Post-Lab Questions
1. Fill in Tables 9 through 12. Refer to Table 3 to determine if each result was normal or abnormal. If abnormal, include the data which indicates this (e.g., a pH of 3.2 means that glucose is present).

2. Using the test results from each of the urine samples, along with the Table 3, diagnosis the condition(s), if any, that each of the sample patients is experiencing?
3. If you were a doctor and a patient’s urinalysis came back with high level of glucose, ketones and an acidic pH, what diagnosis would you immediately look into?
4. If you were a doctor and a patient’s urinalysis came back with an alkaline pH and high levels of protein, what diagnosis would you immediately look into?
5. What other conditions can urine be used to test for?
Experiment 3: Virtual Model - Urinary System Coloring Activity
Experiment 4: Fetal Pig Dissection of the Urinary System
Post-Lab Questions
1. Label the arrows in Figure 11.
A. Renal medulla
B. major calyx
C. Cortex
D. Renal artery
E. Renal vein
F. Ureter
2. What is the function of the urinary bladder?
3. Would you think the kidneys are highly vascularized?
4. What is the function of the adrenal glands?
5. Explain, in detail, the process by which urine is made? The process of urine formation is disrupted or inhibited, over an extended period of time, toxins begin to accumulate in the body and this can cause quite serious medical conditions and eventually results in death.
