RENAL SYSTEM 1. Acute unilateral renal obstruction and hypertension. The reduced perfusion (kidneys require at least 20-25% cardiac output – MAP) of the affected kidney activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which causes constriction of peripheral arterioles. The most common type of renal stone is Calcium oxalate. Passage of kidney stones can be extremely painful and may produce “referred pain” to umbilicus area – this is due to the sensory innervation of the ...

• Reproductive: o Endometrial cycle (menstrual cycle) and the occurrence of ovulation ▪ During menstruation (menses), the functional layer if endometrium disintegrates and is discharges through the vagina. ▪ Follicular/proliferative phase - GnRH and a balance between activin and inhibin from the granulosa cells contribute to the rise of FSH levels, which stimulates a number of follicles. The pulsatile secretion of FSH from the anterior pituitary gland rescues a dominant ovarian follicle...

• The production of estrogen and progesterone continues until the placenta can adequately maintain hormonal production. If conception and implantation do not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates and ceases production of progesterone and estrogen. Without progesterone or estrogen to maintain it, the endometrium becomes ischemic and disintegrates. Menstruation then occurs marking the beginning of another cycle. ▪ Ovulatory cycles appear to have a minimum length of 24 to 26.5 days: the pr...
