THE URINARY SYSTEM

TO REMOVE WASTE, EXCESS WATER AND CERTAIN SALTS FROM THE BLOOD AND ELMINATE THEM FROM THE BODY

WHERE URINE AND WASTE IS CARRIED AFTER THE KIDNEYS PERFORM THEIR FUNCTION. THERE ARE TWO URETERS, ONE FOR EACH KIDNEY.

WHERE URINE IS EXPELLED FROM. THE BLADDER SENDS IT TO THE THE URETHRA AND IT IS EMPTIED.

4.5" LONG. WEIGHS ABOUT 1/4 LB

A CONDITION WHEN THE KIDNEY'S DROP. USUALLY OCCURING IN THIN PEOPLE.

CORTEX (OUTER LAYER) AND MEDULLA (INNER LAYER)

KIDNEYS

LIFE PRESERVING SERVICE OF THE KIDNEY. THEY ARE MICROSCOPIC UNITS

THE TOP, HOLLOW CAPSULE OF THE NEPHRON

EACH BOWMAN'S CAPSULE CONTAINS ABOUT 50 CAPILLARIES. THIS CLUSTER IS CALLED THE GOLERULUS.

ANYTHIGN THAT INCREASES THE VOLUME OF BLOOD IN THE CAPILLARIES INCREASES THE OUTPUT OF URINE. THE URINE OUTPUT DECREASES WITH A LESSENING OF BLOOD VOLUME.

STONES (KIDNEY)

THE OPENING OF THE URETHRA

ABSENCE OF URINE

PAIN ASSOSIATED WITH VOIDING

BLOOD IN THE URINE

HAVING TO URINATE AT NIGHT

SCANTY URINARY OUTPUT

EXCESSIVE URINATION

MECHANICAL PROCESS OF REMOVING WASTE FROM THE BLOOD. TYPICALLY DONE BY THE KIDNEYS

AN OPENING BETWEEN AN ARTERY AND A VEIN OR A "GRAFT" - A VEIN INSTERTED BETWEEN AND ARTERY AND A VEIN. SUGICALLY CONSTRUCTED FOR A NEEDLE SITE.

THE PATIENTS OWN PERITONEAL MEMBRANE IS USED TO CLEANSE THE BLOOD. CONTAINER HIDDEN UNDER CLOTHING

INFLAMMATION OF THE BLADDER

COMMON KIDNEY INFECTION, CAUSED BY BACTERIA

KIDNEY STONES - FORMED FROM CHEMICALS IN THE URINE, FORMING CRYSTALS THAT STICK TOGETHER.

THE END RESULT OF PROGRESSIVE LOSS OF KIDNEY FUNCTION

THE PRODUCTS NORMALLY FOUND IN THE URINE ARE INSTEAD IN THE BLOOD. WHEN RENAL FAILURE EXISTS, UREMIA IS INEVITABLE.
