Question

Using anatomical terms and medical terminology, describe the urinary process and name two conditions that affect the urinary system. Please write clearly thank you

Answer 1

Urinary process

           * The process of formation of urine include three steps

                           * Glomerular filtration.

                           * Tubular reabsorption.

                           * Tubular secretion.

Glomerular filtration

            * Kidney is the organ in the body to filtration blood for removal waste substances and

               formation of urine.functional unit of kidney is known as nephron.

            * Nephrons consis of glomerulus which is a network of capillaries surrounded by a cuplike

              structure known as bowmans capsule.

            * When the blood flows through the glomerulus due to blood pressure water and solutes in

               the blood enter into capsule through capillary membarine.

Tubular reabsorption

            * In this phase filtrate formed after glomerular filtration enter into the renal tubules and

               it's 99% reabsorbed through active or passive processes into the blood circulation.

Tubular secretion

             * In tubular secretion movement of materials from blood enter into the tubular fluid occur

               and the secreted irons combined with remaining filtrate result in formation of urine.

             * The urine formed during tubular secretion flows out of the renal tubules via collective

                 duct.

             * From the collective duct urine flows through renal pelvis into ureters of the renal system.

             * Ureters carry urine to the urinary bladder from the urinary bladder urine expelled out

                of the body through urethra.

* Name of two conditions which affect urinary system

               1. Acute glomerulonephritis

                          * It is the acute inflammation of glomerulus due to certain infections and systemic

                            disorders.

               2. Nephrotic syndrome

                         * It is a primary glomerular disease characterized by proteinuria,hypoalbuminemia,

                           edema,high serum cholesterol and hyperlipidemia.
