I. COMPONENTS OF URINARY SYSTEM
Kidneys Bladder
Ureters Urethra
RENAL FUNCTIONS:
1. Acid-Base Balance
2. Excretion of metabolic wastes
3. Excretion of bioactive substances
4. Secretion of renin
5. Secretion of erythropoietin
6. Conversion of Vitamin D
7. Gluconeogenesis

I. KIDNEY
Components:
1.Cortex (outer)
- stains darker than medulla
2. Medulla (inner)
- contains 8-12 renal pyramids containing a
renal lobe
Renal Pyramids
- apical end contains renal papilla and minor calyx
that eventually become one of three major clayces

I. KIDNEY
Components:
1.Cortex (outer)
- stains darker than medulla
2. Medulla (inner)
- contains 8-12 renal pyramids containing a
renal lobe
3. Renal Hilum
- Where renal artery and vein are located
- The ureter exits the kidney from here
COLLEGE OF MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE – VALENZUELA CAMPUS / JOSHUA LUIGI D. RAMEL, RMT / jdramel@fatima.edu.ph
II. RENAL
VASCULATURE
1. Renal Artery
- Largest
- Divides into 2 segmental arteries at hilum
2. Interlobar Arteries
- Branch from segmental arteries
- Extend between renal pyramids towards
corticomedullary junction
COLLEGE OF MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE – VALENZUELA CAMPUS / JOSHUA LUIGI D. RAMEL, RMT / jdramel@fatima.edu.ph
II. RENAL
VASCULATURE
3. Arcurate Arteries
- Branches from interlobar arteries
4. Interlobular Arteries
- Branches from arcurate arteries
- Extend all the way to renal cortex
In the cortex afferent arterioles enter capillary
clusters called glomeruli
- Where blood is filtered in the kidney
- drained by efferent arterioles
Efferent arterioles
- branch into peritubular capillaries

Functional units of the kidney
* 1- 4 million
1. Renal Corpuscle
2. Proximal Tubule
3. Loop of Henle
4. Distal Tubule
5. Connecting Tubule
- links nephron to collecting ducts

VI. URINARY TRACT
Principal Cells
> pale staining
> few mitochondria
> contain cell membranes rich in aquaporins
- for passive water reabsorption
COLLEGE OF MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE – VALENZUELA CAMPUS / JOSHUA LUIGI D. RAMEL, RMT / jdramel@fatima.edu.ph
VII. UROTHELIUM
- Contain Large Bulbous superficial cells called
umbrella cells that contain uroplakin
> protect cytoplasm

VIII. URINARY BLADDER
- Where urine temporarily is stored
- Contains folded mucosa which unfold
as bladder fills.
- Transitional epithelium gets thinner as
bladder fills.
COLLEGE OF MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE – VALENZUELA CAMPUS / JOSHUA LUIGI D. RAMEL, RMT / jdramel@fatima.edu.ph
IX. URETHRA
- Drains the bladder
- Lined initially by urothelium
- For Males:
> Urothelium is followed by stratified and pseuostratified
columnar epithelium
> Last portions of male urethra is stratified squamous
epithelium
