Study Notes

Urinary System

The urinary system consists of structures that produce and conduct urine to the point of excretion.

Kidneys

The kidneys typically extend from T12 to L3, with the right kidney situated slightly lower due to the presence of the liver.
Each kidney is about the length of three vertebrae.
The kidneys are enclosed by the fascia, also known as the Gerota's fascia or perirenal fascia.

Internal Kidney Structure

The kidneys have a unique internal structure.
The kidneys filter blood through the glomeruli.
Blood passes through the glomeruli, which are surrounded by the glomerular (Bowman) capsule.
A renal tubule is attached to each Bowman capsule.

Urine Formation

There are three steps in the formation of urine:
- Glomerular filtration
- Tubular reabsorption
- Tubular secretion

Nephron

The glomerulus and a renal tubule combine to form a unit called a nephron.
