BIOD 152 LAB 8 STUDY SET
1.) The two body systems described together as the urogenital system are:
Reproductive and Urinary Correct!
2.) The breakdown of hemoglobin determines what property of urine?
Color
2.) A fresh, normal urine sample should have what odor?
Distinctive but not pungent
2.) The color of urine is due to the breakdown of:
Hemoglobin
3.) The most abundant solute in urine is:
Urea
3.) This solute accumulates in joints causing an inflammatory condition:
Uric acid
3.) This solute is formed from the breakdown of skeletal muscles.
Creatnine
4.) A person produces 3 liters of urine a day. This is called:
Polyuria
4.) A person produces 400 milliliters of urine a day. This is called:
Oliguria
4.) A person produces 1.5 liters of urine a day. This is called:
Normal urine output
5.) A lab technician finds large amounts of albumin in a urine sample. Is this normal or abnormal? If
abnormal, explain the problem this finding indicates.
, It is abnormal to find large quantities of Albumin in a urine sample, this finding indicates that there is a
issue in the filtering process meaning that the glomerulus in the nephron is enabling the proteins to get
into the tubular region.
6.) A lab technician finds casts in a urine sample. Is this normal or abnormal? If abnormal, explain the
problem this finding indicate
It is abnormal, this finding is indica"ve of inflammatory lesions in the Kidney. Casts are a moldings that
breaks off from the upper lining of the nephrons tubular system and travel into the urinary tract.
6.) A lab technician finds renal calculi in a urine sample. Is this normal or abnormal? If abnormal, explain
the problem this finding indicates.
if a lab technician finds renal calculi in a urine sample, it is an result of an abnormal pH balance. renal
calculi may be an indication of kidney stones. kidney stones are determined if there is a lot of
crystals/salt in the blood that has yet to go through urine. kidney stones are very painful for patients.
7.) Which letter above (A, B, C or D) best shows the medial surface of the kidney?
A
7.) Which letter above (A, B, C or D) best shows the lateral surface of the kidney?
B
8.) Identify the structure above (indicated by the arrow) and discuss its purpose.
The stucture above is the Ureter, it func"ons in carrying the urine from the kidneys to the bladder
8.) Identify the structure above (identified by the arrow) and name its zone.
Pyramid; medulla
