About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "The Urinary System”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about the urinary system which is responsible for filtering waste products and excess water from the blood and expelling them from the body in the form of urine. The primary organs of the urinary system are the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, just below the rib cage. They are responsible for filtering the blood and removing waste products and excess water. The filtered blood is then returned to the body through the renal vein. The kidneys also play a role in regulating blood pressure and producing hormones that stimulate the production of red blood cells.

The ureters are narrow tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. They transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder using peristaltic contractions of smooth muscle in their walls.

The bladder is a muscular sac located in the pelvis that stores urine until it is expelled from the body through the urethra. When the bladder is full, it sends a signal to the brain, which triggers the urge to urinate.

The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. In males, the urethra also serves as a passage for semen during ejaculation.

The urinary system is essential for maintaining proper bodily function and eliminating waste products from the body. Dysfunction of the urinary system can lead to a range of health problems, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and kidney failure.

Slide 1-

1 Urinary System Urethra The Urinary System Kidney Ureter Bladder
Slide 2-

2 Objectives Objectives After studying this chapter, you will be able to: Name the parts of the urinary system and discuss the function of each part Define combining forms used in building words that relate to the urinary system Identify the meaning of related abbreviations Name the common diagnoses, clinical procedures, and laboratory tests used in treating disorders of the urinary system
Slide 3-

3 Objectives Part 2 Objectives cont'd List and define the major pathological conditions of the urinary system Explain the meaning of surgical terms related to the urinary system Recognize common pharmacological agents used in treating the urinary system
Slide 4-

4 Structure and Function Structure and Function The Urinary System Also called the excretory system Maintains water balance Removes waste products from the blood by excreting them in the urine
Slide 5-

5 Kidneys Structure and Function Kidneys The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the retroperitoneal portion of the abdominal cavity on either side of the vertebral column. Two Primary Functions To form urine for excretion To retain essential substances the body needs in the process called reabsorption
Slide 6-

6 Parts of the Kidney Structure and Function kidney Kidneys filter about 1700 liters of blood daily in the average adult. Parts of the kidneys Cortex -outer protective portion Medulla -inner soft portion Hilum -a depression located in the middle of the concave side of the kidney where blood vessels, nerves, and the ureters enter and exit the kidneys cortex medulla hilum
Slide 7-

7 Urine Production Structure and Function Urine is produced by filtration of: water salts sugar urea creatine uric acid Each kidney contains more than 1 million nephrons which are the functional units of the kidneys. Blood Flow through the Kidneys Blood enters through the renal artery arterioles Each arteriole leads to a nephron renal corpuscle (which has a group of capillaries called the glomerulus) The glomerulus filters fluid from the blood, and is the first place where urine is formed in the kidneys.
Slide 8-

8 Structure and Function Structure and Function Blood flows through the glomerulus at a constant rate. Each glomerulus is surrounded by a capsule known as Bowman’s capsule. Blood then passes into the renal tubules where some substances are reabsorbed and the remaining become urine. Urine Flow Blood Flow Glomeruli
Slide 9-

9 Flow of Urine Structure and Function Flow of Urine glomerulus renal tubules renal pelvis renal calices ureters The renal tubules carry urine to ducts in the renal cortex. Renal cortex Renal capsule Renal medulla Ureter Renal vein Renal artery Nephron Filtered blood exits the kidneys via the renal vein.
Slide 10-

10 Ureters Structure and Function Ureters A tube approximately 6 to 7 inches long attached to each kidney Made up of three layers of tissue -smooth muscle -fibrous tissue -mucous layer Peristalsis, a rhythmic contraction of the ureter smooth muscle which helps to move the urine into the bladder.
Slide 11-

11 Urinary Bladder Structure and Function Urinary Bladder Hollow, muscular organ that stores urine Sphincter muscles hold the urine in place Holds 300 to 400 milliliters of urine before emptying Walls contain epithelial tissue that stretch to allow the bladder to hold twice its capacity The trigone is a triangular area at the base of the bladder where the ureters enter and the urethra exits Urethra Prostate gland Ureter Urinary bladder
Slide 12-

12 Urethra Structure and Function Urethra A tube of smooth muscle with a mucous lining that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Female Urethra Male Urethra Approximately 1.5 inches long Opens through the meatus Approximately 8 inches long Passes through three different regions: -prostate gland -membranous portion -penis Excreting urine is called voiding or micturition

19 Diagnostic, Procedural & Laboratory Terms Diagnostic, Procedural and Laboratory Terms Urologists are physicians who specialize in disorders of the male and female urinary tracts, and the male reproductive system. Common Tests Urinalysis Examination of the urine for its physical and chemical properties Obtained from clients who fill a specimen container or by urinary catheterization Characteristics of Urine Normal urine is straw-colored and clear Normal specific gravity (SG) range is from 4.5 to 8.0 Specific gravity measures the amount of wastes, minerals and solids present in the urine
