• Nature of nitrogenous waste formed and their excretion vary
among animals depending on he habitat/availability of water.
Major Nature & Toxicity Typical
Nitrogenous Examples and water
Waste required
• Ammonia Ammonotelic Maximum ’ Diffusion
’ Aquatic insects through gills
’ Many bony fishes surface of
’ Aquatic body surface as
amphibians ammonium ions
• Urea Ureotelic Lesser ’Kidneys filter
’ Marine fishes urea from
’ Many terrestrial amphibians blood
’ Mammals
• Uric acid Uricotelic Least ’ Pellet/Paste
’ Land snails
’ Insects
’ Reptiles

• Ammonia converts into urea in liver.
• Elimination of urea, uric acid is meant for conservation of water
i.e., a type of terrestrial adaptation.
• Kidneys do not play a significant role in removal of ammonia.
• Some amount of urea may be retained in the kidney matrix of
some animals to maintain desired osmolarity.

• Most invertebrates – Simple tubular forms
• Vertebrates- Complex tubular organs called kidneys
Structures Examples
• Protonephridia/ flame cells ’ Platyhelminthes (Planaria)
’ Rotifers
’ Some annelids
’ Cephalochordates (Amphioxus)
• Nephridia ’ Annelids (Earthworms)
• Malpighian tubules ’ Insects (Cockroaches)
• Antennal/Green glands ’ Crustaceans (Prawn)
• Protonephridia are primarily concerned with
osmoregulation
• Function of excretory structures:
• Eliminate nitrogenous wastes.
• Maintain ionic and acid-base balance of body
fluids, i.e., osmoregulation.

Structures Involved
q Kidneys
• 1 pair, bean shaped, reddish brown.
• Length 10-12 cm, Width 5-7 cm. Thickness 2-3 cm.
• Weight 120-170 g
• Between T12 – T3 vertebra, close to dorsal inner wall of abdominal cavity.
q Ureter
• 1 pair
q Urinary Bladder
• Have stretch receptors
• Store urine till voluntary signals from CNS carries out its release.
q Urethra
• Guarded by sphincters
• Mean for release of urine

• Glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries formed by afferent
arteriole- a fine branch of renal artery.
• Malpighian corpuscle, PCT, DCT, - Located in cortex
• Loop of Henle- Dips into medulla.
• Many DCTs open into straight tube called collecting duct,
many of which coverage into renal pelvis through medullary
pyramids in the calyces.
• Efferent arteriole- emerging from glomerulus forms
peritubular- capillaries around renal tubule.
• Vasa recta:
• Branch of peritubular capillaries
• Parallel to loop of Henle
• ‘U’ shaped

CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPOSITION OF URINE
• Colour – Light yellow
• pH = 6
• Order – Characteristic
• Human kidneys can produce urine
nearly 4 times concentrated than
initial filtrate.
• Urea – 25-30 gm/day
• Various conditions can affect
characteristics of urine.
