Urinary System Review Questions: 1. This system would be lined with what type of membrane? 2. What type of epithelial tissue would line the opening of the urethra (the exit of the tract)? 3. What type of epithelial tissue would line the majority of the tract? 4. What type of muscle would line the walls of this tract? 5. What parasympathetic nerve would supply the urinary system? Hint: We re below the hips!

Active Na + transport creates concentration gradients that drive: 2 Downhill Na + entry at the luminal membrane. 3 Reabsorption of organic nutrients and certain ions by cotransport at the luminal membrane. 4 Reabsorption of water by osmosis. Water reabsorption increases the concentration of the solutes that are left behind. These solutes can then be reabsorbed as they move down their concentration gradients: 5 Lipid-soluble substances diffuse by the transcellular route. 6 Cl (and other anions), K +, and urea diffuse by the paracellular route. 976

H 2 O H 2 O H 2 O NaCI NaCI NaCI Cortex Obligatory reabsorption into vasa recta (peritubular capillaries) The descending limb: Permeable to H 2 O Impermeable to NaCl As filtrate flows, it becomes increasingly concentrated as H 2 O leaves the tubule by osmosis. The filtrate osmolality increases from 300 to 1200 mosm. H 2 O H 2 O H 2 O H 2 O Loop of Henle NaCI NaCI Outer medulla Inner medulla (a) Countercurrent multiplier. The long loops of Henle of the juxtamedullary nephrons create the medullary osmotic gradient. The ascending limb: Impermeable to H 2 O Permeable to NaCl Filtrate becomes increasingly dilute as NaCl leaves, eventually becoming hypo-osmotic to blood at 100 mosm in the cortex. NaCl leaving the ascending limb increases the osmolality of the medullary interstitial fluid. 980

Hypocalcemia (low blood Ca 2+ ) stimulates parathyroid glands to release PTH. Rising Ca 2+ in blood inhibits PTH release. Bone 1 PTH activates osteoclasts: Ca 2+ and PO 4 3S released into blood. 2 PTH increases Kidney Ca 2+ reabsorption in kidney tubules. 3 PTH promotes kidney s activation of vitamin D, which increases Ca 2+ absorption from food.
