Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is a specialist who deals with the urinary system?

Answer: urologist

A urologist deals with the urinary tract in both sexes, and the genital tract in the male. A nephrologist deals with the kidneys.
2. Which of these is NOT a part of the urinary system?

Answer: Uterus

The uterus is a part of the female reproductive system. The bladder is the other part of the urinary system.
3. How many phases took place in the glomeruli to produce urine?

Answer: 3

Urine formation begins with the filtration of liquids. The next phase is reabsorption, where substances are moved out of the renal tubules into the surrounding peritubular capillaries. The third step is secretion, during which substances move from the surrounding capillaries into the urine.
4. What is a tubular structure that filters the urine in the kidney?

Answer: Nephron

A calyx is one of the branches of the kidney. A cortex is the outer portion of an organ. The internal urethral sphincter is a band of muscle fibers at the base of the bladder.
5. What age group is the most likely to develop vesicoureteral reflux?

Answer: Infants and children

Vesicoureteral reflux occurs when there is incompetence of one of the urinary sphincters, allowing urine to flow backwards, up from the bladder to the ureters.
6. What is the medical term for a kidney stone?

Answer: Nephrolith

Kidney stones are characterized by renal colic (pain in the abdomen), and often severe pain in the flank (kidney area of the back).
7. What is a blood test done to measure the urea, which indicates normal or abnormal kidney function?

Answer: BUN

BUN stands for blood urea (nitrogen). ESWL stands for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (breaking up of a stone using ultrasound energy. IVP is for intravenous pyelogram (an x-ray using contrast medium injected into the vein to view the kidneys and surrounding structures). GFR is glomerular filtration rate (determination of volume of water being filtered from plasma through the kidneys).
8. Which of these is a diuretic?

Answer: Aldactone

Pyridium is an analgesic, Procrit is a hematinic, and Klorvess is a potassium replacement.
9. What is the filtering organ of the urinary system?

Answer: kidney

The kidney consists of the outer cortex, the inner medulla, the pelvis, attached to the ureter which drains urine into the bladder, and the calyx, a portion of the pelvis. The internal structure is built to filter substances through millions of microscopic units called the nephrons.
10. What is the inability to produce urine?

Answer: Anuria

Dysuria is pain or difficulty with urination. Polyuria is the production of an increased amount of urine, and oliguria is the production of very little urine.
