what is the bladder capacity for infants? - ANSWER 20-50Ml
,What is the pathway of the urinary system? - ANSWER kidney, ureters, bladder, urethra
Why does elimination occur? - ANSWER excrete body waste, toxins, excess ions, and
water
what are the parts of the kidney? - ANSWER cortex, medulla, calyces, renal pelvis
what is the functional unit of the kidney? - ANSWER nephron
what is the Bowman's capsule? - ANSWER double walled unit that encloses the
glomerulus
What is the glomerulus? - ANSWER filtrating tubules and collecting ducts
What is the order of the renal tubules? - ANSWER glomerulus-> proximal convoluted
tubule-> Loop of Henle: descending and ascending limb, distal convoluted tubule,
collecting duct
where does filtration occur in the kidney? - ANSWER glomerulus
what forces waste products into Bowman's capsule and what does it form? - ANSWER
Blood pressure, filtrate
how much can the bladder store before emptying? - ANSWER 500mL
Why do women get UTIs more often than men? - ANSWER Women's urethras are
shorter. 2cm young girls, 4cm adults while men's are 20 cm
,what would make a man more susceptible to UTIs? - ANSWER being uncircumcised
What is the average age for toilet training and what must take place for the child to be
able to potty train? - ANSWER 24-30 months
spinal cord must be myelinated to the appropriate level and must achieve voluntary
control or the urethral and anal sphincters

or nap
-aware of urge
-communicates need
-be dry for at least 2 hours during the day
What changes during pregnancy affect the renal system? - ANSWER -increased blood
flow to the kidneys by 50-80%
-Increased GFR to 40-60%
-Increased intravascular volume
-Increased extracellular volume
-Increased metabolic products
-excretion of fecal waste products
increases the size of the kidneys by 1 to 1.5 cm
ureters lengthen
What changes happen with age that affect the renal system? - ANSWER -size and
function decreases beginning at 50 years old
-by age 80 about 66% of fx remains
, -filtration rate decreases
-ability to concentrate and dilute urine diminishes
-bladder becomes less elastic
-women have loss of abdominal and perineal muscle tone
-men have prostate enlargement
What influences elimination? - ANSWER -delay urination: increased urinary stasis
-caffeine: diuretic increased urine production
-alcohol causes urinary retention
-sodium and other electrolytes makes your body retain water which decreases urine
production
