The document provides information about the urinary system. It describes the key organs - kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. It explains the functions of the urinary system, which include maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, removing waste, and regulating pH levels. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine, which travels through the ureters to the bladder and is then excreted through the urethra.
The document provides an overview of the urinary system and disorders that can affect it. It discusses the anatomy and physiology of the kidneys and nephrons. Some key urinary disorders summarized include:
1. Urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are common in women and caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Symptoms can include painful urination.
2. Kidney stones, solid mineral deposits that can block the urinary tract. Treatment includes shockwave lithotripsy to break up stones.
3. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate common in aging men that causes urinary problems. Treatments include medications
The renal system consists of the kidneys and urinary bladder. The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining fluid balance and composition in the body, regulating the internal environment. The kidneys are composed of nephrons which filter blood, reabsorbing necessary substances and secreting waste products to produce urine. Urine is stored in the bladder and emptied during micturition.
The urinary system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, one urinary bladder, and one urethra. The kidneys filter the blood and produce urine by regulating ions, volume, pH, and producing hormones. Urine passes from the kidneys to the bladder via the ureters. The bladder stores urine which is then expelled through the urethra. The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which filters blood and reabsorbs needed substances while secreting waste for urine production.
The urinary system has several important functions:
1. It filters waste and excess water from the blood and removes it from the body through urine.
2. It maintains the chemical consistency of the blood.
3. Its main organs - the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra - work together to produce, transport, store, and eliminate urine from the body.

Urine travels from the kidneys through the ureters to the urinary bladder, where it is stored until micturition. During micturition, the bladder contracts while sphincters relax to expel urine through the urethra to the outside of the body.
The document provides an overview of the urinary system, including its main organs and functions. It describes the anatomy and histology of the kidney, nephron, ureters, and urinary bladder. It explains the three main processes of urine formation - glomerular filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. It also discusses some common urinary tract diseases and the relationships between the urinary system and other body systems.
The urinary system maintains homeostasis by filtering the blood and producing urine. It is composed of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine, which travels through the ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until urination, when it is expelled through the urethra. Together these organs excrete waste from the body while regulating water balance and electrolyte levels in tissues and blood.
The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine, which travels down the ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until urination, when urine exits the body through the urethra. The kidneys also regulate fluid and electrolyte balance and blood pressure through hormone production and filtration processes in the nephrons.
The urinary system maintains homeostasis by filtering the blood and regulating fluid volume and composition. It includes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter blood to produce urine, removing waste and regulating electrolytes. Urine moves from the kidneys to the bladder via ureters and is expelled via the urethra. Precise regulation of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion allow the urinary system to maintain fluid balance and blood composition.
excretory system URINARY SYSTEM GENITOURINARY SYSTEMREKHA DEHARIYA
The genitourinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine. Each kidney contains approximately 1 million nephrons, which are the functional filtering units of the kidney. In the nephrons, blood is filtered in the glomerulus and most of the filtrate is reabsorbed, with the remaining filtrate becoming urine. Urine travels from the kidneys through the ureters to the urinary bladder, where it is temporarily stored until urination through the urethra.
The human excretory system consists of the kidneys and their functional unit, the nephron. The kidneys filter waste from the blood through a multi-step process involving filtration, reabsorption, and secretion to produce urine. Urine is carried from the kidneys by the ureters to the urinary bladder for storage and is later expelled from the body through the urethra.
The document discusses the human excretory system. It describes the key organs that make up the excretory system, including the liver, lungs, large intestine, skin, and urinary system. It focuses on the structures and functions of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the bloodstream and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance. Urine is formed in microscopic filtration units called nephrons and is transported through the ureters to the bladder for storage and eventual excretion through the urethra.
The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine. The nephrons in the kidneys remove wastes and regulate water and electrolyte balance. Urine travels from the kidneys down the ureters to the bladder. When full, the bladder contracts to expel urine through the urethra. The system helps maintain homeostasis by regulating water balance and removing toxins from the body.
Implementing ICU Rehab Program Part 1 Roundtable 2014whitchur
Implementing an early mobilization program in the ICU can improve patient outcomes by decreasing length of stay and ventilator days while also improving functional outcomes. However, there are several barriers to implementation including lack of leadership, staffing, knowledge, and appropriate referrals as well as over-sedation, delirium, and safety concerns. Successful programs require a multidisciplinary team approach with buy-in from all specialties, evidence-based research, administrative support, dedicated resources, and a culture change toward early mobilization and rehabilitation. Standardized processes around education, communication, protocols, and data tracking can help drive implementation.

The document provides an overview of the digestive system, including:
- The main function of the digestive system is to digest food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste.
- The organs that make up the gastrointestinal tract include the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon.
- Accessory organs that aid in digestion include the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
- Digestion begins in the mouth and progresses through the gastrointestinal tract with the help of mechanical and chemical breakdown of food.
The respiratory system has several functions including inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. It is comprised of organs like the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes, and lungs. The nasal cavity warms and humidifies air before it reaches the lungs. The pharynx is shared by the respiratory and digestive systems. The larynx contains the vocal cords which produce sound. The trachea transports air to the bronchi and lungs. In the lungs, bronchioles divide into alveoli where gas exchange occurs across the respiratory membrane.
The document provides an overview of the lymphatic and immune systems, including their functions of transporting lymph fluid and fighting disease, the organs that make up these systems such as lymph nodes and the spleen, and medical terminology related to the lymphatic and immune systems like combining forms and suffixes used in medical terms.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Editor's Notes
The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra….. Take care in not confusing the two terms ureter and urethra. This system can be thought of as a kind of purification system for the blood in the bodies circulatory system….. The urinary system also functions to maintain fluid, electrolytes and pH balance and remove toxins from the blood in the body. Next slide…..
