Purpose: To strengthen and demonstrate your knowledge of the Urinary System and its systemic relationship in the body. The ability to apply this content and think systemically with physiology processes will benefit you as a healthcare student and practitioner.

To be successful you will make sure you complete diagrams as instructed in the tasks, making sure to include all items in the list below and their relationships to the other items and physiological responses. You also need to make sure to list or provide explanation where necessary or where it is asked in the tasks. A successful submission would be very clear and easy to read and it would be easy to see how Jane's body is responding to restore blood pressure and blood volume, specifically in the Kidney and the responses occurring in the glomerulus, nephron, filtrate, and blood. For submission, you can submit them as a pdf or image from a phone if you are drawing these at home. Besides using the course textbook and assignments, here is another resource or two to use:

Case Studies

Revisit Jane (One Last Time): Jane was riding her horse on a warm sunny day (101 degrees Fahrenheit) when suddenly her horse stopped and reared up in the air. Jane was not prepared for this and fell hard backwards into the ground. As she hit the ground Jane's leg was gashed open by a large, sharp boulder that she fell next to. Jane began to bleed severely. Jane's body spends the next couple hours physiologically compensating for her blood loss. From what we have learned so far this quarter, we know that her blood loss causes blood volume, blood pressure, and cardiac output to plummet. Through a Urinary lens, but including other systems: Create diagram to explain how Jane's body is physiologically responding to the blood loss in order to restore to homeostasis and how that will affect urine production. Make sure to include the following and please highlight or underline them when used:

Nephron
Collecting Duct
Aldosterone
ADH
Renin
Angiotensin II
Water
Sodium ions
Glomerular Filtration Rate (and pressures affecting it)
Afferent arterioles
Efferent arterioles
Nitric Oxide (NO)
ATP
Vasoconstriction/Vasodilation
Epinephrine
Adrenal Medulla
juxtaglomerular apparatus
2. Brian recently went to the doctor due to symptoms of confusion, tremors, lightheadedness, muscle spasms, nasuea, and occasional numbness in his hands and feet. After performing some diagnostic tests the Doctor received the following results in regards to blood pH, pCO2. Based on the data below, provide the diagnosis (Based on what you have covered in this unit) and create diagram that shows how the renal or respiratory systems would compensate to bring the body back to normal. In your diagram, make sure to include the following as needed for your explanation:

Renal tubules, arterioles, bicarbonate buffer, H+ ions, lungs, alveolar capillaries
ABGs:

pH - 7.5

pCO2 - 42 mmHg

HCO3- 35 mEq/L
