products of protein breakdown into compounds that can be eliminated by the kidneys.
The Lungs remove carbon dioxide.

ORGANS OF EXCRETION
Skin and associated glands: Removes heat and salts
Lungs: Removes carbon dioxide

Males vs. Females
Male’s urethra= sperm and urine
Female’s urethra= urine and reproductive tract are separate.

PARTS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM
Kidneys: filter blood to produce urine.
Ureters: carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
![Page 9: EXCRETORY SYSTEM. Excretory System How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis? –It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee55503460f94bf4322/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PARTS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM
Urinary Bladder: stores urine.
Urethra: carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

IMPORTANT BLOOD VESSELS
Renal Artery: carries contaminated blood into the kidney.
Renal Vein: carries purified blood from the kidney and returns it back into circulation by way of the inferior vena cava.

KIDNEY PARTS
Cortex: the outer part
Medulla: the middle part
Pelvis: the inner cavity where urine collects

MAJOR FUNCTIONSOF KIDNEYS
1. Filters blood of: Urea – formed in the liver from the
breakdown of ammonia Creatinine – formed in the muscles Uric Acid – formed as a result of the
breakdown of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
![Page 14: EXCRETORY SYSTEM. Excretory System How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis? –It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee55503460f94bf4322/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. Controls the balance of water in our bodies3. Regulates pH of the blood4. Regulates the concentration of dissolved ions in the blood

5. Secretes a hormone that causes a production of red blood cells
6. Activates Vitamin D production in the skin

NEPHRONS
Tiny filtering units called nephrons fill the cortex and medulla of the kidney.
Each kidney contains 1 to 1.25 million nephrons.
![Page 17: EXCRETORY SYSTEM. Excretory System How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis? –It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee55503460f94bf4322/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Each nephron is composed of 5 main parts:
Bowman’s capsule, proximal tubule,loop of Henle,distal tubule & collecting duct
![Page 18: EXCRETORY SYSTEM. Excretory System How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis? –It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee55503460f94bf4322/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

How urine is made
Filtration– Glomerulus to Bowman’s Capsule
– Small substances pass (ions, water, glucose, amino acids) through diffusion
– Large substances can’t pass (proteins, blood cells)
![Page 21: EXCRETORY SYSTEM. Excretory System How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis? –It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee55503460f94bf4322/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Reabsorption– Reabsorption from tubules through capillaries– Salts, water, nutrients– Left over filtrate is urine.
Elimination– The fluid than enters the collecting duct as urine. It
passes through the pelvis into the ureter. – Most of the water, ions and useful nutrients (glucose,
amino acids) have been reabsorbed.

Secretion– To maintain pH,
– H+, potassium, ammonium ions secreted into tubule

Hormones of Kidney
Vassopressin (antidiuretic hormone - ADH)
– Controls volume of urine
– Reabsorbs water from collecting duct
– Concentrates urine if dehydrated
Aldosterone
– Reabsorbs sodium and water
– increases blood pressure and volume
![Page 24: EXCRETORY SYSTEM. Excretory System How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis? –It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee55503460f94bf4322/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Control of Water Balance
When water levels are too low:
1) The hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete a hormone called anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). ADH travels through blood to kidneys.
![Page 25: EXCRETORY SYSTEM. Excretory System How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis? –It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee55503460f94bf4322/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2) ADH increases the permeability of the tubules and collecting ducts
3) More water is reabsorbed into the blood so the urine is more concentrated
Control of Water Balance
![Page 26: EXCRETORY SYSTEM. Excretory System How does the excretory system maintain homeostasis? –It regulates heat, water, salt, acid-base concentrations and metabolite.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ee55503460f94bf4322/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
When water levels are too high:
1)Hypothalamus doesn’t stimulate ADH secretion
2)Little water is reabsorbed into the blood so the urine is more dilute.

200mL: stretches slightly and signals to the brain.
400mL: almost full and stretch receptors send a more urgent message.
600mL: voluntary control is lost.
