what collects urine from the renal pyramids
renal calyces

what drains directly into the vena cava
renal vein
is the kidney highly vascular
yes

spinchters
what passes thru the prostate gland and penis
urethra

urologist
what are some problems treated in both male and females
urinary incontinence
bladder stones
tumors, cancer
adrenal disease
what are GU surgeries classified as
open and closed
how is open performed
in OR room involves surgical incision
how is closed performed

what are some types of renal scans
x-ray, CT scan, MRI, Ultrasound
what measures amount of time it take the kidneys to excrete dye- and indicates kidney function
intravenous pyelogram (IVP)
what is a retrograge pyelogram
10-20cc of radiopaque dye is injected thru a ureteral catheter during a cystoscopy
is dye used in a KUB
