Chapter 19: The Kidneys

Functions of the Kidneys

most important function is homeostatic regulation of water, ion content of blood (a.k.a. salt

and water balance of fluid and electrolyte balance)

kidneys maintain normal blood concentrations of ions, water by balancing intake with

excretion in urine, obeying principle of mass balance

6 general areas of kidney function:

1. Regulation of extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure

when ECF volume decreases, blood pressure decreases

if blood pressure falls too low, body cannot maintain adequate blood flow to brain,

other essential organs

kidneys work with cardiovascular system to ensure blood pressure, tissue perfusion

remain within acceptable range

2. Regulation of osmolarity

body integrates kidney function with behavioural drives (ex. thirst) to maintain blood

osmolarity at 290 mOsM

3. Maintenance of ion balance

kidneys keep concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium in normal range by

balancing intake, excretion

4. Homeostatic regulation of pH

if ECF too acidic, kidneys remove H+, conserve bicarbonate to act as buffer

if ECF too alkaline, kidneys remove bicarbonate, conserve H+

kidneys don’t correct pH disturbances as fast as lungs

5. Excretion of wastes

remove metabolic wastes (ex. creatinine from muscle metabolism, nitrogenous wastes

urea and uric acid), xenobiotics (foreign substances ex. drugs, environmental toxins)

metabolite urobilinogen gives urine yellow colour

also remove hormones from blood

6. Production of hormones

erythropoietin cytokine/hormone regulates rbc synthesis

renin enzyme regulates production of hormones involved in sodium balance, blood

pressure homeostasis

renal enzymes convert vitamin D3 into hormone that regulates calcium balance

Anatomy of the Urinary System

Urinary System: kidneys, accessory structures

Renal Physiology: study of kidney function

The Urinary System Consists of Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, and Urethra

urine production begins when water, solutes move from plasma into microscopic nephrons of

kidneys

nephrons modify fluid composition; modified fluid = urine

urine leaves kidney, passes into hollow tube (ureter)

2 ureter, 1 from each kidney to urinary bladder

bladder expands, fills with urine until micturition/urination reflex during which bladder

contracts, expels urine through urethra

urine sample from UTI patient contains many red, white blood cells not normally found in

urine

The Kidneys

lie on either side of spine at level of 11th, 12th ribs, just above waist

below diaphragm, outside abdominal cavity, sandwiched between membranous peritoneum

that lines abdomen, and bones and muscles of back

renal blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics, ureters emerge from concave surface

renal arteries branch off abdominal aorta, supply blood to kidneys

renal veins carry blood from kidneys to inferior vena cava

The Nephron Is the Functional Unit of the Kidney

interior of kidney arranged in 2 layers formed by arrangement of nephrons:

outer cortex: contains 80% of nephrons

inner medulla: contains 20% of nephrons (juxtamedullary nephrons)

nephron functional unit of kidney (smallest structure that can perform all functions of organ)

nephrons divided into sections associated with specialized blood vessels

Vascular Elements of the Kidney

blood enters kidney through renal artery, flows into smaller arteries, then arterioles in cortex

blood vessel arranged in portal system (2 capillary beds in series; 1 of 3 in body)

in renal portal system, blood flows from renal arteries into afferent arteriole, then into 1st

capillary bed (glomerulus), then into efferent arteriole, then into 2nd capillary bed

(peritubular capillaries) that surround nephron

peritubular capillaries converge to form venules, small veins, sending blood out of kidney

through renal vein

Vasa Recta: long peritubular capillaries that dip into medulla in juxtamedullary nephrons

function of renal portal system to filter fluid out of blood, into lumen of nephron at

glomerular capillaries, then reabsorb fluid from tubule lumen back into blood at peritubular

capillaries

Tubular Elements of the Kidney

kidney nephron consists of single layer of epithelia cells connected near apical surface which

is folded into microvilli

basal side of polarized epithelium rests of basement membrane/basal lamina

cell-cell junctions mostly tight, some have selective permeability for ions

nephron begins with hollow, ball-like Bowman’s capsule that surrounds glomerulus

endothelium of glomerulus fused to epithelium of Bowman’s capsule so fluid filtering out

of capillaries passes directly into lumen of nephron

Renal Corpuscle: combination of glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule

fluid flows from Bowman’s capsule into proximal tubule, then loop of Henle which dips

down toward medulla, then back up

loop of Henle divided into 2 limbs:

thin descending limb

ascending limb with thin and thick segments

fluid then passes into distal tubule, up to 8 of which drain into single larger tube called

collecting duct

Distal Nephron: distal tubule and its collecting duct together

collecting ducts pass from cortex through medulla, drain into renal pelvis

filtered, modified fluid (now urine) flows from renal pelvis into ureter

Juxtaglomerular Apparatus: final part of ascending limb of loop of Henle that passes between

afferent and efferent arterioles

proximity of ascending limb, arterioles allows paracrine communication between

them, key feature in kidney autoregulation

Overview of Kidney Function

>99% of fluid that enters nephrons must be reabsorbed back into blood or body will

dehydrate

Kidneys Filter, Reabsorb, and Secrete

3 basic processes in nephron:

1. Filtration: movement of fluid from blood into lumen of nephron

only takes place in renal corpuscle, where walls of glomerular capillaries, Bowman’s

capsule are modified to allow bulk flow of fluid

once filtered, filtrate passes into lumen of nephron, becomes part of body’s external

environment

anything that filters into nephron destined for excretion unless it’s reabsorbed into

body

after filtrate leaves Bowman’s capsule, it’s modified by reabsorption, secretion

2. Reabsorption: process of moving substances in filtrate from lumen of tubule back into

blood flowing through peritubular capillaries

3. Secretion: selectively removing molecules from blood, adding them to filtrate in tubule

lumen

more selective than filtration, uses membrane proteins to move molecules across

tubule epithelium

The Nephron Modifies Fluid Volume and Osmolarity

180L of fluid filtered into Bowman’s capsule/day identical in composition to plasma, nearly

isosmotic (~300 mOsM)

70% reabsorbed in proximal tubule, leaving 54L in lumen

reabsorption occurs when proximal tubule cells transport solutes out of lumen, water follows

by osmosis

filtrate leaving proximal tubule has same osmolarity as filtrate that entered

Document Summary

6 general areas of kidney function: regulation of extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure. When ecf volume decreases, blood pressure decreases. If blood pressure falls too low, body cannot maintain adequate blood flow to brain, other essential organs. Kidneys work with cardiovascular system to ensure blood pressure, tissue perfusion remain within acceptable range: regulation of osmolarity. Body integrates kidney function with behavioural drives (ex. thirst) to maintain blood osmolarity at 290 mosm: maintenance of ion balance. Kidneys keep concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium in normal range by balancing intake, excretion: homeostatic regulation of ph. If ecf too acidic, kidneys remove h+, conserve bicarbonate to act as buffer. If ecf too alkaline, kidneys remove bicarbonate, conserve h+ Kidneys don"t correct ph disturbances as fast as lungs: excretion of wastes. Remove metabolic wastes (ex. creatinine from muscle metabolism, nitrogenous wastes urea and uric acid), xenobiotics (foreign substances ex. drugs, environmental toxins) Also remove hormones from blood: production of hormones.
