Practical 4 Kaylee Flashcards
Urine production rate formula
(pee volume)/(amount of time it took to produce that volume since last void)
What is the normal amout of urine production
800-2000 mL/day
What are the effects on urine concentration and urine output if your blood is salty or you just drank V8?
Concentrated urine and decrease urine output
What are the effects on urine concentration and urine output if you drink excessive water and therefore your blood is diluted?
Diluted urine and increase urine output
What are the effects on urine concentration and urine output if you have too little blood from something like trauma?
Concentrate urine and decrease urine output
What are the effects on urine concentration and urine output if you have diabetes for example and you therefore have sugary blood?
Concentrated urine and increased urine output
What would you expect to see for caffeine, water, gatorade, and V8 on a Urine Production Rate graph?

What would you expect to see for caffeine, water, gatorade, and V8 on a specific gravity graph? What is specific gravity?
Specific gravity = concentration of solutes in urine

What would you expect to see for caffeine, water, gatorade, and V8 on a pH graph?

Label the gross anatomy of the macro-scale body

- Kidney
- Ureter
- Bladder
- Urethra

Is urine produced by the bladder?
No the kidneys
What squeezes out urine from the urinary system?
The bladder
Why is one kidney lower?
The liver is in the way
What is the function of the kidney?
- Blood filter
- Removal of metabolites
- Drug clearance
- Regulation of Blood pH
- Lungs directly regulate pH of blood
- GI indirectly regulates blood pH
- Water balance
- Retention and elimination
- Blood pressure
- Also renin and EPO
What is the function of the ureter?
Transport hose form kidney to bladder
What is the function of the bladder?
Urine reservoir and urine excretion pressure source
What is the function of the prostate?
Valve for urine excretion
What is the function of the urethra?
Exit hose from bladder to environment
What is not a function of the kidneys/something you shouldn’t see in urine normally?
KIdney doesn’t do protein clearance and you shouldn’t see protein in urine normally
What are the three general histology layers of the urinary tract?
- Muscosa
- Epithethium types: simple squamous, transitional, cuboidal
- Muscularis
- Inner longitudinal
- Outer circular
- Opposite than GI
- Adventitia
- No serosa

What are the three muscularis layers within the bladder?
- Inner longitudinal
- Middle circular
- Outer longitudinal
Why is there no mucosa in the general urinary histology?
No submucosa (important for vessels and nutrient absorption from lacteals) because we don’t need to absorb anything from urine after we have already produced it
Some vocab:
- Retroperitoneal=
- Renal=
- Filtration vs. Reabsorption vs. Secretion=
- Micturition vs. Urination=
- Ultrafiltrate vs. Urine=
- Non-pathologic=
- Capsule=
- Urethral vs. ureteral=
- Proximal vs. Distal=
- Convoluted=
- Vein vs. Artery=
- Retroperitoneal= Behind the peritoneum
- Renal= Kidney
- Filtration vs. Reabsorption vs. Secretion= All involve water and or solute movement
- Micturition vs. Urination= Production vs. expulsion
- Ultrafiltrate vs. Urine= initial filtrated substance in the nephron vs. what it finally becomes
- Non-pathologic= normal function
- Capsule= thin membrane surrounding organ
- Urethral vs. ureteral
- Proximal vs. Distal= close vs. far
- Convoluted= intricately folded
- Vein vs. Artery= blood to heart vs. blood away from heart
Label the transverse section of the abdomen
