3. Nephron anatomy: basic functional unit of kidney, filtration, 1 million/kidney
(Listed according to flow through system)
a. Glomerulus: capillary network; filtration of blood
1) afferent arteriole: larger, efferent arteriole: smaller
2) pressure difference: forces fluid/ particles thru pores (fenestrae)
*No blood in urine: blood cells too large to pass thru fenestrae*
b. Bowman’s capsule: encapsulates glomerulus, receives filtrate  urine
c. Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT):
1) reabsorbs: 65% of water & many nutrients: (glucose, amino acids, citric &
ascorbic acids, calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphates, sulfates)
2) secretes substances into urine: (histamine, some drugs)

C. Ureters: tubes channel urine from each kidney to urinary bladder
D. Urinary bladder: transitional epithelium - stretching
1. functions: hold urine & expel urine (smooth muscle) = Micturition (urination)
2. capacity: 700-800 ml, 3-3.5 cups
3. Stretch receptors: “go off” at ½ full mark in order for us to find a bathroom
Rubber band analogy: empty to extremely full bladder repeatedly: stretches out the
bladder, incontinence  Depends?
Urinary Bladder:
Stretch Receptor
Transitional epi
Fast fact: never drive with a FULL BLADDER (filled water balloon), if you get in an accident the seat belt
could rupture your bladder  peritonitis.
E. Urethra: transports urine out of bladder, (males: also transports semen)
1. women:1 ½” long, men: variable, 5”+; women more Urinary Tract Infections
2. Internal urethral sphincter: INVOLUNTARY smooth muscle, neck of bladder

V. PATHOLOGY:
A. Urolithiasis: Kidney stones (think State Fair) in renal calyces/pelvis
1. dehydration (beer, not enough water)
2.  calcium (fried cheese curds, pasteurized milk)
3.  phosphorus (brats, meat)
B. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): women> men due to the urethral length difference
1. Bladder inflammation = cystitis (bacteria can travel up ureter to kidney too)
2. Kidney inflammation = nephritis
Sx: urgency of micturition, burning, impede urine flow, little urine flow/dribbling,
painful urination, blood in urine, fever, pain
Causes: STDs, bacterial/viral/microbial infection or yeast!
C. Prostate: urethra in male passes through the prostate
*Prostatitis, prostate cancer  prostatectomy; lead to sphincter probs, incontinence
D. Incontinence: inability to control micturition
E. Renal failure: decrease or stopping glomerular filtration rate
1. acute causes: hemorrhage, CO, renal tubule damage, kidney stones, reaction to
kidney/bv dyes, NSAIDS, antibiotics
2. Chronic causes: irreversible; glomerulonephritis, pyelonephiritis, polycystic kidney
disease, uncontrolled diabetes type 2, loss of kidney tissue; dialysis
Interesting Urine Facts:
The urinary filtering system processes about 200 quarts of blood – the equivalent of 500 cans of soda – daily.
Of that, about two quarts are discarded as waste and sent to the bladder.

5. Accessory Sex Glands:
a. Seminal vesicles: 60% of semen volume, secrete alkaline fluid
1) neutralizing acidity in male urethra & female reproductive tract so sperm
is not killed or inactivated.
2) fructose: (ATP), prostaglandins: female organ contract (motility).
b. Prostate gland: ring around urethra, 35% of semen volume, alkaline fluid
1) smooth muscle that contracts: force semen out upon ejaculation
2) citric acid: (ATP), protein-digesting enzymes (PSA): penetrate oocyte
c. Bulbourethral/Cowper’s glands: 3% of semen volume
1) secrete lubricating fluid: released on excitation, clear out residual urine
before ejaculation,  sperm damage + lubricate end of penis

