Urinary system

The urinary system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder and a urethra. The kidneys are bean shaped structures that filter blood and collect waste to form urine. The ureter which are like two tubes carry the formed urine to the bladder which hold the urine until it has been expelled through the urethra. A urinary tract infection is an infection which can happen anywhere along the tract. Most infections usually occur along the lower tract however it can spread to kidneys which can be…

1.15E-Identify the basic function and organs of the urinary system and the digestive system The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The urinary system’s basic function is to filter out waste and other materials from the bloodstream that are then transferred out of the system in the form of urine. Please refer to page 944 in the textbook for a complete picture diagram. • Kidneys: We normally have two kidneys; these kidneys measure 4 to 5 inches each.…

The respiratory system, urinary system, and digestive system make up the three maintenance systems, which aid the body by keeping the conditions of its fluids stable and constant. Each system keeps the body stable by adding and/or removing substances from the body. The respiratory system uses the trachea, lungs, tubes such as the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli, and the diaphragm to transport gases into, throughout, and out of the body to maintain a stable internal environment. The respiratory…

The urinary system functions to removes wastes from the blood and the kidney is known for filtration and absorbing water. The urinary system consists of a renal corpuscle (glomerulus and bowman’s capsule), a proximal tubule, a loop of Henle, and a distal tubule. The kidney filters about 180 liters and gets rid of about 1.5 liters as urine. Renal clearance is a measurement that analyzes the activity and efficiency of the kidney; it is the volume of plasma need for the kidney to complete remove a…

water, certain electrolytes, and various waste products that are filtered out of the blood system. due to the kidneys filtration system big molecules, blood, and different ions are not supposed to leave the body, so their presence during analysis can indicate abnormality. The urinary system is responsible for maintain the fluid hemostat of the body, it is consisting of many organs: some are kidney, ureter urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidney is the organ that is responsible of making urine…

The kidneys are a very important part of the body, located in the urinary system, that filters waste product from the blood. When the kidneys lose their ability to filter this waste from the blood, a disorder known as acute renal failure, also called acute kidney failure or injury. Concerning amounts of waste can accumulate due to this disorder, and can become fatal. Although this disease is very serious and life-threatening, acute renal failure progresses within a few hours or days. Kidney…

Urinalysis is mostly a labor process used to observe urine at a microscopic level (Ben-Ezra, 1998). In the urinalysis, one of the experiments conducted was observing the physical characteristics of the urine sample. The physical characteristics included the color, transparency, odor, and pH level. Observing and determining the color, transparency, odor, and pH of urine can tell the person’s diet and possibly if there might be a bodily issue going on (Gutierrez, 2014). For the first physical…

To be ethical, in terms of biological research and using new biological technologies, means that science should not offend any groups of people by doing something that angers them. To be ethical means to try and satisfy as many groups as possible, and to try and not anger as many groups as possible. Some advancements in biological technology are truly great, but if they are wrong, the public will oppose them and any discovery will not be taken into action. It is vital to always conduct…

THE MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM. Naturally the ultimate goal for all living organisms on earth is the preservation and continuity of their kind. This is achieved through reproduction. Reproduction or procreation is the biological process through which organisms give rise to new individuals referred to as offspring (Silverstein, Silverstein, & Silverstein, 2010). It is in two forms namely; asexual and sexual. Sexual reproduction is the most common, advanced and more…

that mammalian kidneys are similar. Experiment Background: The urinary system is one of the biggest and the most important system in human body which contains two kidneys, two ureters, urinary bladder, and one urethra. This system is in charge of two basic functions. One is to remove nitrogenous wastes from the body, and the other one is to maintain the ion, pH, and water levels in the blood. One of the products made by this system is urine, which is a yellowish fluid containing water, and…
