Study Notes
- The slides cover the urinary system, its organs and applications, focusing on nursing practices related to it.
- The goal is to enable nurses to perform necessary nursing practices related to the urinary system.
- The purpose is to apply appropriate nursing interventions for diagnosis and treatment.
Urinary System Organs
- Kidneys are in the lumbar region and responsible for the initial formation of urine.
- Ureters are a pair of tubes carrying urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
- The urinary bladder is a sac-like organ for urine storage.
- The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the exterior of the body.
- Vulva refers to the female external genitalia.
- The meatus is where the urethra opens to the outside.
- The penis functions as the male sex and urinary excretory organ.
- The perineum is a mass of skin, muscle, and connective tissue between the vagina and anus in women.
Urinary System Function
- Also known as the renal system, it produces, stores, and eliminates urine, which is fluid waste.
- The kidneys filter wastes and extra water from the blood to make urine.
- It plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis.
Urine Elimination Process
- Urine is formed via blood circulation, as inorganic salts, nitrogenous substances, and water come to the kidneys.
- Ureters transport urine to the bladder through rhythmic movements.
- Urination, known as micturition, happens when the bladder contracts and urine is excreted through the urethra.
Urine Volume and Frequency
- There is a need for excretion when the bladder contains 250-500 ml of urine.
- A healthy person produces 1000-1500 ml of urine per day.
- Urination usually happens 4-6 times in a 24-hour period.
Factors Affecting Urine Excretion
- Age and development
- Socio-cultural factors
- Psychological factors
- Fluid intake
- Diseases
- Surgical interventions
- Medicines
