Fill in Tables 9 through 12. Refer to Table 3 to determine if each result was normal or abnormal. If abnormal, include the data which indicates this (e.g., a pH of 3.2 means that glucose is present). Using the test results from each of the urine samples, diagnose the condition(s), if any, that each of the sample patients is experiencing. ”

 Post-Lab Questions

 

1.            Which component of the urinary system is more lateral: the left kidney or the urinary bladder?

 

2.            Which component of the urinary system is a funnel shaped cavity formed by the union of calices, ending in the ureter.

 

3.            What is the most superior component of the urinary system?

 

4.            Where is the prostatic sinus in relation to the prostate?

B -calyx

 

C -cortex

 

D -renal artery

 

E -renal vein

 

F – ureter

 

2.            What is the function of the urinary bladder?
