24
Q
the funnel shaped reservoir that is the basin of the kidney is the
A
renal pelvis
25
inability to control urine is
enuresis
26
azoturia
increase of nitrogenous substances
27
diuresis
increased formation and secretion of urine
28
dysuria
painful or difficult urination
29
end-stage renal disease
kidneys can no longer filter blood; requires dialysis or renal transplantation; chronic renal failure
30
enuresis
inability to control urine
31
hypospadias
abnormal congenital opening of the male urethra
32
interstitial nephritis
may be due to toxic agents, results in the destruction of nephrons and severe renal impairment
33
renal hypertension
high blood pressure that results from renal disease
34
uremia
elevated level of urea and nitrogenous waste in the blood; azotemia
35
Wilms tumor
malignant neoplasm of the kidney, occurs in young children
36
blood urea nitrogen
test that measures the amnt of urea in the blood and demonstrates the kidneys filtering level
37
kidney, ureter, bladder
radiographic exam of the to determine location, size, shape, and malformations of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder
38
pyelography
radiographic study of the kidney, ureters, bladder, after injection of a contrast agent
39
intravenous pyelography
radiographic imaging, contrast medium is injected and x rays are taken; intravenous urography; excretory urography
40
retrograde pyelography
radiographic imaging, contrast medium is introduced through a cystoscope directly into the bladder
41
renal scan
nuclear medicine imaging procedure, determines renal function by measuring radioactive substance that concentrates the kidney
42
urinalysis
evaluation of urine
43
voiding cystourethography
radiography of the bladder and urethra during the process of voiding urine
44
catheterization
insertion of a catheter into a body cavity
45
dialysis
mechanical filtering process to cleanse blood, draw off excessive fluids, regulate body chemistry
46
hemodialysis
removing excess fluids and toxins of the blood by diverting the blood from body to a dialysis machine for filtering
47
peritoneal dialysis
dialysis which patients own peritoneum is used to be the dialyzing membrane
48
renal transplantation
kidney transplant
49
antispasmodics
agents that decrease spasms in the urethra and bladder
50
microscopic filtering units responsible for homeostasis
nephrons
51
expels urine from the body
urethra
52
azot/o
nitrogenous compound
53
act of avoiding urine
micturition
54
lumen
tubular space within a structure
55
ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the
bladder
56
vesic/o
bladder
57
glomerul/o
glomerulus
58
nephr/o
kidney
59
ren/o
kidney
60
pyel/o
