Summary Introduction

To determine: The five characteristics of urine and their features that can be found by medical examination.

Introduction: The wastes produced during metabolic processes are removed from the body by the excretory system. The fluid water produced by the body is called urine. The doctors detect the normal functioning of body systems by analyzing the urine.

Explanation of Solution

The five characteristics of urine that can be found by medical examination are as follows:

  • Color:

    The color of urine is used to detect the concentration of different ions and solutes present in the body. The yellow colored urine indicates a higher concentration of solutes, while pale-colored urine represents diluted solutes.

  • Odor

    The odor of the urine indicates the presence of infections in the urine. The microbes infecting the humans excrete, and their excreted substances are reflected in the urine.

  • Clarity

    The urine with less clarity indicates that it contains a high amount of cells. The cells give a hazy appearance to the urine.

  • Taste

    The taste of the urine is an indication of the amount of glucose present in the body. The secretion of the high amount of glucose is harmful to the body.

  • Froth

    The abnormal proteins present inside the body can be detected by the froth produced by the urine. These types of proteins are harmful to the body.

Conclusion

Color, odor, clarity, taste, and froth are the five characteristics of urine that can be detected by the medical examination.

We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.
