Describe the pathway of urine from formation to removal. | kidney, urinary bladder, ureter, and urethra. |
What are the nephron and what do they do? | basic functional and histological unit of the kidney. |

Describe the ureters. | tubular organs, smooth muscle, lead from the kidney to the bladder, and obstructed by a renal calculus. |
Describe the urinary bladder. | hollow, distensible, muscular organ, and lined with transitional epithelial. |
Describe micturition. | act of urination, distension, 600ml, uncomfortable @300ml |
Describe the urethra, why is it longer in men than women? | because men conduct sperm and urine out of there urethra. |
Describe how respiratory acidosis occurs. | ph 3.5, carbon dioxide accumulates |
What are the consequences of blood acidosis? | obstructions, pneumonia, empiphysia, or brain stem injury. |
Describe how respiratory alkalosis occurs. | hyperventilating, salicylic poisoning, and lack of oxygen. |
Describe how metabolic acidosis occurs. | excess anti-acids, antidiuretics, drainage. |
What are the consequences of blood alkalosis? | fainting, light headedness, dizziness |
List the functions of the male reproductive system. | produce and maintain gametes. transport gametes, inseminate female, and produce semen. |
What do the testes do? | hold semen and promote sperm production |
What occurs in seminiferous tubules? | spermatogenesis |
What do the epididymis do? | long coiled cord. stores and transports sperm |
What does the vas deferens do? | transport sperm from epididymis to ejaculatory ducts |
Functions of the accessory glands: prostate, seminal vesicle, and bulbourethral gland. | prostate- secrete prostate fluid, propel seminal fluid into urethra during ejaculation. seminal vesicle- sperm travels through. b. gland- adds fluid to semen during ejaculation. |
What are the functions of the ovaries? | descend during development, hold eggs. |
What do the fallopian tubes do? | sweep eggs toward the uterus, aid in transport. |
What does the uterus do? | womb, hold the baby. |
Describe the vaginal structure. | labia major, labia minor. |
Why are the mammary glands studied in the reproductive system? | assist in feeding the infant. provides food supply for offspring |
Why is lymph percolated? | secrete antibodies and enclosed in fibrous tissue. |
What is the primary function of the lymphatic system? | fight infection |
How does fever help humans fight infection? | burns out pathogens |
What are interferon? | warn the cells of danger |
What are memory cells and how do they help humans with immunity? | recognize particular pathogens and destroy pathogen. |
What are autoimmune diseases? List examples. | attacks tissues in the body, body attacks itself. rheumatoid arthristis, MS, Lupus |
What is the average ph of urine | 6.5-7 |
Where is the renal sinus? | medial portion of kidney |
What is the normal volume of urine per day? | 6.5-2.5 liter/ .5-.6hr |
What is an abnormal urine output? | .30 too low |
Describe the graafian follicle-pre ovulatory. | stimulates endometrium, have period. |
What becomes of the graafian follicle-- post ovulatory? | degenerates into corpus luteum |
List the three regions of the uterine wall. | endometrium, myometrium, and epimetrium |
What is the endometrium? | inner lining of the uterus |
What is the myometrium? | the muscle of the uterus |
