  2. Arachnoid granulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoid_granulation

    Arachnoid granulations (also arachnoid villi, and Pacchionian granulations or bodies) are small outpouchings of the arachnoid mater and subarachnoid space into the dural venous sinuses of the brain. The granulations are thought to mediate the draining of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space into the venous system .

  3. Urine test strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_test_strip

    The urine test strip test for blood is based on hemoglobin's pseudo peroxidase activity in catalysing a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and the chromogen tetramethylbenzidine in order to produce a dark blue oxidation product. [6] [13] the resultant colour can vary between green and dark blue depending on the amount of hemoglobin. [13]

  4. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

    Blood tests are also used to assess kidney function. These include tests that are intended to directly measure the function of the kidneys, as well as tests that assess the function of the kidneys by looking for evidence of problems associated with abnormal function. One of the measures of kidney function is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

  5. Dural venous sinuses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dural_venous_sinuses

    [1] [2] They receive blood from the cerebral veins, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space via arachnoid granulations. They mainly empty into the internal jugular vein. [2] Cranial venous sinuses communicate with veins outside the skull through emissary veins. These communications help to keep the pressure of blood in the ...

  6. Arachnoid mater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoid_mater

    The arachnoid mater (or simply arachnoid) is one of the three meninges, the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. It is so named because of its resemblance to a spider web . The arachnoid mater is a derivative of the neural crest mesoectoderm in the embryo.

  7. Superior sagittal sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_sagittal_sinus

    The superior sagittal sinus (also known as the superior longitudinal sinus), within the human head, is an unpaired dural venous sinus lying along the attached margin of the falx cerebri.

  8. Urinalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinalysis

    Specific gravity is a measure of the concentration of the urine, which provides information about hydration status and kidney function. It normally ranges from 1.003 to 1.035; lower values indicate that the urine is dilute, while higher values mean that it is concentrated.

  9. Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_proliferative_glomer...

    Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis is a disorder of the small blood vessels of the kidney.It is a common complication of bacterial infections, typically skin infection by Streptococcus bacteria types 12, 4 and 1 but also after streptococcal pharyngitis, for which it is also known as postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) or poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN).
