  1. Chapter 6: Urinary System Medical Terminology

  2. Chapter 6 Abbreviations • ARF • CRF • GFR • UTI • BUN • cath • cysto = acute renal failure = chronic renal failure = glomerular filtration rate (most common number used to DX renal failure) = urinary tract infection = blood urea nitrogen = catheter = cystoscopy

  3. Chapter 6 Abbreviations • IVP • KUB • Ua, UA • FUO • GU • I&O = intravenous pyelogram = kidneys – ureter – bladder = urinalysis = fever of undetermined origin = genitourinary = intake and output (only measures liquids)

  4. The Urinary System • The Function • Removes waste material from the body, regulates fluid volume, and maintains electrolyte concentration in the body fluid • Consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra

  5. The Urinary System • Organs of the urinary system • Kidneys • Two bean-shaped organs located on each side of the vertebral column on the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity behind the parietal peritoneum. • Their function is to remove waste products from the blood and to aid in maintaining water and electrolyte balance

  6. The Urinary System • Parts of the Kidney • Nephron: urine-producing microscopic structure. (Approx. 1 million nephrons located in each kidney) • Glomerulus: cluster of capillaries at the entrance of the nephron. (Process of filtering blood/producing urine begins here) • Renal pelvis: funnel-shaped reservoir that collects the urine and passes it to the ureter • Hilum: indention on the medial side of the kidney where the ureter leaves the kidney

  7. The Urinary System • Ureters • Two slender tubes, approx. 10-13 in. long, that receive the urine from the kidney and carry it to the posterior portion of the bladder • Urinary Bladder • Muscular, hollow organ that temporarily hold the urine. As it fills, the thick, muscular wall becomes thinner, and the organ increases in size

  8. The Urinary System • Urethra • Lowest part of the urinary tract, through which the urine passes from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. This narrow tube varies in length by sex. (~1.5 in. in females, ~ 8 in. in males) • In males, it is also part of the reproductive system, as it carries seminal fluid at the time of ejactulation • Urinary meatus • Opening through which the urine passes to the outside
