In men, the urethra opens at the tip of the penis, and the urethra is much longer than it is in women. Because of the length of the male urethra, urethral stricture is much more common in men.…

were required to provide urine samples three times in 60 minutes. This experiment was done to test urine volume, flow rate, total dissolved solids, and pH at each interval and record the differences in these variables depending on what each participant was asked to eat or drink. I hypothesized that the subjects asked to eat pretzels and drink soda would see an increase in total dissolved solids in their urine. In this experiment the 20 test subjects had to provide one urine sample at minute…

tested three different drinks, coke, gatorade, water and to compare the flow rate of urine. There were about 20 students that fasted 5 hours before time zero of the lab. 20 of the students were randomly assigned into the three groups, water, gatorade, and coke. The blood, glucose, ketones, protein, and the pH of the urine were tested with a used of the Labstix strips during the lab session. This measured the urine sample and showed different body conditions. The results of the Labstix showed…

amount of urine that passes out from the kidneys and they are often referred to as water tablets. It works by eliminating water and salt from the body through urination.
