What type of media is used in urine culture?
which media or both use for blood culture
What do you use the urinary system for and can you live without it?
The urinary system disposes of urine which is excess water and the liquid waste dissolved in it from your body. The main parts are the kidneys, where the urine is filtered out from the blood stream. The ureter which are tubes that carry the urine to the bladder where the urine is stored. The bladder connects to the urethra from which the urine leaves the body. Without medical intervention, if both kidneys fail to function, the waste material in the urine build up in the blood stream causing illness and death
What monosaccharides are formed upon hydrolysis?
glucose (the principal sugar found in blood, a hexose), and fructose (the principal sugar found in fruit, a pentose). Both of these monosaccharides have 6 carbons each, and an Oxygen atom in the ring.
How do glucagon and insulin work together?
Insulin is secreted when blood sugar rises. It works by stimulating receptors on tissue cells to escort glucose into the cells. It all suppresses glucagon, hormone-sensitive lipase (a hormone responsible for mobilizing and using fat stores) and suppresses the appetite centers in the brain. Glucagon is secreted when blood sugar is low. It triggers gluconeogenesis in the liver, which means that fats and proteins are converted into glucose and released into the blood. It also is responsible for mobilizing glycogen stores, suppresses insulin, and mobilizes fat stores. So glucagon and insulin not only do opposite things, they are antagonistic to each other, meaning when one is high the other one is low. They do not technically work "together". High levels of insulin are common in those who consume excessive calories and excessive carbohydrate foods. For those who are sensitive to the effects of insulin, this can cause reactive hypoglycemia and obesity.
Why is glucose not very good for storage?
In a cell, both starch and glycogen do not dissolve in water which is why they both are used for storage of energy. Whereas if glucose was stored in a cell as free molecules, the glucose would dissolve and reduce the water potential, not store the glucose.
What do blood and urine have in common?
Both blood and urine are made up of mostly water. So... Yeah, I just got that out of my science text book.
is frequent urination a diabetic symptom?
With uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, glucose concentration in the blood is high (hyperglycemia) and reabsorption of glucose by the kidneys will be incomplete. Therefore, some glucose will stay in the urine. The presence of glucose increases osmotic pressure of the urine and as a result, the kidney does not retain the water for the body's use, but releases it and in doing so increases urine production.
What happens when a person suffers from excessive thirst and urination and his urine contains excess glucose?
Excess glucose in urine is often referred to as "spilling glucose" (into the urine). Spilling glucose only happens in two situations: gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy), and both Diabetes I (juvenile) and Diabetes 2 (Adult onset). Spilling glucose is a silent sign. Excessive thirst, excessive urination are obvious symptoms that should lead a doctor to do urine and blood testing for Diabetes.
What is the two-stage process which nephrons help produce urine?
1. Both wastes and needed materials, such as glucose, are removed from the blood. 2. Much of the needed material is returned to the blood.
Clinistix and albustix?
Clinistix is a commercially available product for testing for of glucose in urine. It turns purple if glucose is present. Albustix is a commercially available product for testing for the presence protein in urine.
Can someone please explain diabetes in much detail?
diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar glucose levels, that result from defects in insulin secretion of action or both. diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes was identified as a disease associated with sweet urine and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. elevated levels of blood glucose hyperglycemia lead to spillage of glucose into urine, hence the term sweet urine. normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. insulin lowers the blood glucose level. when the glucose elevates insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level. in patients with diabetes, the absence of insufficient production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime. information found at: MediceNet.com
Can morphine be found in blood or urine?
Both.
Effect of saline on blood glucoes level?
In general not much correlation at all except in the kidneys. The kidneys will filter out both sodium and glucose but then reabsorb it later on in the tubules. When they get reabsorbed they do so together. If there is more glucose than sodium, then some of that excess glucose will get excreted in the urine bringing the overall blood glucose level down to about 140 mg/dl. That situation is frequently associated with diabetes mellitus.
What kind of doctor should a man see for blood in urine?
To evaluate blood in the urine, both men and women typically see a urologist.
What does pancreas secrete when blood glucose falls?
Pancreas detects blood glucose level by its cells called "Islets of Langerhans." When the blood glucose level is too high, it releases insulin. When it becomes too low, the pancreas then releases glucagon to elevate a low blood glucose.
What are method for measuring blood glucose?
fasting blood sugar and random blood sugar the are both determine by use of glucometer
What is the relation between whole blood glucose level and plasma glucose level?
Plasma makes up 55% of the volume of the blood. Glucose content in blood cells is different (smaller) than the glucose content in plasma. So the average glucose content in the whole blood is different from both (lies in between). To get an approximate plasma glucose value, multiply the whole blood value by 1.15.
