URINARY SYSTEM INFORMATION-INTRODUCTION-1-LESSON 71

-

We have learned so far about gastrointestinal (GI) system so far. In the coming posts we will learn about URINARY SYSTEM. Ok.  The contents of this system consists of:
1. Urinary system anatomy.
2. Urine production
3. Structure of urinary system
4. Urinalysis
5. Urinary system-Pathology (Kidneys, Bladder, and other organs)
6. Lab tests and procedures
7. Abbreviations

We will see each subject one by one now…come on.

URINARY SYSTEM-INTRODUCTION:

FUNCTIONS OF THE KIDNEY:

How food waste particles are removed from our body?

Catabolism is a process of production of energy in the cells by the combination of oxygen and food. In this process neither the food or oxygen is not devastated. As an alternative, the small particles of food and oxygen are reorganized into new mishmash. These blend of amalgamation are ravage foodstuffs (sugars and fats and proteins). Food stuffs created in our body are of two mixtures:

1. Foods with Sugars and Fats
2. Protein Foods

Foods with Sugars and Fats:

When foods like sugars and fats mostly they are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They intermix with oxygen in cells. The wastes produced are gases called carbon dioxide, a mixture of carbon and oxygen and hydrogen and oxygen. This is in the form of vapor (gas and water). These waste gases are removed from the body by exhalation process of breathing through the nostrils by the lungs.

Protein Foods:

The foodstuffs that contain protein are not simple material like sugars and fat, but proteins particles are complicated. These dense food particles contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, as well as nitrogen and other rudiments. The ravage or waste produced when protein mixed with oxygen. This is called nitrogenous waste. It is more difficult to send out of the body than food particles with sugars and fats as carbon-di-oxide and water through the breathing process.

The body cannot capably excrete the nitrogenous waste as it cannot change it as a gas and vapor as like other food materials. But the nitrogenous waste is excreted in the form a soluble (dissolved in water) known as urea. The primary function of the URINARY SYSTEM is to eliminate urea formed in the bloodstream, in order that it does not accrue or collect in the body and become contaminated or poisonous toxic materials. Kidneys are organs remove these materials outside the body in the form of urine.

Keywords: Urinary, kidneys, sugars and fats, proteins, urea, urine, urethra, ureters, electrolytes, nitrogenous, oxygen, carbon-di-oxide

The next post continues this lesson. Okay.

In the next lesson we will learn more about URINARY SYSTEM.

HUMAN BONE STRUCTURE - LESSON 200

-
Now in this post we will learn about the structure of the bone. In our human body there are 206 bones of different types are there. The thigh, lower leg, and upper and lower arm consists of long bones. These bones have large surface areas for muscle attachment and are very strong, are broad at the ends where they join with other bones. There are five types of bones in the human body. The five types are long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid. 1. Long bones:- These bones are comprised mostly of compact bone and lower amounts marrow, which is located within the medullary cavity, and spongy bone and are characterized by a shaft, the diaphysis, that is much larger in length than breadth. These bones are mostly present in the limbs, including those of the fingers and toes are long bones. Except the wrist, ankle, and kneecap these long bones are located in most. 2. Short bones:- These short bones are generally cube shaped and having a thin layer of compact bone surrounding a...

IMPORTANT RADIOLOGY NUCLEAR MEDICINE TERMS-3-LESSON 148

-
1. Magnetic resonance imaging- A magnetic ground radio signals are used to outline sagittal, coronal, and axial pictures of the body. 2. Megavoltage- High-energy radiation engendered by means of an equipment and employed in restorative x-ray analysis intended for cancer. 3. Nuclear medicine- This is a medical speciality, which examines and employs of radioactive materials called radionuclides within identification and treatment of ailment. 4. Orthovoltage- Emission of low-energy radioactive waves that are employed in pain-killing radiation therapy and exterior skin cancer diseases. 5. Palliative- Means just soothing or painkilling, not curing completely that is not possible. 6. PET scan or positron emission tomography- Radioactive materials are administered using intravenous route and these substances give out positrons. They generate a cross-sectional picture of the metabolism of the body. These images symbolize local concentration of the radio...

The Longest Medical Word

-
Image
Today, we will know about an interesting medical term in medical language. This post is just to know about a different thing in the medical language, though this word is used very rarely in our day-to-day medical transcription work. The longest medical word is "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"!!!!!. Can you read at least Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.  Now, we will see the meaning of this word.  To know the meaning shall we split the word by word. Okay.  1.  Pneumono 2.  Ultramicrosopic 3.  Silico 4.  Volcano 5.  Conosis. So, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis comprises of 5 medical words and in combination, they give a meaning of a certain kind of disease condition related to lungs.  Now, we will see the meaning of each to get the combined understanding of the longest medical word. Pneumono means lungs, ultramicroscopic - means minute, silico means silicon, volc...
