Detecting Urinary System Abnormalities Through Medical Technology

DESCRIPTION

This unit explores how medical technology, specifically urinalysis, is applied to identify abnormalities in the urinary system. By examining samples for indicators like kidney failure, urinary tract infections, and the presence of glucose or proteins, we can assess patient health. Activities will involve group discussions, hands-on testing for urine characteristics, and data collection to diagnose potential urinary diseases effectively. Understanding the excretory system's functions will enhance comprehension of these diagnostic methods.

Presentation Transcript

  1. 12/4/2012LG: How do we apply medical technology to detect abnormalities in our urinary system? Do Now: Is this patient healthy? Explain…

  2. The excretory system eliminates nonsolid wastes from the body. • Kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs. • Functions: filter and clean the blood to produce urine • Circulatory system helps to transport nutrients back to the body

  3. [Urinalysis] • Definition: examination of urine to detect [abnormalities] such as: -kidney failure -urinary tract [infections] -glucosuria (glucose in the urine) -proteinuria (protein in the urine)

  4. Group Activity • Part I: Reading and Discussion of the background information • Part II: Perform assigned tests within groups • Part III. Collecting data • Part IV. Group Presentation

  5. Part I: Discussion of the background information

  6. Urinary Disease Case Studies

  7. Urinalysis Procedures • Activity 1: observations of physical characteristics of urine (color and clarity) • Activity 2: pH determination (acidic, basic or neutral?) • Activity 3: Biuret Test (if protein is present) • Activity 4: Benedict’s Test (if glucose is present)

  8. Part II. Urinalysis TestsGroup Assignment • Each group will be doing activities 1-4.

  9. Part III. Collecting Data

  10. Announcements • All works will be due this Friday (12/7) for the 2nd Progress Report (Check your Pupil Path!) • Test # 3 will be given this Friday (12/7) Topics: -Cells and organelles (study the organelles and functions really well!) -Body systems (digestive, excretory, respiratory) study organs and functions. -Urinalysis (make sure you know how to diagnose a patient by looking at the urinalysis result)
