- 1What are the three major reason for urinalysis?Screening (drug use, pregnancy)
Diagnosis (disease)
Management and Planning (disease and treatment) - 2What shouldn't be present in urinalysis?Protein, Red blood cells, White blood cells, Microorganisms, Glucose, Ketone bodies
- 3What is Proteinuria?When protein is present in urine.
Normally a sign of the breakdown of basement membrane in the Bowman's capsule. - 4Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)Cysts form on the kidney tubules.
Tubule cells die - renal function decreases.
Eventually lead to renal failure. - 5What are the metabolic regulations of the liver ?Storage of fat soluble Vitamins.
Protein metabolism.
Processing drugs.
Carbohydrate metabolism.
Activation of vitamin D.
Lipid metabolism. - 6GlycogenolysisConversion of glycogen into glucose.
- 7GluconeogenesisConversion of amino acids, lactic acid and other sugars into glucose.
- 8GlycogenesisConversion of glucose into glycogen for storage.
- 9How do Hepatocytes metabolize lipids ?Synthesize cholesterol and use it to make bile salts.
Store lipids when levels are high.
Synthesizes lipoproteins for the transport of cholesterol, fatty acids and triglycerides.
Generate ATP through breakdown of fatty acids. - 10How do Hepatocytes metabolize protein?Deaminate amino acids (remove amino group). These can then be converted to carbohydrate or fats.
Synthesize plasma proteins. - 11JaundiceA build up of bilirubin causing yellowing of sclera, skin and mucous membranes.
- 12CirrhosisReplacement of lobules by fibrous tissue.
This causes the normal vascular pattern of the liver to be disrupted. - 13Functions of the urinary systemExcretion.
Elimination.
Homeostasis. - 14What are rugae?Folds in the mucosa lining of the bladder.
They disappear as the bladder fills. - 15What are the three layers of tissue in the urinary bladder?Mucosa,
Intermediate muscularis,
Adventitia - 16What is the micturition reflex?The coordination of urine.
