Match each of the following disorders associated with the urinary system to its description. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right: chronic renal failure: condition also known as end-stage renal disease; kidneys no longer function properly due to long-term, irreversible damage proteinuria: condition caused by damage to glomerulus; results in the presence of protein in the urine acute renal failure: condition that results from short-term damage to the kidneys and is usually correctable; can be caused by low blood pressure, infections, or severe injuries kidney stones: condition that results from crystallization of minerals in urine; can block the flow of urine out of the body

1) Identify the components of the urinary system and describe the functions that they perform. 2) Describe the location and structural features of the kidney. 3) Describe the structures of the nephron and outline the processes involved in the formation of urine. 4) Describe the normal characteristics, composition, and solute concentrations of a representative urine sample. 5) Describe the structures and functions of the ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. 6) Discuss the voluntary and involuntary regulation of urination and describe the micturition reflex. 7) Explain what is meant by the terms "balance," "electrolyte balance," and "acid-base balance," and discuss their importance for homeostasis. 8) Explain how the body responds when the pH of body fluids varies outside normal limits. 9) Explain the basic concepts involved in the regulation of fluids and electrolytes.

Urinary excretion permits the body to get rid of the wastes produced by the organs. These wastes are carried by blood to the kidneys where they are eliminated in the form of urine. To determine the role of the kidney, the composition of blood entering and leaving the kidneys as well as the composition of urine are studied in a healthy individual. The obtained results are represented in the table below. Answer questions A - C below. Constituents (g/l) | Blood entering the kidney | Blood leaving the kidney | Urine Water | 920 | 900 | 950 Proteins | 80 | 80 | 0 Urea | 0.3 | 0.2 | 20 A. By referring to the table above, determine the components of urine. (2) B. Compare the level of urea in the blood entering the kidney to that in the blood leaving the kidney. What can you conclude? (2) C. Show, by referring to the table, that the kidneys do not eliminate proteins from blood.(1)
