What is the medical term meaning pertaining to the connection between the ureter and bladder?
There is no such medical term. The kidneys are connected to the bladder by the ureters and this is normal anatomy
What if you pee in your pants?
Accidental loss of urine (called incontinence) can mean you have a bladder infection, but also it could be from being scared, holding it in too long and / or drinking to much.
Many adult women have incontinence after having children, or after a decrease in hormones during menopause.
Alcoholics can also have bedwetting as adults because of the sedative effects on the brain from alcohol plus direct effects on bladder tissue.
If you have an incontinence problem, you'll want to see a urologist.
What does it mean when you have foam bubbles in your pee?
The foam is from the small amount of proteins in your urine. If your urine foams excessively, you may want to get checked by a doctor. Excessive amounts of foam means excessive proteins in your urine and this is not good.
first of all what kind of freak wold ask this question and second pee is liuquid and poo is smelly solid .
How long can a pee sample detect steriods?
Steroids WILL NOT show up on urine tests, only blood tests
Normal and abnormal constituents of urine?
Normal constituents of urine
Protein: In normal condition we excrete 20-80 mg protein in a day. But when albumin and globulin are found in illness condition then it is called Proteinuria. When a patient is suffering from nephritis, nephrosis, leucomia then excess amount of protein is detected in urine.
Glucose: When the amount of glucose is increased in urine and the urine is capable to reduce the Benedict's reagent and Feeling's reagent then the condition is called Glucosuria.
CARBOHYDRATES OTHER THAN GLUCOSE : Other carbohydrates like fructose, lactose, galactose may be appeared in the urine due to different reasons. If those are detected then the conditions are called fructosuria, lactosuria and galactosuria respectively.
Fat: In normal healthy condition human urine does not contain any fat. But during heavy Diabetes or due to over drinking of alcohol or due to intake of rich fish liver oil lipids are detected in the urine.
High levels of ketones in the blood can lead to diabetes insipidushigh pH of urine or acidosis.?
acidosis
Does hot water or cold water make you pee when you are slepping?
Because there pee is warm and so is the water.
this causes a bladder reaction which results with urine.
contributed gasses may be included.
result will vary depending on the bladder size.
my brothers bladder is huge therefor when this experiment was constructed he wet his bad immensity
Thank you for your time.
That's disgusting. Itll probably leave stains. Idk try taking blatter control meds.
What is the average urine input and output of a normal person daily?
It depends on the activity level and other factors. The "eight glasses of water a day" recommendation that everyone needs at least eight glasses of water a day is a myth. Fluid intake (including the moisture content of food) should equal the amount of liquid lost during the day, from perspiration, expiration and urination. During times of physical exertion or warm weather, people should take extra care in remaining hydrated. Elderly people sometimes have difficulty regulating their fluid consumption and should take additional care in making sure they remain hydrated during hot times, as they are also more frail and susceptible to heat stroke.
Why is urine yellow on a hot dry day?
this is my first wikianswer, so dont quote me or anything.
its something to do with the bile pigments that pass through the dogestive system
into the nephron and through the filtrate
to the ureta and then the urethra and then you pee it out.,
not sure what its got to do with a hot dry day,
probably low hydration,
and therefore high release of Antidiurectic Hormone
something like that... hope it hleps.
How do you control bladder at night?
well just so you know if you lose control youll never be able to control it again but anyway start peeing to bed at night, pee in public or around home. then
explain that you feel you have lost control of your bladder. tell
her that wearing diapers would help control your problem. act
all devistated about the idea of wearing diapers, but slowly act
as if you are beginning to accept wearing diapers. you have to
make sure to wear them like I do, 24/7- 365 days a year. soiling
them often will convince your parents that you cannot control
your bladder and, wearing diapers is a good control method.tell
them that you did not choose to lose control of your bladder,
and that they need to support you. make it as convincing as you
possibly can... if you are persistant you may be successful, but
once you start wearing diapers, you may always have to wear
them because you will eventually will lose all control over your
bladder for real and then there is no turning back. when you
become an adult, you will have to asume the full responsibility
of purchasing your diapers. they are expensive.... you may even
along with diapers, end up using a catheter to drain your urine.
