Chapter 17 - Urinary System 17.1 Introduction (Fig. 17.1) A. The urinary system consists of two kidneys that filter the blood‚ two ureters‚ a urinary bladder‚ and a urethra to convey waste substances to the outside. 17.2 Kidneys (Fig. 17.2) A. The kidney is a reddish brown‚ bean-shaped organ 12 centimeters long; it is enclosed in a tough‚ fibrous capsule. B. Location of the Kidneys 1. The kidneys are positioned retroperitoneally on either side of the vertebral column between the twelfth

Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)‚ a NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase which regulates glucose/lipid metabolism through its deacetylase activity on many substrates. SIRT1 plays a major role in regulating insulin secretion and protects cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.SIRT1 also manages adiponectin secretion‚ inflammation‚

In Case Study #2 we look at Rivka a young physically active college student who participated in strenuous activities on a hot day without planning for proper hydration. In pronounced dehydration‚ hypotension can occur. How would this affect the glomerular filtration rate of the kidney? What actions by the juxtaglomerular apparatus would occur to restore GFR? The glomerular filtration rate would decrease with a decline in blood pressure. The juxtaglomerular apparatus participates in renal autoregulation

Blood Water Homeostasis or Osmoregulation Osmoregulation is the process by which the body regulated the osmotic pressure of any organism’s fluids in order to keep the homeostasis of the organisms’ water level constant. Therefore osmoregulation is used to keep the bodily fluid from being too diluted or too concentrated. An osmotic pressure is used to measure the ability of water to move from one solution to another solution through osmosis. Osmotic pressure refers to tendency for a liquid solution
