The Urinary System: Anatomy, Functions, and Regulation, Study notes of Anatomy
A comprehensive overview of the urinary system, including its major components, functions, and regulatory mechanisms. It delves into the anatomy and histology of the kidneys, the process of urine production, and the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance. Topics such as the structure and role of the nephron, the mechanisms of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion, as well as the hormonal regulation of urine concentration and volume. Additionally, it explores the anatomy and function of the ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra, and the micturition reflex. The document also discusses the regulation of extracellular fluid composition, including the role of thirst, ion concentration, and acid-base balance. This in-depth exploration of the urinary system provides a valuable resource for students and professionals interested in understanding the complex mechanisms that maintain homeostasis in the human body.
