WEEK 14 LABORATORY EXERCISE The Urinary System

The document summarizes the key components of the excretory system including the kidney, nephron, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra. It outlines 7 objectives to study the organs involved in excretion and their functions such as filtration, reabsorption, and secretion in the nephron. The objectives also define micturition and describe the micturition reflex as well as identify anatomical constrictions of the ureter and illustrate the parts of the urinary bladder and urethra in males.

EXERCISE NO 13
THE EXCRETORY STSYEM
I. OJECTIVE: : Study the organs involved in the excretory system.
1. Identify the parts and functions of the nephron.
o a renal corpuscle
o a renal tubule
o the associated capillary
- produces urine in the process of removing waste and excess substances from the
blood.
2. Explain the formation of dilute versus concentrated urine.
- When the kidney generates free water, the urine becomes dilute (hypo-osmotic).
Conversely, when the kidney removes water from an isosmotic fluid, the urine becomes
concentrated (hyperosmotic).
3. Define micturition and describe the micturition reflex.
- The micturition reflex is a bladder-to-bladder contraction reflex for which the reflex center
is located in the rostral pontine tegmentum (pontine micturition center: PMC). There are
two afferent pathways from the bladder to the brain.
4. Draw and label the following parts of the kidney

5. Enumerate the different anatomical constrictions of the ureter.


▪ at the pelviureteric junction (PUJ) of the renal pelvis and the ureter.
▪ as the ureter enters the pelvis and crosses over the common iliac artery bifurcation.
▪ at the vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) as the ureter obliquely enters the bladder wall.

6. Illustrate the different parts of the urinary bladder and urethra in the male.

7. Label the parts of the nephron and with the use of colored arrows, identify thesite of
filtration (black), reabsorption (blue) and secretion (red).
