Urinary Disorders
Bedwetting
What is enuresis?
Ureters
the act of emptying urine from the bladder
What is micturate or urinate?
the organ that stores urine prior to being released from the body
Bladder
In the refrigerator analogy, this would be taking everything out of the fridge and laying it out on the counter.
What is filtration?
involuntary urination, inability to control release of urine
What is incontinence?
outer portion of the kidney
Renal Cortex
Blood in urine
Hematuria
95% of our urine is what?
Water
In the refrigerator analogy, this would be like finding a few things you didn't find before and tossing them out.
What is secretion?
a machine passes your blood through a semipermeable membrane to filter out waste products and fluid.
Hemodialysis
Renal Medulla
Painful urination
Dysuria
What type of medication makes you have to urinate more frequently?
Diuretic
In the refrigerator analogy, this would be putting back the items that you want to keep.
What is reabsorption?
Inflammation of the kidney
Glomerulonephritis
double-walled capsule surrounding the glomerulus
Bowman’s Capsule
Examination of urine to determine presence of blood, cells, bacteria, acidity level, specific gravity and physical characteristics
What is Urinalysis?
Hormone that increases the permeability of the collecting duct to water. (decreasing urine output)
What is ADH?
Glucose is making it through to the urine, so this part of urine formation was affected.
What is filtration?
Develops slowly over years. Often leads to complete kidney failure.
Glomerulonephritis (chronic)
external opening of the urethra where urine exits the body
Urinary Meatus
The absence of urine.
What is anuria?
The part(s) of the nephron where filtration takes place.
What is the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule?
This urinary process is impaired during dehydration if the proximal convoluted tubules are unable to correct water imbalances
What is reabsorption?
Made of crystals of calcium phosphate and uric acid
Kidney Stones or Renal Calculus
The Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, and loop of Henle are all parts of the:
Nephron
Affix meaning "many"
What is -poly?
The part(s) of the nephron where reabsorption takes place.
What is the PCT, Loop of Henle, and the DCT?
Transports substances such as creatinine, potassium, hydrogen and some drugs into the collecting tubule
What is Secretion?
