The interior kidney has a number of urine-draining branches termed the major and minor calyces‚ and an expanded portion called the renal pelvis‚ which together are known as the pelvicaliceal system (Frank‚ 2007). Extending inferiorly from the pelvis of each kidney is a ureter. Ureters are long‚ tube-like structures connecting each kidney

of Urinary System The urinary system consists of the kidneys‚ ureters‚ urinary bladder‚ and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and produce urine. The ureters‚ urinary bladder‚ and urethra together form the urinary tract‚ which acts as a plumbing system to drain urine from the kidneys‚ store it‚ and then release it during urination. Besides filtering and eliminating wastes from the body‚ the urinary system also maintains the homeostasis of water‚ ions‚ pH‚ blood pressure‚ calcium

infection called pyelonephritis. When kidney stone passes from the urine collecting system within the kidney into the ureter‚ it can act like a dam. preventing easy flow of urine from the kidney into the bladder. This causes urine to back up‚ increasing pressure and swelling within the kidney. Pain from a kidney stone can be excruciating‚ particularly as the stone is passing through the ureter. Kidney stone pain of this type is referred to as renal colic and its intensity is often described as akin to the

It consists of the heart‚ which is a muscular pumping device‚ and a closed system of vessels called arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. As the name implies‚ blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the heart around a closed circuit of vessels as it passes again and again through the various "circulations" of the body.
