Question
Chapter 48.5, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The structure that is associated with the functions such as urea formation, urine formation, temporary storage of urine, and conduction of urine out of the body.
Introduction: The urinary system is the drainage system of the body for removing the wastes in the form of urine. For this process, the parts of the urinary system should work together in coordination. The mammalian urinary system includes kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.

Which structure(s) is/are associated with each of the following functions: urea formation, urine formation, temporary storage of urine, and conductionof urine out of the body?
Ingestion of carbonated soft drinks, coffee, and tea instead of water has caused us to be chronically dehydrated. Discuss the impact of this dehydration on overall health and how concentrated urine, indicated by its yellow color, signals the need for more water consumption, while clear and colorless urine indicates that water intake is sufficient.
The presence of either protein or glucose in a urinalysis is abnormal, but these two molecules end up in the urine for different reasons. For each of these molecules, briefly describe where in the urine production process (i.e., glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption or tubular secretion) the problem occurs, and why it might happen.