this is no joke. i know alot of people who started wearing
diapers, because they loved wearing them and ended up having
to catheterize daily if not multiple times a day for the rest of their
lives. i lost control of my bladder because I have Spina Bifida,
and I have no choice to wear diapers every day. all I say is make
sure you have a plan to follow if over time you lose all control
of your bladder functions. godspeed Dylan. good luck bro. If I
did not have to wear diapers every day, I wouldnt, but some
people dont realize what it is like for people like me with a
severe disability, and some people envy us for certain things like
our usage of wheelchairs, diapers, catheters, leg braces, etc. If
I had a choice I would not use any of these. but I do not have a
choice and, since I am in a wheelchair and am paralyzed, I
cant change myself and have people do it for me. you will be
able to change your own diaper. make sure you think this over,
it will change your life forever.
DO some teen girls actually pee in the bathtub or shower?
The answer to that is yes, they do. I am a girl and I pee in a shower and bathtub, to practice peeing standing. All u do is pull down your pants and panties or take them off , squat or stand up in the tub/shower and pee right through! It is just as effective as doing the squat in a public restroom
Where does urine come out in a female?
The urethra; it is located between the clitoris and the vaginal introitus in the vulva.
How can you pee in the sink without getting caught?
Do it like you would at home just pee in your pants i do all the time at the mall
Centrifuging separates solid from liquid components of blood after it's collected into a container. Plasmapheresis is the removal of whole blood from the person, with replacement of the solid components of the blood back into the donor, while the plasma is collected.
They feel pressure in the bladder, like they have to go. when a girl has to pee really bad she starts to feel pressure in the lower abdomen.
What is the microscopic funtional unit of the kidney?
The tiny filtering units of kidney are the nephrons.there are millions of them in our body.they contain a number of network of tubes, cells and canals specialised in transmittingThe kidney is responsible for maintaining fluid balance within the body. The basic structural and functional units of the kidneys are the nephrons. Each nephron is made of intricately interwoven capillaries and drainage canals to filter wastes, macromolecules, and ions from the blood to urine. The approximately 1 million nephrons in each human kidney form 10-20 cone-shaped tissue units called renal pyramids that span both the inner and outer portions of the kidney, the renal medulla and renal cortex.
There are two main parts of a nephron: the renal corpuscle and renal tubule.
Renal Corpuscle StructureThe renal corpuscle is the initial filtering component of the nephron and is made up of two structures known as the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. The Bowman's capsule is a double membrane that cups the glomerulus. The glomerulus is a capillary extension, a small network of thin blood vessels, receiving blood from the renal circulation. The glomerular filtration rate is a measure of kidney function. Renal Tubule StructureRenal tubules are a duct system beginning at the Bowmen's capsule in the cortex, looping through the renal medulla, and returning to the cortex to connect to the collecting duct system. Each renal tubule is divided into a proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule. The proximal tubular has a brush border, that is microvilli, that increases the surface area for absorption. The distal convoluted tubule meets the afferent arteriole of the corpuscle as it joins the collecting tubule; this is called the macula densa. Nephron FunctionThe blood is filtered and urine formed by the actions of the nephrons. In each nephron, high pressure in the glomerulus pushes water and small dissolved materials into the extravascular space of the Bowman's capsule and into the tubule. The proximal tubule reabsorbs water, salts, glucose, and amino acids to maintain electrolyte levels in the body. The interstitium of, that is the tissue space surrounding, the loop of Henle concentrates salts that will be excreted in the urine, creating a concentration gradient in the medulla. The limbs of Henle's loop are permeable to particular ions (descending, water and some urea; thin ascending, general ions; medullary thick ascending - sodium, potassium, chloride), with the cortical thick ascending limb draining into the distal convoluted tubule. The distal tubule contains cells specialized in active transport and maintains urine and blood pH levels, particularly through the regulation of sodium and potassium.What are the 3 metabolic functions of the kidneys?
production and secretion of enzymes & hormones
metabolic conversion
acid base balance
