Urinary System of Man


URINARY SYSTEM OF MAN:-
The part of urinary system of man consist of following organs.

1: KIDNEY:
Filter blood and removes waste in the form of urine.

2:URETER:
Transfer urine from urinary bladder.

3:URETHRA:
Passes out from urinary bladder to external environment.

4:URINARY BLADDER:
Stores urine until urine is out from body.

1:KIDNEYS:-
°Location:
Two kidneys are located above the waist on either sides of vertebral columns with posterior wall of abdomen.

°Protection:
Kidneys are covered by membraneous perifoneum.

°Morphology:
Kidneys are bean shaped organs. Its concave side there is depression called "Hilus"

°Anatomy:
"Internal structure of kidney"
The internal structure of kidney consist of following parts;

°Capsule:
Fibrous capsule, which protect kidney.

°Cortex:
Outer region of kidney,contain upper parts of nephron .Brownish region also.

°Medula:
Inner region of kidney contain lower parts . It is the central pale yellow region. Medullary pyramids are also present in medula.

°Pyramids:
These are the cone like structures present in Medula . Urine is dropped in pelvis from  conical part of pyramids.

NEPHRON:-

°Each nephron is the structure and functional unit of kidney.
°Each human kidney contains almost one million nephron.

FUNCTIONS :-

°Nephron filter blood and removes the wastes in the form of urine.

°Nephron performs both Osmoregulation as well as excretion.

" Nephron is a long convoluted tubule composed of following structures" 

  PARTS OF NEPHRON:-  
Two main parts of neuron are:-

Malphighian Body:-

a) Bowman's Capsule:-
Malphighian body is composed of double walled cup like structure called
" Bowman's Capsule "

b) Glomerules :-
Afferent and efferent vessels forms a tuft in bowman's capsule called
" Glomerules "

     Both the Glomerules and Bowman's together form Malphighian body.

.FUNCTION:-
It serves as filtration unit of the nephron.

RENAL TUBULES:-

°Proximal convulated tubule:-
The Bowman's Capsule gives out coiled tubule known as "Proximal convulated tubule".

° lOOP OF HENLE:-
Each nephron  makes a U-shaped structure called " loop of Henle".

° VASA RECTA:-
Peritubular capillaries of renal arteries and renal vein form a network called "Vasa recta" which runs straight parallel besides limbs of loop of henle.

° Distil convulated tubule:-
The ascending limb of the loop of Henle become larger in diameter in cortex and forms a coil called " Distil convulated tubule ".

° Collecting Duct:-
The distal end finally opens into collecting duct. The collecting duct receives urin from numbers of nephron and drain it into pelvis.
