urothelium

18
Q

carris blood supply to the epithelium while holding the cells in place and binding them to the smooth muscle below

A

lamina propria

19
Q

its nerves respond to muscle flunctuations by squeezing and stretching to change the shape of the epithelium as needed

A

lamina propria

20
Q

responsible for the segmental contractions and peristaltic movements in the gastrointestinal tract

A

muscularis propria

21
Q

These are specialized cells found in the glomerulus.

A

Podocytes

22
Q

They form filtration slits that prevent large molecules and blood cells from passing into the filltrate while alllowing smaller molecules and water to pass through

A

Podocytes

23
Q

These cells line the renal tubules and play a crucial role in reabsorption and secretion processes.

A

Tubular Cells

24
Q

They are responsible for maintaining electrolyte balance, acid base balance and water blanace in the body

A

Tubular Cells

25
Q

These cells line the collecting ducts in the kidneys, where they help concentrate the urine by reabsorbing water and ions

A

Collecting Duct Cells

26
Q

These cells form the inner lining of the urinary tract, from the renal pelvis to the urethra. They help prevent infection and maintain a healthy urinary environment.

A

Urothelial Cells

27
Q

These cells are gound in the renal pelvis, ureters, and bladder. They have the ability to stretch and accomodate the varying volume of urine in the urinary tract

A

Transitional Cells

28
Q

These cells are found in the walls of the ureters, bladder, and urethra. They help proper urine through the urinary tract by contracting and relaxing in a coordinated manner

A

Smooth muscle cells

29
Q

These are infections that can happen anywhere along the urinary tract, including the bladder, kidneys, and tubes that connect them. They are usually caused by bacteria and can cause pain, frequent urination, and fever

A

Urinary Tract Infections

30
Q

These occus when a bladder infections ‘backs up’ the ureters

A

kidney infections

31
Q

These are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. They can cause sever pain and are often associated with urinary tract infections.

A

Kidney stones

32
Q

This condition involves the loss of bladder control, resulting in the involuntary leakage of urine. It can be cause by a variety of factors, including age, obesity, and certain diseases.

A

Bladder control problems (incontinence)

33
Q

This is a serious condition in which the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste from the blood. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including diabetes and high blood pressure.

A

Kidney failure

34
Q

This is a chronic condition causing bladder pressure, bladder pain and sometime pelvic pain. The pain ranges from mild discomfort to sever

A

Interstitial cystitis

35
Q

This is a genetic disorder that causes numerous cysts to grow in the kidney. These cysts are filled with fluid and can change the shape of the kidneys, reducing their function over times.

A

Polycystic kidney disease

36
Q

This is a progressive kidney disease caused by damage to the capillaries in the kidneys due to long-standing diabetes mellitus. It may take up to a decade after kidney damage begins for symptoms to appear

A

Diabetic nephropathy

37
Q

In men, this disease can make it difficult to empty the bladder

A

enlarged prostate

38
Q

This is usually caused by bacteria and can cause discomfort during urination

A

Bladder infection (cystitis)

39
Q

The entire blood supply is filtered around how many time?

A

20-25 times a day

40
Q

The bladder is capable of expanding and holding amount of urine with an average capacity of ?

A

400-600 mililiters in adults
