What You'll Learn
Identify the urinary organs and the external and internal anatomy of the kidney.
Trace renal blood flow from the renal artery through the nephron circulation.
Describe the nephron and the filtration membrane.
Explain the forces that determine glomerular filtration.
Compare filtration reabsorption secretion and excretion.
Connect each nephron segment with its major transport functions.
Explain how the countercurrent system preserves the medullary osmotic gradient.
Compare the production of dilute and concentrated urine.
Explain ADH aldosterone and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
Connect kidney function with water electrolyte and acid-base balance.
Trace urine through the ureters bladder and urethra.
Explain the micturition reflex and recognize major normal urine characteristics.

The urinary system becomes easier to understand when kidney anatomy, nephron function, urine formation, fluid balance, and acid-base regulation are connected as one continuous process. The A and P II Urinary System Trail Guide begins with the urinary organs and kidney structure, then follows blood and filtrate through the nephron and the urinary tract.
Students examine the renal corpuscle, filtration membrane, renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and secretion, nephron segments, the countercurrent system, dilute and concentrated urine, hormonal control, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, water and electrolyte balance, acid-base balance, ureters, the bladder, micturition, and normal urine characteristics.
Realistic medical illustrations, concise explanations, and pathway-based comparisons make the relationships among anatomy, transport processes, and homeostasis easier to organize. This 28-page digital study companion complements A and P II lectures, textbooks, and laboratory instruction while supporting review and exam preparation.
