DISEASES OF THE URINARY SYSTEM (9)
a. Uremia
b. Glomerulonephritis
c. Pyelonephritis
d. Pyelitis
e. Hydronephrosis
f. Nephrolithiasis
g. Ureteritis
h. Cystitis
i. Urethritis
a disease of the urinary system; the end stage of renal failure, in which the patient dies from excess waste products in the blood. Indicated by odor of urine.
Uremia
a disease of the urinary system; inflammation of the little tuft of capillaries located within the structural and functional unit of the kidneys.
Glomerulonephritis
a disease of the urinary system; inflammation of the structural and functional unit of the kidneys caused by pyogenic or pus forming bacteria
Pyelonephritis
a disease of the urinary system; inflammation of the renal pelvis. The central collection area for urine.
Pyelitis
a disease of the urinary system; over distention of renal pelvis due to blockage or obstruction in the ureter.
Hydronephrosis
a disease of the urinary system; the presence or formation of nephroliths (kidney stones)
Nephrolithiasis
kidney stones
Renal calculi
a single kidney stone
Renal calcus
a disease of the urinary system; inflammation of one or both of the tubes that convey urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
Ureteritis
a disease of the urinary system; inflammation of the urinary bladder. Two possible causes: Not emptying bladder completely after urination and alteration in the cells that make up the bladder (transitional cell carcinoma??? –bladder cancer)
Cystitis
a disease of the urinary system; inflammation of the urethra - the single tube that conveys urine from the bladder to outside the body.
Urethritis
Genetic/developmental conditions of urinary system (3)
a. Polycystic kidneys
b. Hypoplasia
c. Dysplasia
a genetic/developmental condition of urinary system; several cysts or enclosed sac like pouches that form in one or both of the kidneys causing them not to function properly
Polycystic kidneys
a genetic/developmental condition of urinary system; under development of a kidney. One or both of the kidneys are smaller than normal from birth. It was never of normal size
Hypoplasia
a genetic/developmental condition of urinary system; literally bad growth; a person has bad functioning kidneys. Abnormal development of a body (tissue) part or organ – in this case the kidneys, not functioning properly.
Dysplasia
types of Organ failure of the urinary system (2)
Acute renal failure
Chronic renal failure
Organ failure of the urinary system; sudden onset and short duration.
Failure to remove waste product from blood
Acute renal failure
Organ failure of the urinary system; slow onset and long duration.
Chronic renal failure
Postmortem conditions of diseases of the urinary system (5)
- Edema - in the kidneys
- Uremia - distinct odor from the body.
- Jaundice - due to kidney dysfunction.
- Dehydration - in other parts of the body - face.
- Odor: ammonia neutralizes formaldehyde; as such, stronger solution is needed for embalming. Indicates kidney failure.
DISEASES OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (10)
a. Endometritis
b. Endocervicitis
c. Salpingitis
d. Oophoritis
e. Vaginitis
f. Gonorrheal and chlamydial infection
g. Syphilis
h. Herpes infection
i. Ectopic pregnancy
j. Eclampsia
disease of female the reproductive system; inflammation of the innermost layer of the uterus
Endometritis
disease of the female reproductive system; inflammation of the endocervix, the innermost layer of the lower constricted neck-like portion of the uterus.
Endocervicitis
disease of the female reproductive system; inflammation of the fallopian tubes. Could cause a woman to become permanently sterile. Site of fertilization
Salpingitis
disease of the female reproductive system; inflammation of one or both of the ovaries. Could be a cyst, ovarian cancer, or excess scar tissue
Oophoritis
disease of the female reproductive system; inflammation of the vagina or birth canal
Vaginitis
(2) diseases of the female reproductive system; (leading reported) - sexually transmitted diseases.
NGU & NSU- most reported
Gonorrheal &
Chlamydial infection
disease of the female reproductive system; sexually transmitted disease, a spiral shaped bacteria
Syphilis
disease of the female reproductive system; - virus, sexually transmitted infection.
Herpes infection
disease of the female reproductive system; exterior, any time a fertilized egg plants itself in any part of the body other than the uterus. Most common is called a tubal ectopic pregnancy. Another place for an ectopic pregnancy would be the middle of peritoneum
Ectopic pregnancy
disease of the female reproductive system; the toxcemia of pregnancy that could occur in the last trimester of pregnancy. Does not always present itself, but if it does it causes coma, high blood pressure and death.
Eclampsia
Hyperplastic/neoplastic diseases of the female reproductive system (3)
Endometriosis
Dermoid cysts
Cancer
Hyperplastic/neoplastic diseases of the female reproductive system; a condition where the presence of endometrial tissue is in parts of the body other than the uterus.
Endometriosis
Hyperplastic/neoplastic diseases of the female reproductive system; an enclosed sack-like pouch contains tissue not normally found. a rare ovarian cyst that contains a waxy tissue and other structures not normally found - like teeth.
Dermoid cysts
Hyperplastic/neoplastic diseases of the female reproductive system; Lung cancer has surpassed breast cancer in women as the leading cause of death. Cervical cancer usually results in a hysterectomy
Cancer - breast or cervical
(3) Postmortem conditions of diseases of the female reproductive system
- Rapid blood coagulation
- Edema (ascites)
- Infection - a need to disinfect the body.

DISEASES OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Specific Diseases Inflammatory/degenerative (3)
Orchitis
Prostatitis
Hydrocele
DISEASES OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Specific Diseases Inflammatory/degenerative; inflammation of one or more of the testes.
Orchitis
DISEASES OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Specific Diseases Inflammatory/degenerative; inflammation of the prostate gland.
Prostatitis
DISEASES OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Specific Diseases Inflammatory/degenerative; excess edematous fluid in a saculated cavity, specifically the scrotum.
Hydrocele
DISEASES OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Hyperplastic/neoplastic (2)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
Carcinoma
DISEASES OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Hyperplastic/neoplastic; usually after 60 the prostate gland has enlarged in size due to the natural aging process.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
