Urinary System

No, the kidneys do not remove carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is primarily removed from the body through the lungs during the process of respiration. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and regulating fluid balance.

Availability and the pig bladder has the extracellular matrix, so it can regenerate itself. There are hundreds of thousands of pigs, slaughtered every year for food. The bladders are not considered food, so they are thrown away. Which makes them readily available and cheap to obtain. Your liver is an organ that has the matrix and can regenerate itself, but operations are expensive and the donor might not survive the operation.

Ordinarily you have two ureters, one for each kidney.

However, you can have four uretres. It is a congenital abnormality, but it can happen statistically once every 160 person.

If you do have such abnormality, you have to check if you have frequent infections, fever, etc. Your uretres could not be connected to your bladder, thus this infection. The infection could be treated with antibiotics. Sometimes you could also undergo a surgery to connect your uretres to the bladder correctly.

the bacteria that often cause bladder infections make your urine acidic and that hurts. Taking URAL or other drinks that increase the alkalinity of your urine can help with symptoms but you have to kill the bacteria first and antibiotics from your doctor are the key.

The procedure to replace kidney function is called kidney transplant. This involves surgically placing a healthy kidney from a donor into a recipient with end-stage kidney disease.

The cortex of the kidney appears as dots due to the presence of numerous nephrons, which are the functional units responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Each dot represents a cluster of nephrons that work together to maintain proper kidney function.

Blood is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into a tubule that is also part of the nephron. The function of the glomerulus is to filter the resultant fluid that will become urine.

well the urethra gose down then the closed nex well that's it.

Transvesical ureterolithotomy through the bladder is a surgical procedure used to remove kidney stones that have traveled into the ureter. This involves making an incision in the bladder to access the ureter and remove the stones, helping to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications associated with kidney stones.

Yes, girls can pee much further than guys, but the problem is direction of stream.

The detrusor muscle is the main muscle within the bladder that contracts during urination to help expel urine. It is a smooth muscle that forms a triangular shape at the base of the bladder.

Vaginal specimens can be collected using a swab inserted into the vagina to collect a sample of cells and discharge. The swab is then placed in a transport medium for testing in a laboratory. It is important to follow proper collection procedures to ensure accuracy of test results.

Urethral specimens can be collected by inserting a swab into the urethra and rotating it, or by collecting a urine sample that includes the initial stream. These samples can be used for testing for infections or other conditions affecting the urethra.

No, palpation of the symphysis pubis is not a reliable method for assessing urinary retention. A more accurate way to assess urinary retention is through a focused history taking, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as ultrasound or bladder scan.

Emptying the bladder promptly prevents urinary tract infections, which can occur when urine sits in the bladder and bacteria have the chance to multiply. Holding in urine for too long can also weaken the bladder muscles over time, leading to issues such as incontinence or urinary retention.

If you mean "brighter" as in a very bright yellow color it could be from vitamins or medications you are taking. Have you started taking a new medicine or vitamin? It can change your urine color. Eating certain vegetables in large quantities can change the color as well as dehydration, not drinking enough fluids, specifically water. That would cause your urine to turn a deep, yellow color. Other variations of yellows or red-browns can be more serious. And of course any pain, burning, itching or swelling around the urethra or discharge should be cause for being seen by your family physician.

Yes, the sacral nerves play a crucial role in controlling bladder functions. These nerves are involved in communicating signals between the brain and the bladder to regulate urination. Damage or dysfunction of the sacral nerves can affect bladder control and may lead to urinary incontinence.

Undercooked kidney beans contain a toxin called phytohaemagglutinin, which can cause food poisoning-like symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Cooking kidney beans properly helps to break down and deactivate this toxin, making them safe to eat.

Tobacco use can lead to decreased kidney function, increased risk of kidney cancer, and impaired bladder function due to exposure to harmful chemicals and toxins in tobacco smoke. Additionally, smoking can contribute to the development of kidney stones and increase the risk of urinary tract infections.

Materials removed from the kidneys are urea and water sugar!

If by "like a boy", you mean standing up, they actually can. I've seen it

The renal hilum is a structure found posterior to the renal vascular pedicle. It is the area where the renal artery enters and the renal vein and ureter exit the kidney.

No.

Insulin is produced in the liver and stored in gall bladder.

Therefore, it is released by the gall bladder not the kidney.

On average, the human bladder can hold around 16-24 ounces of fluid, which is typically more than the volume of a juice box. A juice box typically holds around 6-8 ounces of liquid.

Your gallbladder isn't in your stomach. It is located near the liver, and stores the bile that the liver produces. If the size of the gallbladder increases, it might be an indication of a problem, and a doctor would be able to tell you whether you should have it removed.
