	Urinary System - MSN Encarta
		The major organs of the urinary system are the kidneys, a pair of bean-shaped organs that continuously filter substances from the blood and produce urine.
		For instance, the presence of glucose, or blood sugar, in the urine is a sign of diabetes mellitus; bacteria in the urine signal an infection of the urinary system; and red blood cells in the urine may indicate cancer of the urinary tract.
		Among the many inherited and congenital disorders of the urinary system are polycystic renal diseases, in which numerous cysts form in the kidney, reducing the amount of functioning renal tissue.

	URINARY SYSTEM
		The system consists of paired kidneys with ureters, a urinary bladder, and urethra.
		The kidney is covered by a thin connective tissue capsule and consists of an outer cortex and medullary pyramid or papillae (Kidney).
		The nephron is composed of: (1) the glomerulus, a tuft of capillaries, which produces the glomerular filtrate, housed in the renal corpuscle; followed by a series of tubules, specialized for excretion and reabsorption, including (2) the proximal convoluted tubule, (3) the descending and ascending loop of Henle, and (4) the distal convoluted tubule.

		The ureters are fibromuscular tubes that conduct the urine to the urinary bladder.
		The urethra is the urinary tube leading from the bladder to the external orifice (in the male via the penis, in the female it is a fairly straight short muscular tube, 2-6cm)

		With this type, a neurologic abnormality impairs the signaling systems between the bladder and the central nervous system, and the brain is unable to inhibit the detrusor muscles controlling urination.
		Drugs that affect the adrenergic system, a nerve-cell and hormonal pathway that regulates the sphincter muscle, are common causes incontinence.
