Kidneys- The kidneys function to filter both toxins and additional not needed water. Kidneys have tons of nephrons which are tiny filters. A nephron is made up of two parts which are the glomerulus and the tubule. The glomerulus filters large molecules and blood cells from liquids and toxins. Then the filtered liquids and toxins go to the tubules. The tubule filters out more toxins missed from the glomerulus. It also gathers minerals and releases them back into the bloodstream. During the…

used for our body to produce urine as a way to help our system to get rid of waste and extra water that we do not need. It travels through a urinary tract that includes the kidneys, ureters, the bladder and the urethra. The kidneys are two bean shaped organs that filter the waste from the blood and produce urine. The ureters are two thin tubes the move the urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder is an organ sac that holds the urine until it is time to leave the body through…

a retrograde pyelography and an antegrade pyelography? Retrograde pyelography is an invasive inspection of the kidneys from a distal way through the ureters. It has been used as a primary method infrequently, but it has a few probable signals when it can be a secondary method. Retrograde pyelography is mostly used to examine lacerations of the ureter. It generally necessitates a universal painkilling, and may end in the introduction of germs. The test can help discover what is the basis of the…

highly concentrated, which allow the minerals and salts to stick together and form the stone (Mayo Clinic. The picture below from the New York Times, shows where kidney stones are usually formed, in the major calyces, where they then travel down the ureter, where it usually becomes painful (NYT). There are several objectives to this experiment: first, making artificial kidney stones that would resemble ones made in the body, and second, see what kind of things help to dissolve…

because it prevents the buildup of waste materials and extra fluid in the body as well as keeping levels of electrolytes stable. The parts of the urinary tract are the kidneys, ureters, and the bladder. The kidneys filter around 120-150 quarts of blood and produce around 1-2 quarts of urine every day (Lynch & Wein 2014). The ureters, thin tubes of muscle one both sides of the bladder, carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder is where urine is stored until it can be voided. The…

generates a shcok wave at the stone within the kidney or ureter. The waves are transmitted in a water bath or through a water filled cushion. The repeated force of shock waves breaks the stones into very tiny pieces. A patient is usually under heavy sedation or general anesthesia. Cystine stones and Calcium oxalate monohydrate stones are resistant to this type of treatment. Ureteroscopy is another form of treatment. A ureteroscope progressing up the ureter through the bladder. It has a…

When urine travels down to the ureters and carry urine down pass through the bladder. The bladder store the urine and when the bladder is full will pass through the urethra tube and then the urine leaves the body. The end of the urethra of male called penis and the female called vagina…

URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS Abstract UTI is one of the most common infection to affect people all around the world in today's world, putting a huge load on the health care system cost wise. Because this problem is so common and so significant in routine clinical practice, a high level of diagnostic accuracy is essential. The urinary tract infection (UTI) which involves urethra, bladder or kidneys can be infected, the majority of UTI are not serious and can be treated by antibiotics but if not…

I will be focusing on the Kidney Cancer, but to understand Kidney Cancer, one needs to know about the systems it resides in. Starting from the Endocrine System, to the Urinary System, then to the Kidneys. The Endocrine System is made up of glands in an organism that secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system. The hormones that the glands secrete, help to regulate very important internal processes. The processes that they regulate are, growth and development, equilibrium through out…

Purpose: The kidneys are a very important organ responsible for removing nitrogenous waste in the body. Every day, the kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid. To understand how this amazing organ works, it‘s important to explore and learn about each component. This dissection of kidney is a great opportunity to earn first hand on experience with the kidney and understand it role in the unary system.…
