The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter blood to produce urine, which passes through the ureters into the bladder. When the bladder fills with urine, the micturition reflex causes it to contract and expel urine through the urethra. Voluntary control of urination is learned in childhood and allows a person to override the reflex and urinate at convenient times rather than whenever the bladder fills. The kidneys also play roles in regulating fluid and electrolyte balance, blood pressure, and producing hormones like erythropoietin and renin.

The urinary system consists of The urine-forming organs the kidneys The structures that carry the urine from the kidneys to the outside for elimination from the body The Urinary System Consists of Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, and Urethra In the first step of urine production, water and solutes move from plasma into the hollow tubules (nephrons) that make up the bulk of the paired kidneys.These tubules modify the composition of the fluid as it passes through. The modified fluid leaves the kidney and passes into a hollow tube called a ureter.There are two ureters, one leading from each kidney to the urinary bladder. The bladder expands and fills with urine until, by reflex action, it contracts and expels urine through a single tube, the urethra. Silverthorn, 6ed GINJAL Sherwood 9th ed.

Renal veins carry blood from the kidneys to the inferior vena cava. Kidneys Filter, Reabsorb, and Secrete Filtration is the movement of fluid from blood into the lumen of the nephron. Reabsorption is the process of moving substances in the filtrate from the lumen of the tubule back into the blood flowing through peritubular capillaries. Secretion removes selected molecules from the blood and adds them to the filtrate in the tubule lumen Silverthorn 7ed. Silverthorn 7ed. Silverthorn 7ed. Sherwood 9th ed. Silverthorn 7ed.

This action contributes to homeostasis by helping maintain the optimal O2content of blood. More than 98% of O2in the blood is bound to hemoglobin within red blood cells. ■ They produce renin, the hormone that initiates the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone pathway for controlling renal tubular Na+ reabsorption, which is important in long-term maintenance of plasma volume and blood pressure. MICTURITION Micturition, or urination, The process of bladder emptying, is governed by two mechanisms: the micturition reflex and voluntary control. The micturition reflex Initiated when stretch receptors within the bladder wall are stimulated. The bladder in an adult can accommodate 250 to 400 mL of urine before the tension within its walls begins to rise sufficiently to activate the stretch receptors. This micturition reflex, which is entirely a spinal reflex, governs bladder emptying in infants. As soon as the bladder fills enough to trigger the reflex, the baby automatically wets. Sherwood 9th ed. Voluntary Control The perception of bladder fullness appears before the external sphincter reflexly relaxes, warning that micturition is imminent. As a result, voluntary control of micturition, learned during toilet training in early childhood, can override the micturition reflex so that bladder emptying can take place at your convenience rather than when bladder filling first activates the stretch receptors. Micturition can also be deliberately initiated, even though the bladder is not distended, by voluntarily relaxing the external sphincter and pelvic diaphragm. Lowering of the pelvic floor allows the bladder to drop downward, which simultaneously pulls open the internal urethral sphincter and stretches the bladder wall. The subsequent activation of the stretch receptors brings about bladder contraction by the micturition reflex. Pustaka Silverthorn 7th ed Sherwood 9th ed. Sekian
