Explain the micturition and disorders of the excretory system.
Answers
Answer:
Micturition: Urine formed by the nephrons is ultimately carried to the urinary bladder where it is stored till a voluntary signal is given by the central nervous system (CNS). This signal is initiated by the stretching of the urinary bladder as it gets filled with urine. In response, the stretch receptors on the walls of the bladder send signals to the CNS. The CNS passes on motor messages to initiate the contraction of smooth muscles of the bladder and simultaneous relaxation of the urethral sphincter causing the release of urine. The process of release of urine is called micturition and the neural mechanisms causing it is called the micturition reflex.
• Disorders of the Excretory System: Malfunctioning of kidneys can lead to accumulation of urea in blood, a condition called uremia, which is highly harmful and may lead to kidney failure. In such patients, urea can be removed by a process called hemodialysis. Kidney transplantation is the ultimate method in the correction of acute renal failures (kidney failure).
• Renal calculi: Stone or insoluble mass of crystallised salts (oxalates, etc.) formed within the kidney.
• Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of glomeruli of kidney.
