Bob the Builder:
Tubes that eliminate urine from the body
Ureters
The medical term for Kidney Stones
Renal Calculi
Passage of blood though a machine that artificially removes wastes, salts and water
Dialysis
A normal component of urine
Uric Acid, water, salts
Proximal Convoluted Tubules and Distal Convoluted Tubules
PCT: Obligatory Reabsorption
DCT: Optimal Reabsorption
Two bean shaped organs that filter waste out of blood
Kidneys
Gradual Loss of function in the Nephrons
Chronic Renal Failure
Pathway of urine through the urinary organs
Kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra
This describes the area in which the kidneys live
Retroperitoneal
The Excretory Organs
Kidneys, Lungs, Skin, Intestines
List the parts of the urinary system
kidney
ureter
bladder
urethra
The last stage of chronic kidney disease
End Stage Renal Disease
Normal Secretion of Urine (Volume)
1000-2000mLs
These are reabsorbed into the blood during filtration
Water, glucose, vitamins
80% of H2O is reabsorbed during this stage
Obligatory Reabsorption
Double walled, hollow capsule containing the Glomerulus
Bowman's Capsule
This disorder causes renal pelvis & calyces to become distended due to accumulation of fluid
Hydronephrosis
This forces filtrate to flow from the blood into the Glomerulus
Increased pressure in the capillaries (60-90mmhg)
Caused by trauma to the Flank
These hormones control optimal reabsorption
ADH and Aldosterone
Filtration occurs here
Glomerulus
This disorder occurs in children, 1-3 weeks after a bacterial infection
Acute Glomerular Nephritis
Urine Pathway Formation
Afferent Arteriole -> Glomerulus -> Plasma-like fluid enters Bowman's Capsule -> Reabsorption in the PCT, loop of Henle, and DCT -> collecting tubules -> renal Calyces -> ureters -> bladder -> urethra -> meatus
Removal of waste from blood using fluid in the abdomen in the abdomen
Peritoneal Dialysis
Rennin
Stimulates secretion of Aldosterone, Constricts Blood Vessels, Begins RAAS Cascade
