Gross Anatomy of the Kidney
![Page 3: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Major Functions of the Kidneys
1. Regulation of HOMEOSTASIS: • body fluid osmolarity and volume• electrolyte balance• acid-base balance• blood pressure
2. EXCRETION of • metabolic products• toxic substances (drugs,pesticides, etc.)• excess substance (water, etc)
![Page 4: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
3. SECRETION of :
• Erythropoietin• 1,25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol
vitamin D3 (vitamin D activation)• Renin• prostaglandin

Physiological Anatomy of the Kidney
![Page 6: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Nephron
• The functional unit of the kidney
• Each kidney is made up of about 1 million nephrons
• Each nephron has two major components:
1. A glomerulus (a tuft of capillaries)2. A long tube (tubule)
![Page 7: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The juxtaglomerular apparatus
![Page 11: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Where the distal tubule lies against the afferent (sometimes efferent) arteriole
• Arteriole walls have juxtaglomerular (JG) cells– Enlarged, smooth muscle cells – Have secretory granules containing RENIN– Act as mechanoreceptors
![Page 12: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Macula densa– Tall, closely packed distal tubule cells – Lie adjacent to JG cells – Function as chemoreceptors or
osmoreceptors
• Mesanglial cells: – Have phagocytic and contractile properties– Influence capillary filtration
![Page 13: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Renin Angiotensin system
![Page 15: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Renal Tubule Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) • cuboidal cells with numerous microvilli and mitochondria
• Reabsorbs water and solutes from filtrate and secretes substances into it
• Loop of Henle – a hairpin-shaped loop of the renal tubule– Proximal part is similar to the proximal convoluted
tubule– followed by the thin segment (simple squamous cells)
and the thick segment (cuboidal to columnar cells)
![Page 16: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Distal convoluted tubule (DCT) • cuboidal cells without microvilli that
function more in secretion than reabsorption
Collecting Tubules• Two important cell types are found here
– Intercalated cells• Cuboidal cells with microvilli • Maintainin acid-base balance of the body
– Principal cells• Cuboidal cells without microvilli• maintain the body’s water and salt balance
![Page 18: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Types of nephrons
• Cortical nephrons – 85% of nephrons; located in the cortex
• Juxtamedullary nephrons:– Are located at the cortex-medulla junction– Have loops of Henle that deeply invade the
medulla – Have extensive thin segments– Are involved in the production of concentrated
urine
![Page 19: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

renal blood flow
![Page 21: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Characteristics of renal blood flow
high blood flow. • 1200 ml/min, or 21 percent of the cardiac
output. • 94% to the cortex Two capillary beds• High hydrostatic pressure in glomerular
capillary (about 60 mmHg) and low hydrostatic pressure in peritubular capillaries (about 13 mmHg)
![Page 22: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Capillary Beds
Vasa recta – long, straight efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary nephrons
![Page 23: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Functions of the Nephron
1. Filtration
1. Reabsorbtion
1. Secretion
1. Excretion
![Page 24: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Glomerular filtration
• First step in urine formation– Bulk transport of
fluid from blood to kidney tubule
• Isosmotic filtrate• Blood cells and
proteins don’t filter
– Result of hydrostatic pressure
– GFR = 180 L/day
![Page 25: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
filtration membrane
![Page 26: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
filtration membrane
• Filter that lies between the blood and the interior of the glomerular capsule
• It is composed of three layers– Fenestrated endothelium of the glomerular
capillaries– Visceral membrane of the glomerular capsule
(podocytes)– Basement membrane composed of fused
basal laminae of the other layers
![Page 27: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
filtration membrane
![Page 28: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
• Amount of filtrate produced in the kidneys each minute. 125mL/min = 180L/day
• Factors that alter filtration pressure change GFR. These include: – Increased renal blood flow -- Increased GFR– Decreased plasma protein -- Increased GFR.
Causes edema.– Hemorrhage -- Decreased capillary BP --
Decreased GFR
![Page 29: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Tubular Reabsorbtion
– Process of returning filtered material to bloodstream
– 99% of what is filtered– May involve transport protein(s)– Normally glucose is totally reabsorbed
![Page 30: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Tubular Secretion
– Material added to lumen of kidney from blood– Active transport (usually) of toxins and foreign
substances, drugs etc• Saccharine• Penicillin
![Page 31: Introduction to excretory system](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555d0fedd8b42ac4258b4728/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Mechanisms of Urine Formation
involves three major processes
1.Glomerular filtration2.Tubular
reabsorption3.Secretion
