What is the normal volume of urine excreated in a 24hr period?
What is the normal volume of urine excreted in a 24-hour period?
1.0 - 1.8 liters
Which system regulates the amount of water and mineral salts in the blood?
endocrine system, excretory system, digestive sytem, respiratory system, etc,
This is because blood is the common carrier for all substances to be transported within the body.
Do urology reflux problems have a genetic component?
I believe it can, because my mama (God rest her soul) had it, and I kinda have it n' my granny has it..

Tubular reabsorption is the movement of filtrate from renal tubules back into blood in response to the body's specific needs.
How do you calculate ideal urine output per hour based on weight?
urine output is a dynamic process, so the only way to calculate it is to measure volumes each time the person urinates... There are formulas to calculate the amount of clearance of substances or concentration of things in the blood and how much leaves in the urine, but actual urine totals need to be measured each beaker at a time...
How does a kidney remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance?
can you explain how the kidneys remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance?
What is connection between endocrine system and urinary system?
The endocrine system (specifically pituitary gland and adrenal gland (cortex)) secrete hormones (ADH - antidiuretic hormone & aldosterone) which cause the kidneys to reabsorb salt. This, in turn, causes the kidneys to increase water re-absorption. All of this increases blood volume, which increases blood pressure.
Alternatively, ANH (Atrial Natriuretic Hormone) is secreted by the atrium of the heart. This causes the kidneys to reabsorb less sodium (and less water) which decreases blood volume and decreases blood pressure.
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine are released from the adrenal glands (medulla) during short-term stressful events, which increases blood pressure by vasoconstriction and slows digestion and bowel movements.
Why do we pee when we laugh too much?
When we urinate, we lose a considerable volume of liquid away from the body.
The volume of liquid (urine) shares the normal body temperature.
When we lose urine, the body temperature drops slightly.
The brain detects the slight drop of body temperature sending an impulse to regain normal body temperature through involuntary muscle contraction.
The involuntary muscle contraction makes us 'giggle.'
Muscle contraction produces heat to counter balance the lost temperature after urination.
Is it ok to pee yourself on purpose?
easy, if ur a guy, u can miss. if ur a gurl then you sat to far forward on the seat.
What muscles do the Kegel exercises strengthen?
In men, Kegel exercises can strengthen the muscles that support the erection, in addition to helping with urinary incontinence and other medical problems. These are strengthening exercises that involve contracting and releasing of the muscles between the scrotum and anus (the muscles involved when you are starting and stopping the flow of urine or when you are "holding in" urine or feces) which are called the PC muscles or the pubococcygeus muscles. The exercises are done in several sessions of multiple repetitions daily.
Kegel exercises are used for treating male incontinence, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, prostatitis and swelling from prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).

Water enters the body through ingestion, and is absorbed into the blood.When it enters the kidneys, it meets with salts, urea, and other waste substances, where it produces urine.
Is the pee hole the same holwe as the verjina?
No. they are different. Hole for urine is placed anterior to vagina and is very small.
What body system removes waste from the blood to make urine?
Kidneys play a main role in filtering liquid wastes from our body. Kidney has millions of nephrons which filter the urine. it removes urea, other toxic materials from it. and by chance if glucose and other useful products are removed then they are reabsorbed in final filtration process. nephron is the simplest unit of kidney.
