URINARY SYSTEM INFORMATION- URINALYSIS-2-LESSON 82

-

This lesson continues the prior lesson Urinalysis.6. Pus: Presence of pus in the urine is called pyuria. The urine is turbid or gloomy in color. This condition is due to the presence of more white blood cells in the urine. White blood cells are called leukocytes. Bacterial infection of the kidney or urinary bladder is the reason for this condition. 7. Glucose: Renal tubules in the kidney are unable to reabsorb the sugars from the urine and so more sugars excreted. This condition is called glycosuria. When the sugar is more in the blood this condition is called hyperglycemia. Glycosuria is a symptom of diabetes mellitus.8. Sediment: Urine is residuous or sedimentuous when it contains the red blood cells, white blood cells, epithelial cells, bacteria, and crystals. The presence of these materials in the urine is a disease condition.

Specific Gravity: This is a test of urine density. This density is compared with water density and the difference says the nature of the urine. Nephritis is a condition in which the reabsorption capacity of kidneys are less and so urine is more watery and specific gravity is less. Normally specific gravity is high in the sugar patients due to the presence of sugar more in it. 10. Ketone Bodies: Due to the fat catabolism ketones are created in the blood. Ketones are also called acetones. Fat is used to get energy in abnormal conditions such as diabetes mellitus energy is created by burning fat stored in the body other than sugar, and so ketones are formed. So more ketones are excreted in the urine. This condition is called ketonuria.

In the next lesson we will learn about urinary system disease conditions. OK.

Abdominopelvic quadrants and regions are divided into 9 regions as per the division of the abdominal and pelvic cavities to explain the regions in which internal organs are found. They are as follows: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and hypogastric. Now we will see about all abdominopelvic quadrants and regions one by one now. 1. Hypochondriac regions (2): The two upper right and left regions below the cartilage (chondr/o) of the ribs that extend over the abdomen. 2. Epigastric regions (2): This is the region above the stomach. 3. Lumbar regions (2): The two right and left regions near the waist part of the body. 4. Umbilical regions (1): The region of the umbilicus or navel portion of the body. 5. Inguinal regions (2): The two lower right and left regions of the body, inguin/o means groin that is the area where the two legs join together with the trunk of the body. This region is also called iliac regions because they are near the ilium part

Body cells are different types. We often may read about stem cell types. Like in a movie there are many actors to do their different roles to establish a story, in our body there are different kinds of cells to do different roles to keep the body stable and active. The cells in our body are of two types: 1. Somatic cells. Our body contains Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Skin cells, and Fat cells. These kind of cells performing mainly body related functions and so they are called Somatic cells. There are varieties of cells inside the body. Every cell is different or specially created to do their special role inside the body throughout. Fat Cell: For example in body cells a FAT CELL has in it empty and large spaces for fat storage, and a muscle is slender and long and has in it fiber material that help in relaxing and contracting, as well as a skin cell is square in shape and also flat in structure to give protection to our body and a nerve cell which is long in struct
