22
Q

Two slightly flattened tubes

23
Q

Location of the ureters

A

retroperitoneal

24
Q

How often does urine move to the bladder

A

every 10-30s

25
Location of the urinary bladder
Posterior to pubic symphysis
26
Capacity of the urinary bladder
600 mL
27
When is a signal sent to the CNS indicating a need to urinate?
When the bladder contains about 250mL
28
Stimulate internal sphincter muscles to relax
Sacral portions of the spinal cord
29
Connect with the bladder through openings in the floor of the bladder
ureters
30
Delivers urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body
urethra
31
External opening of the urethra
urethral orifice
32
Surrounds the urethra
internal urethral sphincter | external urethral sphincter
33
4 parts of the renal corpuscle
afferent arteriole glomerulus efferent arteriole Bowman's capsule
34
What happens in the Glomerulus
large molecules remains in the blood which small molecules leave blood
35
A sac around the glomerulus into which movie the small molecules filtrated out of the blood at the glomerulus
Glomerular capsule
36
Twisted tube in the cortex of the kidney that connects the glomerular capsule to the descending loop of Henle
Proximal convoluted tubule
37
A tube that descends from the proximal convoluted tubule into the medulla
Loop of Henle
38
Where NaCl is reabsorbed into peritubular capillaries, which allows for reabsorption of water into capillaries
Loop of Henle
39
Absorbs molecules actively secreted from the peritubular capillaries
Distal convoluted tubule
40
Large tubule in the medulla
Collecting duct
41
Site of reabsorption of water into peritubular capillaries
Collecting duct
42
Analyzes the composition of urine to aid in determining the health of body
Urinalysis
43
What is the normal pH of urine
4.6-8.0
44
Pigments that give urine its yellow color from RBC breakdown
Urochromes
45
Blood in urine
Hematuria
46
What goes glucose in urine indicate?
too high levels of glucose in blood
47
What does albumin in the blood indicate?
damaged glomerulus
48
Hard objects formed in the kidneys formed by calcium
Kidney stones
49
Inability to prevent discharge of urine
urinary incontinence
