🗑
__1__ is completely reabsorbed and should not be found in urine   1.Glucose  
🗑
Where is most filtrate reabsorbed   Proximal tubule  
🗑
Decreased GFR with age -Drugs and IV fluids   Increased risk for drug overdose Increased risk for FVO --> CHF  
🗑
Rate at which filtration occurs   GFR (glomerular filtration rate)  
🗑
Protein in urine indicates what?   Abnormal nephron function  
🗑
*Small molecules that move through pores, filtered by glomerulus #1.-7. *Large molecules that stay in the glomerulus (filtrate) #8.-9.   1.Water 2.Sodium 3.Potassium 4. Chloride 5. Glucose 6. Uric Acid 7.Creatinine 8.RBC's 9.Proteins  
🗑
The process of urine formation   Glomerular filtration --> Tubular reabsorbtion --> Tubular secretion  
🗑
Where urine is formed   Nephron units  
🗑
Passes through penis/opens anterior to vagina Females 3-4cm Males about 20cm   Urethra  
🗑
Males: below bladder neck, surrounds urethra posteriorly and laterally   Prostate gland  
🗑
Weakening of external sphincter and decreased ability to detect full bladder: leads to   Incontinence  
🗑
Less effective bladder contraction leads to __1__ Which means and increased risk for __2__   1.Urinary retention (residual urine) 2.Bladder infection  
🗑
*Segment most distal from bladder *At anterior urethra *Portion that is under voluntary control   External urinary sphincter  
🗑
Bladder neck contains bundles of involuntary smooth muscle that forms a portion of the __1__ , known as the __2__   1.Urethral sphinter 2.Internal sphincter  
🗑
*Specialized layer of the bladder. *Transitional cell epithelium, contains membrane impermeable to water *Prevents urine reabsorbtion   Urothelium  
🗑
The Bladder: *Hollow area called the __1__, which is characterized by folded tissue called __2__ (wrinkles when empty)   1.Vesicle 2.Rugae  
🗑
*Sac behind pubic bone *Adult capacity is 300-600ml of urine *In infancy, this is found in the abdomen   Bladder  
🗑
Movement of urine from the renal pelives --> ureters --> bladder is facilitated by   Paristaltic waves  
🗑
*Lining of the ureters is made up of __1__ -transitional cell epithelium *Prevents reabsorbtion of urine   Uratothelium  
🗑
Which ureter is shorter?   Left  
🗑
What keeps the ureterovesical junction closed during micturition?   Increased intravesical pressure  
🗑
Another term for voiding   Micturition  
🗑
*Retrograde/backward movement of urine *Efflux of urine   Vesicoureteral reflux  
🗑
Angling of this prevents vesicoureteral reflux   Ureeterovesical juntion  
🗑
*Long, fibromuscular tube connecting kidneys to the bladder *Narrow, muscular. Originates in lower renal pelvis *Terminates in the trigone of bladder wall   Ureter/ureters
