Urinary System
  1. Structures and Functions
    1. 2 Kidneys
      1. Regulate blood volume and compisition, help regulate blood pressure, synthesise glucose, release erythropoieten, participate in vitamin D synthesis and excrete waste in urine.
      2. 2 Ureters
        1. Transport urine from kidneys to urinary badder
        2. Urinary bladder
          1. Stores bladder
          2. Urethra
            1. Discharges urine from the body
            2. FUNCTION: to filter blood passing through kidneys to produce urine. Also regulates volume and composition of body fluids.
            3. Macrastructure of the kidney
              1. Lies between level of last thoracic and third lumbar verebrae on posterior abdominal wall. Bean shaped organ.
                1. 3 areas: fibrous capsule > cortex - reddish brown layer below capsule. > Medulla - innermost, consists of pale conial shaped striations called pyramids.
                  1. Functional units of kidney are nephrons. Consists of 2 parts: > Renal corpsucle: glomerulus and bowmans capsuale, > Renal tubule: .proximal convoluted tubule .loop of henle . distal convoluted tubule
                  2. Process of urine function
                    1. FILTRATION: > Water and solutes move from blood into capsule then tubule to form filtrate. SELECTIVE REABSORBTION: > Filtrate constituents required to maintain body's fluid and electrolyte balance are reabsorbed. SECRETION: > Transfer of substances from blood into tubular fluid.
                    2. Normal / abnormal contstituents of urine
                      1. Transportation, storage, and elimination of urine
