1 Waste Urinary System Anatomy Urinary Section pages 5-8 Metabolism produces waste products What is the primary waste product of cellular respiration? How does the body dispose of it? Urinary System Urinary System Disposes of water soluble wastes Maintains fluid balance Regulates electrolytes Regulates acid-base balance Other functions Renin stored and secreted Enzyme involved in angiotensin II activation Erythropoietin Hormone that stimulates RBC production Vitamin D activation Enzymes convert dietary and manufactured vitamin D to calcitrol Nitrogenous Wastes Urine is about 95% water Second largest component is urea Urea derived from breakdown of amino acids Nitrogenous Wastes TOXIC! 1. Dietary amino acids NH 2 removed NH 2 + H + NH ml of urine removes only 1 gram of nitrogen as ammonia 2. Ammonia can be converted to urea Requires energy 50 ml of urine removes 1 gram of nitrogen as urea 3. Ammonia can be converted to uric acid Requires lots of energy 10 ml of urine removes 1 gram of nitrogen as uric acid 1
