A
  • Toxic Condition

- Abnormally high levels of waste products in blood

25
Urea
Waste product excreted by kidneys when you urinate
26
Micturition
Urination. Process of excreting urine from the urinary bladder.
27
Homeostasis
Balance between elements in the body
28
Trigone
Triangular region or tissue, particularly the area at the base of the urinary bladder, between the openings of the ureters and urethra
29
Diuretic
To get rid of fluid/water (pill or medicine)
30
Uroliths
Urinary Stones
31
Enuresis

46
Lithiasis
Formation of stony concretions in body (urinary system)
47
Filtration
- Water & dissolved substances filter out of glomeruli into Bowman Capsule - Continuously in renal corpuscles
48
Reabsorption
-Movement of substances out of renal tubules into blood in surrounding capillaries
49
Secretion
Movement of substances into urine in the distal/collecting tubules from blood in surrounding capillaries
50
Functions of the urinary system
- Remove waste products and drugs from the body. - Balance the body's fluids. - Release hormones to regulate blood pressure. - Control production of red blood cells. - Producing, storing, and excreting urine
51
Body Parts that make up the Urinary System
- 2 kidneys - 2 ureters - Urinary Bladder - Urethra
52
What parts make up the renal corpuscle?
Glomerulus & the Bowmans Capsule
53
Where does filtration take place?
Inside the Bowman Space/Capsule which holds the Glomerulus
54
Ureter: function & location
- Carries urine from kidney to bladder | - Urine flows by waves of contractions that pass through the muscle layers
55
Urethra: function & location
carries urine from bladder to the outside of the body
56
Urinary Bladder: function & location
- Stores urine to allow urination to be infrequent and controlled - Above and behind pubic bone
