1
Urinary and Excretory System
  • Unit 1 Components of the Excretion System

2
Urinary and Excretory System App for Iphone
(FREE!)
3
Liver
  • a vital organ whose purpose is to detoxification,
    protein synthesis and production of bile pigments

4
Skin
  • maintain body temperature (sweating) and
    maintaining salt/water/urea concentration
    (perspiration)

5
Large Intestine
  • Defecation
  • Expel waste out of the body

6
Kidney
  • Filters blood to remove waste and balance the
    concentration of water in blood. Conversion of
    Ammonia to Urea and the excretion of urea

7
Ureters
  • Tube like structure that carries urine from
    kidneys to bladder

8
Urethra
  • Tube like structure that carries urine from
    bladder to the outside of the body

9
Bladder
  • stores urine until eliminated from the system

10
Nephron
  • tubules that are found inside kidneys. The
    purpose of Nephrons is for filtration and
    selective reabsorption of blood. Each nephron
    contains bowman's capsule and renal tubule.

11
Peritubular Capillaries
  • drains reabsorbed materials into renal veins. It
    also maintains concentration gradient in the
    medulla of the adrenal gland.

12
Bowman's capsule
  • a ball unit found in the nephron.This unit
    obtains blood plasma from the kidneys to the
    nephron for water and ion reabsorption

13
ADH
  • increase the permeability of water
