How do acute and chronic renal failure occur?

Occurs from the nephrons losing their ability to filter, reabsorb and excrete water, ions, and wastes

What it's the External Urethra Sphincters function in micturition?

Once we decide to void and/or urinate, the external urethral sphincter VOLUNTARILY opens

What are the subdivided parts of the renal corpuscle?

Bowmans capsule (glomerular capsule) Glomerulus

What is the Internal Urethral Sphincters function in micturition?

When the bladder wall stretches, nerve impulses are sent to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sacral segment which notifies the bladder to relax and INVOLUNTARILY opens the internal urethral sphincter

What are two reasons for women being more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI's)?

Woman are more susceptible to UTI's due to their urethra's being shorter than male counterparts, as well as the rectum being in closer proximity to the urethra

C. Minor calyces, major calyces, ureter, bladder

Which of the following is true of the urinary bladder? A. The walls of the bladder are composed of elastic fibres and involuntary smooth muscle B. When the bladder is empty, the wall of the bladder forms folds called rugae C. It contains an area called the trigone, which contains the openings for the two ureters, and the urethra D. All of the above are true of the bladder

D. All of the above are true of the bladder

D. Polycystic Kidney Disease

Which of the two sphincters of the bladder are voluntary?

External urethral sphincter

Majority of the reabsorption occurs in the distal convoluted tubule. True or false.

False

More specifically, how does chronic renal failure occur?

Form other pathological conditions like polycystic disease, infections, tumors, and diabetes

What are the two sphincters in the bladder?

Internal Urethral Sphincter (IUS) External Urethral Sphincter (EUS)

Which of the two sphincters of the bladder are involuntary?

Internal urethral sphincter

What are the subdivided parts of the renal tubule?

Proximal convoluted tubule Loop on henle (descending and ascending) Distal convoluted tubule Collecting duct

What are the two principle components of the nephrons?

Renal corpuscle Renal tubule

Where is the location of the internal urethral sphincter?

Sits at the inferior portion of the bladder

Which pathology is not considered a congenital type of pathology? A. Hydronephrosis B. Renal duplication C. Horseshoe kidney D. Renal Agenesis

A. Hydronephrosis

Identify the two types of renal failure that require dialysis or kidney transplant.

Acute renal failure and chronic renal failure are the two types of renal failures that can occur to the body

What is the difference between acute and chronic renal failure?

Acute renal failure is the sudden change of kidney functions usually from trauma, hemorrhage or burns Chronic renal failure is where the kidneys slowly loses it's function over time

What are the major constriction points of the ureters?

1. Ureteropelvic Junction - where the renal pelvis connects to the ureters 2. Brim of the pelvis - where the ureter crosses in front of the iliac blood vessel 3. Ureterovesical Junction - where the ureter joins the bladder

What is Posterior Urethral Valves?

A striction on the urethral valve that prevents the flow of urine out of the body/urethra

Explain where the female and male bladder sit in the pelvis.

The bladder sits anteriorly to the uterus in females, and sits above the prostate in men
