Pyelonephritis___ Inability to control urination B. Glomerulonephritis___ Kidney stones C. Incontinence___ Slow loss of kidney function D. Chronic renal failure___ Bladder infection E. Renal calculi___ Inflammation of the glomeruli F. Cystitis___ Kidney enlargement due to cysts G. Acute renal failure___ Sudden loss of kidney function H. Polycystic kidney diseaseHGFEDCBAANSWER:GOOD JOB!26-*In Summary26.1 The retroperitoneal kidneys are composed of the outer renal cortex and inner renal medulla. Their function is to remove metabolic waste from the body.26.2 A nephron is a single kidney cell. It is composed of a renal corpuscle containing the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule and the three sections of the renal tubule: proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule. 26-*In Summary (cont.)26.3 The nephrons filter blood and form urine through three processes: glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion.26.4 Some of the components of urine include water, urea, uric acid, trace amounts of amino acids, and various ions.26.5 The two ureters are long tubes extending from each renal pelvis that bring urine to the bladder for storage. The urethra is the muscular tube extending from the bladder that allows urine to be expelled from the body.26-*In Summary (cont.)26.6 Urination is controlled by a variety of factors including bladder distention, parasympathetic nerve stimulation, brain impulses affecting urethral sphincters, and contractions of the detrusor muscles of the bladder.26.7 The diseases and disorders of the urinary system include infections of the bladder and kidneys, bladder control, and the different types of renal (kidney) failure and disease. These are discussed in more detail in the Pathophysiology section of this chapter. 26-*End of Chapter 26This too shall pass—just like a kidney stone.~H. Madson