F. SEMEN: vol per ejaculation: secretions (2.5-5mL) and sperm (50-250million sperm/mL)
1. composition: water, electrolytes, nutrients, hormones from glands & 2% sperm
2. Infertility: below 20 million sperm/mL
*Very large # of sperm required for fertilization, only tiny fraction reaches the oocyte*
Males – retain reproductive capability into their 80s or 90s.
The reproductive system is very much about environment. Just as a romantic evening is enhanced with soft
music, low lights, etc., etc. – so the internal environment for fertilization is dependent on MANY factors that
must be functioning optimally. Male hormones need to be within certain narrow limits & the scrotum at the
right temperature to allow millions of viable sperm to be produced. The “tubing” of the male needs to be
open & allow free movement of the sperm upon ejaculation. Female hormones need to be within certain
narrow limits to 1.make a viable egg monthly, 2.prepare the implantation site of the embryo & 3.maintain
pregnancy. The internal environment of the male urethra & female vaginal canal cannot be too acidic or the
sperm will be killed off. The sperm needs to have enough energy to swim a long way through a hostile
female (acidic) environment & enough chemicals (PSA) to dissolve some of the egg’s coating to allow
fertilization. If there is a problem with just ONE of the above factors (or numerous others!) the result often
leads to infertility or sterility (in other words – you ain’t makin’ babies!).
III. PATHOLOGY:
A. Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) – enlargement of prostate, 2-4x normal
Sx: frequent urination, bed wetting, decreased force of urination, dribbling
B. Prostate cancer: leading cause of death SLOW growing, watchful wait – unless genetics.
PSA: blood test to help determine & Digital exam (thru rectum)
Tx: surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, chemo
C. Prostatitis – enlarged, soft, tender prostate gland - inflammation of urethra
IV. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDs): Effects males & females
1. Chlamydia: cloaks itself & replicated inside cells
Can lead to male & female sterility, leading cause of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
2. Gonorrhea: pus drainage, painful urination
Female infertility & blindness in newborn (traveling thru infected vaginal canal)
3. Syphilis: Primary stage: Chancre – painless open sore, heals within 1-5 weeks
Secondary stage: systemic (6-24 weeks later) – infection all major body systems
Tertiary stage (neurosyphilis) – extensive motor control damage, memory loss
4. Genital Herpes – Herpes Simplex Virus, type 2
Painful blisters on prepuce, glans penis & penile shaft, vulva & vagina
Virus never disappears, reoccurs several times/year, No cure

B. Anatomy & Physiology:
1. Ovaries: female gonads
a. Follicle: stores ovum (egg), matures egg in response to hormones
b. Corpus Luteum: remainder of the developing follicle, secretes hormones
Ovulation: when a mature follicle ruptures to expel ovum
2. Fallopian (Uterine) Tubes:
a. ciliated tubes, transport ova from ovaries to uterus; fertilization occurs here
1) fimbriae (fingers) sweep ovum into uterine tubes.
3. Uterus: (womb) implants fertilized ovum, growth of embryo/fetus, delivery of baby
a. Perimetrium (outer): serosa
b. Myometrium (middle): smooth muscle
c. Endometrium (inner): mucous membrane in two layers
1) stratum basalis – permanent, replaces the functionalis
2) stratum functionalis – nourish growing baby or is shed each month
during menstruation if fertilization doesn’t occur
d. Regions: fundus: bulge at top, cervix: (inferior), bulge into vagina
Pap smear: *90% reliability: detect malignant cervical cancer cells *
e. Implantation of fertilized ovum: fundus or body of uterus
Ectopic pregnancy: implantation in fallopian tubes or perineum

6. Mammary glands (breasts) – secrete milk; modified sudoriferous glands
a. Nipple: pigmented projection; milk ducts empty
b. Areola: pigmented area around nipple, sebaceous glands: rough appearance
c. Lactation: synthesis, secretion & ejection of milk
1) Prolactin: milk production
2) Oxytocin: milk ejection in response to suckling
Pregnancy & lactation: adipose tissue, breasts increase in size
C. Oogenesis: formation of ova (gametes)
1. Meiosis I: before birth (200,000 oocytes)
*Leads to 1 huge cell (2x cytoplasm) & a small cell (polar body)
2. Meiosis II: puberty (40,000 oocytes left) – monthly stimulated by hormones: mature
Fertilization: completes maturation: large ovum & a 2nd polar body
*diploid zygote: unite nuclei of sperm + ovum, 24 hrs after ovulation
Only 400 primary oocytes mature, the remainder degenerate
D. Female Reproductive Cycle: 28 days
Menstrual cycle – changes in endometrium to prepare for implantation of fertilized ovum;
no fertilization – functionalis shed. Hormonal regulation.
E. Hormonal Regulation:
1. FSH – initial secretion of estrogen
2. LH –devo of oocytes, ovulation, estrogen/progesterone/relaxin & inhibin secretion
3. Estrogen: maintain female anatomy, lower blood cholesterol levels
*secondary characteristics: fat distribution, broaden pelvis, hair growth pattern
4. Progesterone: prepare endometrium for implantation, + mammary glands
5. Relaxin: relax uterus (implantation), flexibility of pubic symphysis, dilate cervix
6. Inhibin: regulation, inhibit FSH secretion (& some LH)
Puberty: (“a ripe age”) – 10 years, secondary sex characteristics
Menarche – first menses
Menopause: permanent cessation of menses (hot flashes, night sweats, headache, hair loss)
Fertility – ability to conceive offspring:
Females – limited fertility time span – due to limitations of follicles

