Discussion Ideas - Chapter 9
This chapter begins with a discussion of the organs
of excretion. The anatomy of the urinary system is then considered
before urine formation is taken up in detail. Kidney regulation
of blood volume and pH is covered prior to a section on renal
illnesses. This final section discusses detecting kidney malfunction
with urinalysis, kidney failure, and treating kidney failure with
dialysis. One Health Focus tells how to recognize and prevent
urinary tract infections, and a second describes the details of
organ donation.
