ORGANS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM

Kidneys
Ureters
Urinary bladder
Urethra

ANATOMY

3
LOCATION OF THE KIDNEYS
•
•
•
•

Against the dorsal body wall
At the level of T12 to L3
The right kidney is slightly lower than the left
Attached to ureters, renal blood vessels, and
nerves at renal hilus
• Atop each kidney is an adrenal gland

ANATOMY

h_noveno@hotmail.com

4
COVERINGS OF THE KIDNEYS
• Renal capsule
– Surrounds each kidney

• Adipose capsule
– Surrounds the kidney
– Provides protection to the kidney
– Helps keep the kidney in its correct location

ANATOMY

h_noveno@hotmail.com

5
REGIONS OF THE KIDNEY
• Renal cortex – outer region
• Renal medulla – inside the cortex
• Renal pelvis – inner collecting tube

7
KIDNEY STRUCTURES
• Medullary pyramids – triangular regions of
tissue in the medulla
• Renal columns – extensions of cortex-like
material inward
• Calyces – cup-shaped structures that funnel
urine towards the renal pelvis

BLOOD FLOW IN THE KIDNEYS

ANATOMY

11
Stages of Urine Formation (Micturition)
[glomerular filtration rate = 125 ml/min]
1. Filtration: glomerulus
2. Reabsorption: tubules
– Proximal convoluted tubules
•

Major reabsorption of electrolytes
–

Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cl

– Loop of Henle
•

Major reabsorption site for Na

– Collecting tubule
•

H2O reabsorption

3. Secretion

NEPHRONS
• The structural and functional units of the
kidneys
• Responsible for forming urine
• Main structures of the nephrons
– Glomerulus
– Renal tubule

18
GLOMERULUS
• A specialized capillary bed
• Attached to arterioles on both sides
(maintains high pressure)
– Large afferent arteriole
– Narrow efferent arteriole

ANATOMY

19
RENAL TUBULE
•
•
•
•

Glomerular (Bowman’s) capsule
Proximal convoluted tubule
Loop of Henle
Distal convoluted tubule

21
TYPES OF NEPHRONS
• Cortical nephrons
– Located entirely in the cortex
– Includes most nephrons

• Juxtamedullary nephrons
– Found at the boundary of the cortex and medulla

23
PERITUBULAR CAPILLARIES
•
•
•
•
•

Arise from efferent arteriole of the glomerulus
Normal, low pressure capillaries
Attached to a venule
Cling close to the renal tubule
Reabsorb (reclaim) some substances from
collecting tubes

ANATOMY

h_noveno@hotmail.com

24
URETERS
• Slender tubes attaching the kidney to the
bladder
– Continuous with the renal pelvis
– Enter the posterior aspect of the bladder

• Runs behind the peritoneum
• Peristalsis aids gravity in urine transport

LINING OF THE URETER

ANATOMY

27
URINARY BLADDER
• Smooth, collapsible, muscular sac
• Temporarily stores urine
• Trigone – three openings
– Two from the ureters
– One to the urethrea

• Urinary Bladder Wall
–
–
–
–

ANATOMY

Three layers of smooth muscle (detrusor muscle)
Mucosa made of transitional epithelium
Walls are thick and folded in an empty bladder
Bladder can expand significantly without increasing
internal pressure

30
URETHRA
• Thin-walled tube that carries urine from the
bladder to the outside of the body by
peristalsis
• Release of urine is controlled by two
sphincters
– Internal urethral sphincter (involuntary)
– External urethral sphincter (voluntary)

ANATOMY

h_noveno@hotmail.com

31
URETHRA GENDER DIFFERENCES
• Length
– Females – 3–4 cm (1 inch)
– Males – 20 cm (8 inches)

• Location
– Females – along wall of the vagina
– Males – through the prostate and penis

• Function
– Females – only carries urine
– Males – carries urine and is a passageway for sperm
cells
ANATOMY

h_noveno@hotmail.com

32
DEVELOPMENTAL ASPECTS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM

• Functional kidneys are developed by the third
month
• Urinary system of a newborn
– Bladder is small
– Urine cannot be concentrated

• Control of the voluntary urethral sphincter
does not start until age 18 months
• Urinary infections are the only common
problems before old age
ANATOMY

h_noveno@hotmail.com

33
AGING AND THE URINARY SYSTEM
• There is a progressive decline in urinary
function
• The bladder shrinks with aging
• Urinary retention is common in males
