Discuss where the filtration of the blood for the production of urine occurs.
glomerulus
-
State where reabsorption of useful substance in the filtrate occurs.
in the renal tubules and collecting ducts
-
Discuss how urine volume is regulated.
- Urine volume is regulated primarily by ADH.
- When blood volume decreases, the concentration of salts increases; this change is sensed by the hypothalamus, which in turn stimulates the posterior lobe of the pituitary to release ADH. ADH travels to the collecting ducts where the ADH makes the walls permeable to water. Consequently, more water is reabsorbed into the bloodstream instead of being excreted, and urine
- volume decreases.
-
Track the flow of urine from the glomerulus to outside the body.
- 1)Glomerulus
- 2)Bowman's Capsule
- 3)Proximal convoluted tubule

What is a transurethral resection(TUR) and when is it used?
- Transurethral resection (TUR) of the bladder is a surgical procedure that is used both to diagnose
- bladder cancer and to remove cancerous tissue from the
- bladder. This procedure is also called a TURBT (transurethral resection for bladder tumor).
- General anesthesia or spinal anesthesia is usually
- used. During TUR surgery, a cystoscope is passed into the bladder through the urethra. A tool called a resectoscope is used to remove the cancer for biopsy and to burn away any remaining cancer cells.
