The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys renal pelvis ureters bladder and urethra.

Functional anatomy of the urinary system. The kidneys alone perform the functions just described and manufacture urine in the process while the other organs of the urinary system provide temporary storage reservoirs for urine or serve as transportation channels to carry it from one body region to another. Distal convoluted tubule 6. Kidney and urinary system parts and their functions.

Kidney and urinary system parts and their functions. The urinary systems function is to filter blood and create urine as a waste by product. Renal artery segmental artery interlobar artery arcuate artery cortical radiate artery afferent arterioles glomerulus efferent arterioles peritubular.

The kidneys remove urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. Urea together with water and other waste substances. Functional microscopic anatomy of the kidney and bladder 7.

Exercise 26 functional anatomy of the urinary system. Anatomy of the urinary system. Trace a drop of blood from the time it enters the kidney in the renal artery until it leaves the kidney through the renal vein.

The body takes nutrients from food and converts them to energy. Use the key letters to identify the diagram of the nephron and associated renal blood supply on the left. Trace a drop of blood from the time it enters the kidney via the renal artery until it leaves the kidney through the renal vein.

Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries called a glomerulus and a small tube called a renal tubule. The main components of the urinary system are two kidneys two ureters the urinary bladder two sphincter muscles and the urethra. Excretion of nitrogenous waste products is the main function of the urinary system which if not eliminated from the body can become toxic and cause the death of an individual.

Urea together with water and other waste substances forms the urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney.
