12/4/2012LG: How do we apply medical technology to detect abnormalities in our urinary system? Do Now: Is this patient healthy? Explain…
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
[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)
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
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)
Part II. Urinalysis TestsGroup Assignment • Each group will be doing activities 1-4.
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)