III. PATHOLOGY:
A. Hysterectomy – surgical removal of uterus
*Tx: PID, excessive uterine bleeding, cancer of cervix, uterus or ovaries
B. Breast cancer: 2nd leading cause of female deaths from cancer, 1:8 women
Dx: self exam, mammography
Risk factors: family Hx, no kids, other cancer, radiation, alcohol, smoking, abortion
Tx: lumpectomy, radical mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy
Hm – now you may be thinking, why is having an abortion a risk factor? Well during pregnancy the breast
tissue morphs into milk making machinery. During the first two trimesters of pregnancy, the breast tissue is
considered dysplastic– which means the cells are essentially changing, but they aren’t fully functional yet; it
isn’t until the third trimester that the metamorphosis is complete. So an abortion stops this breast tissue
change during the dysplastic time. In a nutshell, cells that have dysplasia are NON-functional, they undergo
mitosis & duplicate themselves & often lead to CANCER. Spontaneous abortions (miscarriages), when they
are allowed to fully heal themselves without help (like a D & C), are not linked to increased breast cancer
rates.
C. Cervical cancer: start with cervical dysplasia, detected by Pap smear
Risk factors: HPV, many sexual partners, intercourse very young, smoking
D. Endometriosis: growth of tissue out of uterus – still respond to hormonal regulation
Sx: inflammation, pain, scarring, infertility, PMS, menstrual pain
Essentially what is happening here – is that there is a reversal of the cilia’s movement in the Fallopian tubes
that allow the stratum functionalis to migrate into the AP cavity, instead of expelling it out of the body. This
uterine tissue is still responsive to monthly hormonal signals, so there will be periods of internal bleeding.
This tissue becomes a nuisance because it has a bad habit of wrapping around the intestines, Fallopian tubes
& gumming up the rest of the internal works – causing pain & scarring. Generally they take a specific laser in
there, laproscopically to blast away this displaced tissue. After everything is cleaned up the egg is not
hindered by functionalis tissue to travel from the ovary & waved by the fimbriae into the Fallopian tubes. It is
much easier to conceive after the surgery! (Be forewarned! )
E. Female athlete triad – over a long period of time
Triad: disordered eating, amenorrhea, osteoporosis
F. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – extensive bacterial infection of pelvic organs
Sx: pelvic soreness, lower back pain, abdominal pain, urethritis
Infection spreads – fever, painful abscesses of the reproductive organs
G. Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: Candida – yeast-like fungus– inflammation of vagina
Sx: severe itching, cheesy discharge, yeasty odor, pain
Risk factors: antibiotics, the pill, cortisone-like meds, pregnancy, diabetes
Tx: no sugar diet, probiotic, antifungal (grapefruit seed extract) OR lacto-fermented foods
(like Kombucha, Kefir, Sauerkraut, etc.)

5. Recommendations:
a. take the time to learn how the computer system works (practice test) so that you are
comfortable with the mouse, computer, format, etc. (it does NOT subtract from your
time)
b. WRITE DOWN ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS on the scratch paper they give you.
*Some testing sites have not upgraded & have had trouble with the touch screens
recording the answer selected (you choose B and the computer records A).
*Sometimes the computer system freezes (or dies) and they have to reset the program.
c. Mark the questions that you do not know & come back to them to ensure that you
budget your time accurately.
d. DON’T CHANGE YOUR ANSWER unless you are SURE that you read the question
wrong, (if you are guessing – than your first answer is best)
e. Techniques for reducing stress:
*STUDY, STUDY, STUDY
*take rescue remedy before the tests starts (if needed)
*get enough sleep the night before
*eat a good meal & drink WATER before the test
*go to the bathroom BEFORE the test begins
*take a practice run to the test site before test day – so you know where you are going
*arrive EARLY!
*Breathe!
*Access the visual & auditory parts of your brain with your eye patterns.
6. You will be able to take a bathroom break or get a drink of water during the exam but it will take
away from your total test time.
