The Urinary System
![Page 3: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Bladder Schistosomes
Normally, urine is sterile. Presence of blood may indicate an infection.

17.1 Introduction
-Cells produce waste that can become toxic if they accumulate
Functions•the urinary system removes salts
and nitrogenous wastes•maintains normal concentration of
water and electrolytes•maintains pH, controls red blood
cell production and blood pressure
![Page 5: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Composition•consists of a pair of kidneys which remove
substances from the blood•ureters which transport urine from the kidneys
to the bladder•urinary bladder stores urine•urethra conveys urine to the outside of the
body

17.2 Kidneys•lie on either side of the
vertebral column deep in the abdominal cavity
•positioned behind the parietal peritoneum (retroperitoneally)
•lateral side is convex, medial is concave, kidneys sit in a depression called the renal sinus
•Entrance is called the HILUM

-superior end of the kidney forms a funnel shaped sac - renal pelvis-renal medulla = center of the kidney-renal cortex = outer shell around the medulla; the cortex appears granulated due to the presence of nephrons-renal arteries and veins supply blood to the kidneys
The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney

Renal Arteries & Veins
•Arteries attach to the abdominal aorta•Veins attach to the inferior vena cava
Interlobar arteries pass between the renal pyramidsAfferent arterioles lead to the nephrons

NEPHRONS - functional unit of the urinary systemQuick Analogy: A nephron is to the urinary system as the _________________ is to the nervous system
-each kidney contains about 1 million nephrons-renal corpuscle: composed of a tangled cluster called a glomerulus which filters fluid
Pathway = glomerulus -> proximal tubulue --> nephron loop (also called loop of henle) --> distal tubule --> collecting duct --> ureter --> bladder

What blood vessel enters the glomerulus?

17.3 Urine Formation (section is abbreviated)
•glomerular filtration - urine formation begins, plasma is filtered
•tubular reabsorption - returns most of the fluid to the body
•tubular secretion - removes what is not needed; produces urine
![Page 21: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Urine Composition
95 % Water
Contains urea and uric acid (characteristic smell)
Can contain trace amino acids
![Page 22: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Urine may also contain other chemicals that can be detected.
Hormones present in a pregnant woman are detectable in urine
![Page 23: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Kidney function: Abnormal constituents
• Albumin—problems with filtration membranes or excessive blood pressure
• Glucose—glucosuria is an indication of diabetes mellitus or occasionally stress
• RBCs—hematuria indicates inflammation in urinary system, kidney stone, tumors, kidney disease
• Ketone bodies—diabetes mellitis, anorexia, high protein diet, starvation
• Microbes—common infections include those caused by E. coli, common yeast is Candidas albicans, and most frequent protozoan is Trichimonas vaginalis
![Page 24: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
17.4 Urine Elimination•After urine forms in the nephrons,the ureters
(starting with the renal pelvis) carry the urine away to the bladder
•Bladder is an expandable structure that stores urine before it is eliminated from the body.
•Transitional epithelial cells change shape to allow for expansion and contraction.
Micturation = urination; as the bladder fills this reflex occurs though it is also under voluntary control
Urethra = tube carries urine to the outside of the body
![Page 25: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Bladder
• Bladder capacity is 700-800mL• Hollow distensible organ that is
collapsed when empty and spherical when full.
• Discharge of urine is micturition.
– When volume reaches 200-400
mL stretch receptors send a signal
to the micturition center in sacral
spinal cord.– Micturition reflex is triggered – Learned control of external
urethral sphincter muscle and other muscles of the pelvic floor allow for voluntary control
![Page 26: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Disorders of the Urinary System
Many urinary problems can be solved by drinking enough water. So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.

Kidney Stones
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a procedure used to shatter simple stones in the kidney or upper urinary tract. Ultrasonic waves are passed through the body until they strike the dense stones, and make them smaller
![Page 28: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cystitis = bacteria enters the bladder or kidneys (kidney infection); more common in women because the urethra is shorter
Commonly known as a "bladder infection" UTI = urinary tract infection
Frequent need to urinatePain in the abdomen Burning sensation during urinationCloudy, bad-smelling urineBlood in the urineLeaking urineLow back pain Fever and chillsNausea and poor appetite
![Page 29: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Catheters In medicine, a catheter is a tube that can be inserted into a body cavity, duct, or vessel. The process of inserting a catheter is catheterization.
Catheterization of the bladder is a common medical procedure, often performed by nurses

Overactive Bladder = sudden contractions of the bladder produce sensation of urgency, also more common in womenIncontinence - inability to control urination (or defecation)
![Page 32: The Urinary System. Quick Overview of the Urinary System.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051620/56649e955503460f94b99683/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
When Kidneys Fail....
Dialysis may be used to clean the blood(hemodialysis)
4 hours, 3 times a week
Patients will eventually need a new kidney
