Controlled by ADH, renin, aldosterone, angiotensin I and Metabolic wastes and excess ions are filtered out of the angiotensin II. blood, along with water, and leave the body in the form of Most important function of the renal system = maintain blood urine. volume, BP, and blood osmolarity (ion conc.) Retroperitoneal area = contains kidneys + adrenal glands, pancreas, nerve roots, lymph nodes, abdominal aorta, and inferior vena cava. ○ Left kidney is higher; Right kidney is lower due to presence of liver on the right side ○ Costovertebral angle Kidneys filter about 45 gallons (170.3 L) of fluid each day IAAP (In assessing the kidneys) ○ No bruits ○ (+) bruits = fistula The respiratory and cardiovascular systems have certain functions that overlap with renal system functions. A complex network of hormones controls the renal system to maintain homeostasis. FUNCTION OF THE RENAL SYSTEM A WET BED ACID BASE BALANCE Excreting excess hydrogen ions (H⁺) to reduce acidity. Reabsorbing bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻), a key buffer that neutralizes acids. Producing new bicarbonate when needed, helping to keep blood pH within a healthy range. WATER BALANCE Regulates body fluid Regulates water removal by filtering blood in the kidneys Reabsorbing water through the renal tubules influenced by hormones like ADH and aldosterone and excreting excess water in the urine. ERYTHROPOIESIS Kidney produces erythropoietin (hormone) = stimulates RBC @ bone marrow ○ essential for transport of O2 throughout the PARTS OF THE RENAL SYSTEM tissues and organs. KIDNEYS Most complex and critical part of the urinary system TOXIN REMOVAL Function: maintain a stable internal environment Filters metabolic wastes from the bloodstream and (homeostasis) for optimal cell and tissue metabolism. eliminates them as urine. ○ Maintain normal comp. & volume of urine Urea (95% H2O & 5% solutes) ○ Countercurrent exchange system ⬇️ BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL If BP = RAAS will activate Have an extensive blood supply from the renal arteries that Renal system alters water retention = influencing thirst leave the kidneys via renal vein.

Made up of capsule capillaries (glomerulus) and a small renal tube. ○ The renal tube of the nephron consists of a network of tubules and loops that are selectively permeable to water and ions. URETER Urine passes from the renal tube through tubes called ureters and into the bladder. Bilateral tubes that transport urine from the kidney to the bladder. BLADDER Flexible Used as storage until the urine is allowed to pass through the urethra and out of the body. Size varies with amount of urine Stores urine until micturition. URETHRA The female and male renal system are very similar, differing only in the length of the urethra. Channels urine outside of the body.
