Homeostasis Excretory system maintains homeostasis by balancing the amount of water, salt, and metabolite concentrations within the blood.
Not just the Kidney’s! Lungs: Remove CO 2 Skin: Removes heat Liver: Removes metabolic wastes and creates bile and urea Kidney: Removes metabolic wastes
Mammalian Kidney inferior vena cava aorta adrenal gland kidney ureter bladder urethra nephron renal vein & artery microvilli on epithelial cells

Mammalian System blood filtrate Filter solutes out of blood & reabsorb H 2 O + desirable solutes Key functions filtration fluids (water & solutes) filtered out of blood reabsorption selectively reabsorb (diffusion) needed water + solutes back to blood secretion pump out any other unwanted solutes to urine excretion expel concentrated urine (N waste + solutes + toxins) from body concentrated urine
Nephron § Functional units of kidney u 1 million nephrons per kidney § Function u u filter out urea & other solutes (salt, sugar…) blood plasma filtered into nephron § high pressure flow u selective reabsorption of valuable solutes & H 2 O back into bloodstream § greater flexibility & control why selective reabsorption & not selective filtration? “counter current exchange system”
How can different sections allow the diffusion of different molecules? Mammalian kidney Interaction of circulatory & excretory systems Circulatory system Bowman’s glomerulus = ball of capillaries capsule Proximal tubule Distal tubule Glomerulus Excretory system nephron Bowman’s capsule loop of Henle proximal tubule descending limb ascending limb distal tubule collecting duct Glucose Amino acids H 2 O Mg++ Ca++ H 2 O Na+ Cl- H 2 O Na+ Cl. H 2 O Loop of Henle Collecting duct
Nephron: Filtration At glomerulus filtered out of blood H 2 O & solutes H 2 O glucose salts / ions (Na+ / Cl–) urea not filtered out cells & large molecules cells proteins high blood pressure in kidneys force to push (filter) H 2 O & solutes out of blood vessel BIG problems when you start out with high blood pressure in system hypertension = kidney damage
Nephron: Re-absorption Proximal tubule reabsorbed back into blood Na. Cl active transport of Na+ Cl– follows by diffusion H 2 O glucose HCO 3 - bicarbonate buffer for blood p. H
Nephron: Re-absorption § Loop of Henle descending limb u reabsorbed § H 2 O u structure u § many aquaporins in cell membranes § high permeability to H 2 O § no Na+ or Cl– channels § impermeable to salt structure fits function!
Nephron: Re-absorption § Loop of Henle ascending limb u reabsorbed § Na+ & Cl– u structure u § many Na+ / Cl– channels in cell membranes § high permeability to Na+ & Cl– § no aquaporins § impermeable to H 2 O structure fits function!
Nephron: Re-absorption § Distal tubule u reabsorbed § salts § H 2 O § bicarbonate w HCO 3 w regulate blood p. H
Nephron: Reabsorption & Excretion § Collecting duct u reabsorbed § H 2 O = through aquaporins u excretion § concentrated urine § to bladder w impermeable lining = no channels in cell membranes
Osmotic control in nephron How is all this re-absorption achieved? tight osmotic control to reduce the energy cost of excretion use diffusion instead of active transport wherever possible the value of a counter current exchange system
why selective reabsorption & not selective filtration? Summary Not filtered out of blood cells u proteins remain in blood (too big) Reabsorbed back to blood: active transport Na+ u glucose u amino acids Reabsorbed back to blood: diffusion H 2 O u Cl– Excreted out of body urea excess H 2 O u excess solutes (glucose, salts) toxins, drugs, “unknowns”
