ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++
Stress, urge, overflow, and mixed
4 major types of urinary incontinence
Functional, transient, and unconscious
3 minor types of urinary incontinence
Kidney
-2
-most important organ of excretion
Ureter
-2
-carry urine from the renal pelvis to the bladder
-valve is present to prevent reflux of urine into kidneys
Bladder
-temporary reservoir or storage for urine
-hollow organ made of smooth muscles
Urethra
carries urine from bladder to outside of body
5-7 inches
male urethra length
1.5-2.5 inches
,female urethra length
Internal sphincter
under involuntary control
External sphincter
under voluntary control allowing a person to choose when to void
Renal cortex
outer region of the kidney
Medulla
inner/deeper region of the kidney
Renal pelvis
-open area in the middle of the kidney
-funnel shaped, opens to end of ureters
Kidneys
-regulates fluid volume concentration and pH of body fluids
-regulates fluid and electrolytes
-removes waste/detoxification and elimination of waste products
-controls BP
-RBC production/regulation (secretion) of erythropoiesis
-synthesis of prostaglandins and renin
-metabolism of vitamin D
-acid/base regulation
Anemic
, kidneys produce red blood cells so your pt with kidney disease is usually ______ for this
reason
Nephrons
-approx. 1 million per kidney
-basic structural and functional units of the kidney
-remove end products of metabolism and form urine
-maintain and regulate fluid balance through selective reabsorption and secretion
Anti-diuretic hormone
released when you are volume depleted
Aldosterone
causes Na reabsorption
Capillaries
nephrons have ___________ that remove wastes but will not allow plasma proteins or
blood cells to be removed from the blood; this is the initial step of urine formation
Urine
hormones such as ADH and aldosterone affect the reabsorption of Na and water,
thereby influencing the amount of _____ formed
Fluid
-despite the amount of ______ or food consumed, the body's _____ composition
remains the same if you have functioning kidneys
-the _____ volume is regulated by controlling the amount of water excreted in urine
Erythropoietin
hormone produced by the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels
