THE URINARY SYSTEMTHE URINARY SYSTEM
FUNCTIONS OF THE URINARY FUNCTIONS OF THE URINARY SYSTEMSYSTEM
• Balances water, salts, and acids by Balances water, salts, and acids by removing excess fluids or reabsorbing removing excess fluids or reabsorbing water as neededwater as needed
• Filters the blood to remove urea (major Filters the blood to remove urea (major waste product of protein metabolism) waste product of protein metabolism) and other waste materials and other waste materials
• Converts waste products and excess Converts waste products and excess fluids into urine in the kidneys and fluids into urine in the kidneys and excretes them from the body thru the excretes them from the body thru the urinary bladderurinary bladder
**all functions required to maintain homeostasis in body

reabsorption, and secretionreabsorption, and secretion• Glomerulus: cluster of capillaries Glomerulus: cluster of capillaries
surrounded by a membrane called the surrounded by a membrane called the Bowman’s CapsuleBowman’s Capsule
• Blood flows into kidney via the renal Blood flows into kidney via the renal artery, waste is filtered in the capillaries artery, waste is filtered in the capillaries of the glomerulus (urine), then blood of the glomerulus (urine), then blood leaves the kidney through the renal veinleaves the kidney through the renal vein
• Waste products are transported to the Waste products are transported to the renal pelvis before entering the uretersrenal pelvis before entering the ureters

THE EXCRETION OF URINETHE EXCRETION OF URINE
• Micturition Micturition (voiding)(voiding)– Requires coordinated Requires coordinated
contraction of the contraction of the bladder muscles and bladder muscles and relaxation of the relaxation of the sphincters, forcing the sphincters, forcing the urine through the urine through the urethra and out urethra and out through the urinary through the urinary meatusmeatus
