Functions of the Excretory System
(The skin excretes excess water and salts in the form
of sweat.
The lungs excrete carbon dioxide.
The kidneys also play a major role in excretion).

Functions of the Excretory System
2.The kidneys:
• remove waste products from the blood.
• maintain blood pH.
• regulate the water content of the blood
(and, therefore, blood volume.)
(The kidneys are located on either side of the
spinal column near the lower back.)

3. ureter: (A tube )
* leaves each kidney
* carrying urine to urinary bladder.
4. urinary bladder:
* saclike organ where urine is stored

The Kidneys
(Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery.
The kidney removes urea, excess water, and other
waste products and passes them to the ureter.
The clean, filtered blood leaves the kidney through
the renal vein and returns to circulation.)

their loops of Henle, which descend into the renal
medulla.)

6. As blood enters a nephron through the
arteriole
•impurities are filtered out and emptied into
the collecting duct.
• purified blood exits the nephron through
the venule.

The Kidneys
(The mechanism of blood purification involves two
distinct processes: filtration and reabsorption.)

The Kidneys
(Filtration
Passing a liquid or gas through a filter to remove
wastes is called filtration.
The filtration of blood mainly takes place in the
glomerulus.
The glomerulus is a small network of capillaries
encased in the top of the nephron by a hollow,
cup-shaped structure called Bowman's capsule.)

7. Filtration:
* Materials filtered from the blood include water,
urea, glucose, salts, amino acids, and some
vitamins.
(Plasma proteins, cells, and platelets remain in the
blood because they are too large to pass through the
capillary walls.)

8. Reabsorption
*Most of the material removed diffuses back
into blood.
*Almost 99% of the water is reabsorbed.
*urine remains
Slide

38–3 The Excretory System
The Kidneys
(Almost 99% of the water that enters Bowman’s
capsule is reabsorbed into the blood.
When the filtrate drains in the collecting ducts, most
water and nutrients have been reabsorbed into the
blood.)

38–3 The Excretory System
The Kidneys
(Remaining material, called urine, is emptied into a
collecting duct.
Urine is primarily concentrated in the loop of Henle.
The loop of Henle is a section of the nephron tubule
in which water is conserved and the volume of urine
minimized.)
Slide

The Kidneys
(As the kidney works, purified blood is returned to
circulation while urine is collected in the urinary
bladder.
Urine is stored here until it is released from the body
through a tube called the urethra.)

Control of Kidney Function
9. Control of Kidney Function
a. mostly controlled by regulatory hormones which
are released in response to composition of blood.

38–3 The Excretory System
Control of Kidney Function
(When you drink a liquid, it is absorbed into the blood
through the digestive system.
As a result, the concentration of water in the blood
increases.
As the amount of water in the blood increases, the
rate of water reabsorption in the kidneys decreases.
Less water is returned to the blood, and excess water
is sent to the urinary bladder to be excreted as urine.)

38–3 The Excretory System
Control of Kidney Function
(When the kidneys detect an increase in salt, they
respond by returning less salt to the blood by
reabsorption.
The excess salt the kidneys retain is excreted in
urine, thus maintaining the composition of the blood.)

Homeostasis by Machine
(Homeostasis by Machine
Humans have two kidneys, but can survive with
only one.
If both kidneys are damaged by disease or injury,
there are two options:
•
•
a kidney transplant
kidney dialysis

Homeostasis by Machine
Kidney dialysis works as follows:
• Blood is removed by a tube and pumped through
special tubing that acts like nephrons.
• Tiny pores in the tubing allow salts and small
molecules to pass through.
• Wastes diffuse out of the blood into the fluid-filled
chamber, allowing purified blood to be returned to
the body. )
