Urine

incontinence Temporary or transient incontinence is a short-lived episode of loss of control over the escape of urine…

ducts. The collecting ducts will transport urine back through the concentration gradient and back through the nephron loop. The walls of the collecting duct are permeable to water, not sodium. Through osmosis more water is drawn out. ADH determines the the permeability of the collecting ducts resulting in less urine secretion and more concentration. Less ADH results in less concentration of urine and more volume. Micturition, meaning urination. Once urine is produces as stated above it then…

bacterium gets into the urine and gets in the bladder also. How the urinary system works The urinary system has three main functions. 1. Excretion and removing waste products and other elements from the blood. 2. Secretion to produce the urine. 3. Elimination to empty the urine from the bladder…

Glomerulonephritis is when the glomeruli are inflamed. The disease can be acute or chronic and it can be a primary or secondary form of glomerulonephritis, depending on how the glomerulonephritis is caused (Mayo Clinic, 2014a). Nephrotic syndrome is when the urine has too much protein in it, causing the feet and ankles to have edema. This occurs when the waste and excessive water is filtered through blood vessels that are damaged (Mayo Clinic, 2014b). Nurses need to know the different symptoms,…

captive carnivorous species is fairly rare. Eurasian otters suffer from urolithiasis in the wild at 23.4% and in captivity at 69.2%. They mainly form ammonium urate calculi primarily in the kidney. These calculi usually form because the pH in the urine is above 5.75. This causes the dissociation of uric acid to urate which is not easily soluble in mammals. The study conducted to test the…

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…

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…

Normally the first symptom is severe pain, caused by the stone blocking the urine flow. The pain is usually sudden and occurs when the stone is moving down the urinary tract causing blockage or irritation. Sharp pain in the back and side or lower abdomen is associated with stones. Sometimes the pain may descend down the groin area. Nausea and vomiting may also occur. There may be blood in the urine due to the stone moving or growing. As the stone travels downward towards the bladder a…

bladder infection, ( which is in the urinary system) include urinary frequency, urgency, painful urination, pain above the pubic region, WBC’s, and bacteria in urine. Symptoms of a kidney infection, (which is caused after a UTI doesn’t get treated quickly enough) come with side pain, high fever, malaise, white blood counts, and bacteria in urine. Urinalysis is usually the first diagnostic test done after a patient presents their medical history…

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…
