Overview of the Urinary System Anatomy of the Kidneys Overview of Renal Physiology Renal Physiology I: Glomerular Filtration Renal Physiology II: Tubular Reabsorption and Secretion Renal Physiology III: Regulation of Urine Concentration and Volume Putting It All Together: The Big Picture of Renal Physiology Urine and Renal Clearance Urine Transport, Storage, and Elimination 976 Animals living in an aquatic environment face little risk of becoming dehy-drated. However, animals that started to spend more time on dry land millions of years ago needed mechanisms to conserve water and prevent dehydration. The organ System that performs this function in humans the Urinary System is the topic of this chapter. The organs of the Urinary System are organs of excretion they remove wastes and water from the body. Specifically, the Urinary System cleans the blood of metabolic wastes, which are substances produced by the body that it cannot use for any purpose.
which the renal artery,renal vein, renal nerves, and ureter enter and exit the kidney. The hilum opens to a central cavity called the renal sinus, which is lined by the renal capsule and filled with urine-draining structures and adipose tissue. This connective tissue anchors the ureter, blood vessels, and nerves in place. Quick Check 1.
