Question
Answer
urinary system consist of what   show
🗑
show excretory system  
🗑
nephro   show
🗑
show kidney  
🗑
suprarenal or adrenal glands have no functional relationship to urinary system, but they secrete __________ and __________   show
🗑
what are the functions of the urinary system   show
🗑
show -4.5" long -2 to 3" wide -1.25" thick  
🗑
show left  
🗑
where are the kidneys located   show
🗑

🗑

🗑

🗑
show attaches the kidneys to the diaphragm and peritoneum  
🗑

🗑

🗑
what does the nephron consist of   show
🗑
what does the renal corpuscle consist of   show
🗑
show vessel entering capsule  
🗑
efferent arteriole   show
🗑
show branches of the afferent arterioles, form networks around renal tubules, responsible for reabsorption  
🗑
glomerulus   show
🗑
renal tubule   show
🗑
show -proximal convoluted tubule -loop of henle -distal convoluted tubule(opens up into the collecting ducts)>reflexively releases renin  
🗑
what are the processes involved in the secretion of urine in the nephron   show
🗑
show water and solutes are filtered from the blood plasma in glomerulus, and moved across glomerular capsule membrane into filtering space of capsule  
🗑
show water is reabsorbed into blood via peritubular capilaries  
🗑
vasopressin   show
🗑
selective reabsorption   show
🗑
show all solutes not required by the body are secreted in to tubules. urea, creatinine and other toxins are excreted in this manner  
🗑
show final product of protein metabolism; it is the chief nitrogenous constitute of urine  
🗑
creatinine   show
🗑
what are normal lab values for BUN and creatinine   show
🗑
show -enzyme secreted in renal tubule(distal convuluted tubule) reflexively to control blood pressure(when BP spikes less renin is made and when it drops more is made) -renin also causes blood to generate a chemical called angiotensin  
🗑
show -causes the blood compartment to constrict therefore raising blood pressure -dispatches a separate message to the adrenal gland to release a cortical hormone that circulates to the tubules to absorb more salt and water from urine and ease BP  
🗑
diseases of the ______ can adversely influence blood pressure, and blood pressure may alter _______ function   show
🗑
show -converge to form a central tubule within the pyramid -opens at renal papilla(nipple like end of renal pyramid) -drains into minor calyces  
🗑
show cup shaped stems that enclose one or more papilla(usually fewer calyces than pyramids)  
🗑
show major calyces  
🗑
show -renal pelvis -hilum  
🗑
hilum   show
🗑
show central cavity; fat filled space surrounding renal pelvis and calyces; continuation of hilum  
🗑
show ureter  
🗑
show -10 to 12" long -musculomembraneous tube that passes from kidney to urinary bladder -moves urine from renal pelvis to urinary bladder through peristalsis  
🗑
where do ureters enter bladder   show
🗑
show -musculomembranous sac -serves as a reservoir for urine(adult bladder can hold up 500 ml of urine) -apex is anterosuperior aspect -neck is lowest part  
🗑
where is urinary bladder located   show
🗑
trigone   show
🗑
show -musculomembranous tube that carries urine out of body -1.5" long in females -7 to 8" long in males  
🗑
show -small glandular body surrounding the proximal part of the male urethra(actually part of reproductive system) -located posterior to inferior portion of symphysis -attaches to inferior surface of bladder  
🗑
show secretes milky white fluid, which makes up part of semen, that is enters urethra through ducts  
🗑
show -blockage at base of bladder that reduces flow of urine into urethra -there can be many causes of BNO  
🗑
show -benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)or enlarged prostate -bladder calculi(stones) -urethral stricture(scar tissue) -bladder tumors -pelvic tumors(cervix,prostate, uterus, rectal)  
🗑
what are symptoms of BPH   show
🗑
transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)or adenomectomy or prostectomy   show
🗑
renal agenesis   show
🗑
show kidney does not ascend as it should in childhood development(not harmful, but can develop complications)  
🗑
hypospadias   show
🗑
show a rare type of malformation of the penis in which the urethra ends in an opening on the upper aspect of the penis  
🗑
oliguria and anuria   show
🗑
show lack of ability to urinate  
🗑
show term used to loosely describe the illness accompanying kidney failure  
🗑
staghorn calculus or struvite   show
🗑
nephroptosis or floating kidney or renal ptosis   show
🗑
show urination  
🗑
show 1 to 2 liters  
🗑
vesicoureteral reflux   show
🗑
why are contrast studies done   show
🗑
show -antegrade(with flow) -retrograde(against flow)  
🗑
urography   show
🗑
show dilatation of renal pelvis and calyces as a result of obstruction  
🗑
antegrade urography   show
🗑

🗑
show excretory technique; most commonly done; demonstrates function and structure of entire urinary system  
🗑
