URINAL Flashcards
Major role of urinary system
maintain homeostasis by maintaining body fluid composition and volume
Upper Urinary Tract
Kidney
Ureters
Lower urinary tract
- Urinary Bladder
-Urethra
-Pelvic Floor
Kidney receives how many ml of blood per minute?
1200ml
How many cardiac output received by the kidney
20-25%
blood passes within an hour in kidney
72hrs
Functions of kidney
- Excretes wastes products of protein metabolism
- Maintain acid base balance
- Maintain fluid and electrolyte balance
- Produce enzyme and hormones
excreted via urine
Blood urea nitrogen
as the end product of protein metabolism)
Urea
3 steps in urine formation:
Glomerular Filtration
tubular reabsorption
Tubular secretion
3 steps in urine formation:
- Glomerular filtration
- Tubular reabsorption
- Tubular secretion
move from the blood to the glomerular capsule
Water and solutes
The fluid that enters the capsule
Glomerular filtrate
glomerular filtration rate
(GFR)
125ml/min
• Urine is formed in minute, hour, day
0.5-1ml
60ml
1500ml
It is the movement of substances from the filtrate in the kidney tubules into the blood in the peritubular capillaries
Tubular reabsorption
How manu tubules in filtrate to become urine
1%
useful to the body are reabsorbed
Water and other substances
is reabsorbed by osmosis,
Water
reabsorbed by active transport
Most solutes
It is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water potential (low solute
concentration) to an area of low water potential (high solute concentration).
Osmosis
(low solute
concentration)
High water potential
(high solute concentration).
Lower water potential
it is the transport of substances from the blood into the renal tubules.
Tubular secretion
primarily eliminated from the body.
Potassium and hydrogen
likewise eliminated
Ammonia, uric acid, some drug metabolites
This is done by the kidneys together with the lungs
Maintain acid base balance
Steps of respiratory acidosis
Ventilation
Hypoventilation
Excretion of CO2 down
Retention of CO2 up
H2CO3 (Carbonic Acid) up
Respiratory Acidosis
Steps on respiratory alkalosis
Ventilation
Hyperventilation
• Excretion of CO2 up
• Retention of CO2 down
• H2C03 (Carbonic Acid) down
Respiratory Alkalosis
controls the level of HCO3 (Bicarbonate) as a base
Kidney
Increase in acid, —— is reabsorbed/regenerate
Hco3
Acid deficit - excrete HCO3, hydrogen ion is
Retained
