Urinary System and Kidney Structu
Aim of Lesson: to study the gross structure of the Starter
urinary system and the ultrastructure of the kidney.
What do excretion and osmoregulation m
You should be able to identify the structures within
the urinary system.
You should be able to describe the ultrastructure of
the kidney. Why is excretion important?
You should be able to explain the importance of
excretion and osmoregulation..

,The Urinary System
The urinary system, also known as the renal system, and in particular the
are involved in excretion and osmoregulation.
Excretion: removal of metabolic waste products from the body.

Osmoregulation: regulation of water and salt/ion content of blood.
Why is this important?
Would cause water to enter or
cells so they could shrink or bu
could affect blood pressure an
ability to sweat…

Kidneys
Filtering waste products from blood and turns them
into urine.
Renal Arteries Supplies blood to kidneys.
Renal Vein
Carries blood away from the kidneys.
Ureter
Carries urine from kidneys to bladder.
Bladder
Stores urine prior to removal.
