Chapter 15 Objectives
Kidneys (pp. 456-468)
Describe the location of the kidneys in the body.
Identify the following regions of a kidney (longitudinal section): hilus, cortex, medulla, medullary pyramids, calyces, pelvis, and renal columns.
Recognize that the nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney and describe its anatomy.
Describe the process of urine formation, identifying the areas of the nephron that are responsible for filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
Describe the function of the kidneys in excretion of nitrogen-containing wastes.
Explain the role of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in the regulation of water balance by the kidney.
Explain the role of aldosterone in sodium and potassium balance of the blood.
Define polyuria, anuria, oliguria, and diuresis.
Describe the composition of normal urine.
List abnormal urinary components.
Ureters, Urinary Bladder, and Urethra (pp. 468-471)
Describe the general structure and function of the ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Compare the course and length of the male urethra to that of the female.
Define micturition.
Describe the difference in control of the external and internal urethral sphincters.
Name three common urinary tract problems.
Developmental Aspects of the Urinary System (pp. 471 and 473)
Describe three common congenital problems of the urinary system.
Describe the effect of aging on urinary system functioning.
