MON 27
Urinary System: Kidneys to Micturition
Kidney functions, the nephron, the path of urine, and how the bladder empties.
BIO 304 · Week 8 of 8 · Jul 27 to 31 · Final Week
How the kidneys filter, and how bodies make new people.
The last week, in five lecture days. Monday is the urinary system, Tuesday is clinical urinalysis (reading a real UA), Wednesday is a catch-up day, Thursday is male reproduction, and Friday is female reproduction and the mammary glands. There are two lab workbooks this week, and both are due Friday, July 31 by 5:00 PM. Nothing is due mid-week, work at your own pace.
How each day runs
Watch, then do the workbook.
Same rhythm every lecture day. Watch the short video, run your nightly spaced-recall cards, and build the matching workbook. Both workbooks are due Friday at 5:00 PM.
01
Watch the day's video
Open the day's lecture from its card below and watch it start to finish before you open the workbook.
02
Run the nightly cards
DOK 1 to DOK 3 spaced-recall cards. They carry into future Daily Reviews so the work compounds.
03
Build the workbook
Every answer is in the videos. Type your answers, draw or upload your diagrams, and it autosaves as you go.
04
Save as PDF and submit
Both workbooks are due Friday, July 31 by 5:00 PM. Save as PDF and upload to Canvas.

A note from me
Last week. You've got this.
Two workbooks this week instead of the usual per-topic ones. Workbook 1 pulls together Monday and Tuesday (the kidney and reading a urinalysis), and Workbook 2 pulls together Thursday and Friday (reproduction). Everything is due Friday at 5:00 PM, so plan your week.
The urinalysis mind map at the end of Workbook 1 is the one I want you to really sit with. If you ever run a dipstick as a medical assistant, that map is how you will read it.

Ready to start
Start with Monday's kidney lecture.
Watch the urinary system video, then open Workbook 1. The clinical urinalysis piece makes a lot more sense once you can picture the nephron.
