What do women pee in if there is no bathroom near by?
Yep this is a tricky one and many has wondered. If you are lucky there are bushes around. If you are in a car you stop and open the front and back door and sit in between, not on the traffic side of course. If you are in a store, say you are pregnant and really really has to pee. Ppl usually bend the rules then.

How do you help a female child urinate for a urinalysis?
1. take off your pants and underwear
2. sit on the toilet
3. spread your legs apart as far as they go
4. with your fingers on one hand, spread apart your lips
5. wipe across where you pee out of with the sterile wipes
6. pee just a tiny bit into the toilet
7. with the other hand, hold the cup up to where you pee out of
8. pee the rest in the cup
Just wipe with the sterile wipe they give you and sit on the toilet and pee into the cup. It's not that hard. If you have wiped and is clean you do not have to spread the labia, in fact you should not touch the area at all after you've wiped it. You can also pee into something else, as long as it's clean, if it's easier with something bigger, and then pour it over into the cup. You can even pee into a empty clean jam jar and bring it to the doctor and pour it over there. The cups used in hospitals are not sterile so the jar doesn't have to be, just clean.

Why does my Urine smells really bad?
Human urine does not typically have a strong smell. The first urination of the day (after first waking) will normally have a stronger odor than others, but a persistent, strong, disagreeable smell may be an indication of a health issue. However, it may also be related to diet; some foods contain compounds that are excreted in the urine and produce a foul smell (asparagus is a notable offender).
If this just started happening, and you haven't made any recent significant changes in your diet, you may want to see a physician to rule out any health concerns ... one thing that can cause foul-smelling urine is liver failure, which is a serious condition. ("The liver's important. You need it to live. Hence the name.")
Why is there protein in the glomerular filtrate and urine?
The inflammation would increase the permeability of your glomeruli. This retraction of the epithelium will allow the larger protein molecules to go through the filtrate.
Blood in urine is not a normal phenomenon which is a sign of many diseases, including urinary tract infection, kidney disease, enlarged prostate, etc. You should go to see a doctor as soon as you can if you notice blood in urine. Blood in urine caused by prostatitis or uti can be treated with Chinese herbal medicine called diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill.
Where does urine go when it exits the kidneys?
No where, because if your kidneys have shut down then they are not making any pee, so there is no pee to go anywhere.
What happens is fluid and impurities that are usually filtered out by the kidneys builds up in your blood, the extra fluid builds up in feet, legs and arms and eventually the person will die, unless they do dialysis.
What causes women to need to get up and urinate often during the night?
you could possibly have a bladder infection
Vegetarians, those that eat many vegetables and not too much protein have a urine pH closer to alkaline or basic to where the kidneys are not having to work hard at all.
The blood has to be 7.4 always. However, to have a urine pH that is higher than 7.4 is ok. One definitely would not want it to be lower. The more basic-- the better for your kidneys. For your body to break down excess protein, means your kidneys are having to process it's nitrogenous bi-products. & in order for the kidneys to help regulate pH to keep the blood at 7.4 they have to compensate much more.
What dual purpose tube that serves as the exit for seminal fluid and urine to leave the body?
The Urethra.
Which major organ is in the digestive and excretory?
If I remember my schooling they are the lungs, liver,kidneys and the skin. Each organ filters the blood to remove toxins.
What are the part important of urinary system?
the kidney usually just cleanses or washes out bacteria from most of the food you eat or something like that, the urinary system is kind of the same idea, its all of the waste from your body, everything has to come back out somehow.
What is the major function of the kidney?
They filter toxins from the blood The kidneys are trash collectors. Each day, your kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The waste and extra water become urine, which flows to your bladder through tubes called ureters. Your bladder stores urine until you go to the bathroom.
Hope that helps
Also called cystocele, occurs when the pelvic floor is damaged and the bladder sags, sometimes into the vaginal opening.
How many liters of water can kidney filtrate each day?
What hold urine are not the kidneys, which have the vital function of filtering the blood through renal corpuscles which is composed of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. The renal corpuscle (or Malphigian corpuscle) is the beginning of the nephron. It is the nephron's initial filtering component.
The bladder holds the urine, and can't hold so much urine like liters. The normal capacity is 400 to 600 ml.
Do girls pee a lot before there periods?
No, not for most girls, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Hormones play a large role in when a girl has her first period, and can also affect how her body reacts or feels during this time. Also, if the girl has cramps that are really bad, the pain itself can actually cause nausea or vomiting.
Just keep in mind that the vomiting may be caused by something completely unrelated, so if it lasts more than a day or two, you need to see your doctor.
Not really. The only real use is for hydration in a survival situation.Urine of a healthy person should be sterile as it leaves the body.
What would happen if the blood is not filtered?
If urine wasn't filtered in the kidney, the particles in the urine would cause your genitals to explode.
Whats wrong if it burns when you urinate an theres blood in your urine?
you need to see a doctor you might have a bladder infection or a urinary tract infection...good luck eh Depending on your gender, it can mean a couple of different things, but most likely you have a bladder infection or an STD from the venerial disease family. Go see a doctor as soon as you can for diagnosis and treatment. Most things that cause burning during urination aren't life threatening, but can become worse and can cause other problems, like infertility, or can leave you vulnerable to other diseases (some think that it's easier to catch other STDs if you already have one.) Make an appointment today.
Often, if you are experiencing pain/burning while urinating this is due to a change in the pH level of the urine. This can be caused by diet, but may also denote the presence of infection.
If infection is present, it could be a simple UTI (urinary tract infection), but it may be something more serious, such as a bladder or kidney infection, or possibly even an STD (sexually transmitted disease). It is always best to see your physician in order to have a simple test done, because prescriptions may be all that is required to clear the problem up.
