Ch 11 Genitourinary System Flashcards
Fluid that passed from the blood through the capillary walls of the glomeruli of the kidney
Filtrate
Mineral salts that carry an electrical charge in solution
Electrolytes
Products of the cellular metabolism that contain nitrogen
Nitrogenous wastes
Sequence of rhythmic contraction of smooth muscles of a hollow organ to force material forward and prevent backflow
Peristaltic waves
Serous membrane that lines the andominopelvic cavity and covers most of the organs within the cavity

Scanty
-spadias
Slit,fissure
Absence of ursine production or urinary output
Anuria
Retention of excessive amounts of nitrogenous compounds in the blood
Azotemia
Uremia
Blockage at base of the bladder that reduces or prevents urine from passing into the urethra
Bladder neck obstruction BNO
Renal failure that occurs over a period of years in which the kidneys lose their ability to maintain volume and composition of body fluids with normal dietary intake
Chronic renal failure
Condition in which renal function is permanently lost
End-stage renal disease ESRD
Involuntary discharge of urine
Enuresis
Abnormal passage from a hollow organ to the surface or from one organ to another
Fistula
Abnormal dilation of the renal pelvis and the calyces of one of both kidneys due to pressure from accumulated urine that cannot flow past an obstruction in the urinary tract
Hydronephrosis
Loss of large amounts of plasma protein usually albumin by way of urine due to increased permeability of the glomerular membrane
Nephrotic syndrome
Excessive or frequent urination after going to bed
Nocturia
Diminished capacity to form and pass urine, resulting in inefficient excretion of the end products of metabolism
Oliguria
Inherited disease in which sacs of fluid called cysts develop in the kidneys
Polycystic kidney disease PKD
Disorder caused by the failure of urine to pass through the ureters to the bladder usually due to the impairment of the valve between the irretrievable and bladder or obstruction in the ureter
Vesicoureteral reflux VUR
Rapidly developing malignant neoplasm of the kidney that usually occurs in children
Wilms tumor
Congenital absence of one or both testes
Anorchidism
Failure to form or ejaculate semen
Aspermia
Inflammation of the skin covering the glans penis
Balanitis
Malformation in which he urethra opens on the dorsum of the penis
Epispadias
Accumulation of serous fluid in a saclike cavity especially the testis and associated structures
Hydrocele
Developmental anomaly in which the urethra opens on the underside of the penis or in extreme cases on the perineum
Hypospadias
Stenosis or narrowing of preputial orifice so that the foreskin cannot be retracted over the glans penis
Phimosis
Swelling and distention of veins of the spermatic cord
Varicocele
Screening test that assesses the rectal wall surface for lesions or abnormally firm areas that might indicate cancer
Digital rectal examination DRE
Measures the contraction of muscles that control urination using electrodes placed in the rectum ad urethra
Electromyography
Endoscopy of the urinary bladder for evidence of pathology, obtaining biopsies of tumors or other growths, and removal of polyps
Cystoscopy
Endoscopy of the kidney using a specialized three-channel endoscope that enables visualization ad irrigation of the kidney
Nephroscopy
Endoscopy of the urethra using s specialized endoscope, typically for lithotripsy or TURP
Urethroscopy
Test that determines the amount of urea nitrogen present in a blood sample
Blood urea nitrogen
Test that determines the causative organism of a disease and how the organism responds to various antibiotics
Culture and sensitivity
Blood test used to determine prostatic disorders especially prostatic cancer
Prostate specific antigen PSA
Radio graphic exam of the urinary bladder using a contrast medium
Cystography
Procedure that assesses volume and pressure in the bladder at various stages of filling using saline and a a contrast medium introduced into the bladder through a catheter
Cystometrography
Radiograph exam
Of the kidneys and urinary tract after IV injection of a contrast medium
Intravenous pyelography
Radio graphic exam to determine the location size and shape of the kidneys in relationship to other organs in the abdominopelvic cavity and to identify abnormalities of the urinary system
Kidney ureter bladder KUB radiography
Radiological exam of the bladder and urethra performed before during and after voiding using a contrast medium to enhance imaging
Voiding cystourethrography VCUG
Medical procedure used to filter toxic substances from the patients bloodstream such as excess electrolytes and nitrogenous wastes
Dialysis
Fixation of a floating or mobile kidney
Nephropexy
Surgical procedure that involves inserting a resectoscope into the urethra to chip away at the prostate gland to remove the obstruction and flushing out the chips an sending them for analysis to detect possible evidence of cancer
Transurethral resection of the prostate TURP
