dihydrotestosterone.
 The location of the characteristic hyperplastic nodules of BPH is: Prostate
nodules are usually located in the periurethral zone.
 The prostate specific antigen (PSA) helps to liquefy semen post-ejaculation.
TRUE. The luminal cells produce PSA which helps to liquefy semen post-
ejaculation.
 The underlying cause of BPH is that normal prostate cells respond to increases
in dihydrotestosterone that causes them to live longer and multiply. This
statement is true. The underlying cause of BPH is that normal prostate cells
respond to increases in dihydrotestosterone that causes them to live longer and
multiply.
 Men who have BPH are prone to developing a UTI because: Stagnation of urine
in the bladder promotes bacterial growth which can lead to a UTI.
 Renal calculi are typically confined to the bladder. FALSE. Renal calculi can be
found in the ureter or bladder.
 Renal stones are formed when calcium and oxalate in the urine combine. TRUE.
Stones form when calcium and oxalate in the urine combine.
 The gold standard for diagnosing a renal stone is a urinalysis. FALSE. The gold
standard for diagnosing a renal stone is CT scan.
 The most common type of stone is: Calcium stones are the most commonly
formed stones.
 The type of stone that forms due to a urinary tract infection is: Struvite stones
commonly result from a UTI.
 Lithotripsy is an invasive procedure used to break up the stone. FALSE.
Lithotripsy, is a non-invasive procedure and will be performed if the stone lodges
on the way out.
 Renal colic is caused by the passing of the stone through the ureter. TRUE.

 At least half of individuals with renal stones will have a reoccurrence within 10
years of the prior stone. TRUE
 The most common stone found in the patient with gout is: uric acid stone.
 The relay station in the brain that plays a major role in regulating micturition is:
The pontine micturition center (PMC) located in the brainstem, performs a major
role in regulating micturition.
 When the bladder is empty, the detrusor muscle relaxes, and the internal and
external sphincters constrict. TRUE. When the bladder is empty, there is detrusor
muscle relaxation and internal and external sphincter constriction.
 The location of the internal sphincter is under the urogenital diaphragm. FALSE.
The internal sphincter is located in the bladder rather than the urogenital
diaphragm.
 Which of the following actions will relax the detrusor muscle of the bladder?
When Beta-2 receptors are activated by the sympathetic nervous system, the
detrusor muscle will relax.
 The levator ani muscle plays a major role in constriction of the external sphincter.
TRUE. Plays a major role in constriction of the external sphincter when the
abdomen contracts, especially when abdominal pressure is exerted on the
bladder.
 Involuntary loss of urine caused by dementia or immobility is known as:
Functional incontinence is related to dementia or immobility.
 The pathophysiology of neurogenic bladder is: Neurogenic bladder involves
lesions that alter the nervous system impulses that innervate the detrusor muscle
to decrease bladder compliance and decreased sphincter tone.
 A sphincter malfunction that prevents urine from flowing out of the bladder would
most likely result in: Overflow incontinence is due bladder distention caused by
sphincter malformation that prevents urine from flowing out of the bladder.
