|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 비뇨기계통이라하면 콩팥으로부터 시작해서 요관, 방광, 요도에 이르는 일련의 오줌생성 및 저장, 배설기관을 일컫는다. 콩팥은 길이 약 2.5cm, 폭 약 5.1cm, 두께 약 2.5cm, 무게 약 120~160gm으로서, 내측에 콩팥문이 있어 혈관, 신경, 요관이 출입하고 있다. 콩팥은 속질과 겉질로 이루어져 있으며 수질은 10~15개의 추체(오줌을 모으는 역할)를 형성하고 겉질은 약 100만개의 콩팥단위으로 구성되어 있다. 요세관은 토리쪽뇨세관, 헨레고리, 먼쪽뇨세관, 집합관으로 형성되어 있으며, 추체와 술잔, 깔때기를 거쳐 요관으로 연결된다. 콩팥은 혈액을 여과하여 신체 신진대사의 최종산물을 오줌의 형태로 배설하며, 세포외액(extracellular fluid)의 전해질농도를 조절한다. 콩팥에서 형성된 오줌는 요관을 거쳐 방광에서 저장되고 있다가 적당한 시기가 되면 요도를 통해 외계로 배출된다. |

| 영문 | urinary incontinence | 한글 | 요실금 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 방광조임근 및 요도조임근의 수의적 조절이 안되기 때문에 오줌이 항상, 또는 때때로 불수의적으로 배설되는 것. 참실금(true incontinence): 신경계통의 이상에 의한 진성요실금. 신경계통의 이상이므로 치료는 불가능한 경우가 많다. 긴박실금(urge incontinence): 방광 등의 염증에 의한 급박요실금. 염증에 의한 자극증상으로 염증을 치료하면 자연히 소실된다. 스트레스실금(stress incontinence): 골반의 해부학적 지지구조의 약화에 의해 기침 등 복압이 증가하는 상황에서 순간적으로 발생하는 요실금. 대개 나이 많은 여성에서 많으며, 다출산의 경력을 가지고 있다. 치료는 수술적 방법이다. 넘침실금(overflow incontinence): 방광이하부위의 폐색에 의해 오줌이 배설되지 못하고 방광에 저류되다가 방광의 저장용량을 넘는 순간 주체하지 못하고 나타나는 요실금. |

| reproductive medicine | A medical-surgical specialty concerned with the morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology of reproduction in man and other animals, and on the biological, medical, and veterinary problems of fertility and lactation. It includes ovulation induction, diagnosis of infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, and assisted reproductive technologies such as embryo transfer, in vitro fertilization, and intra-fallopian transfer of zygotes.

| reproductive nucleus | <cell biology> The smaller nucleus in ciliate protozoans, fully active in inheritance and passed after meiosis to conjugating pairs. Gives rise to the macronucleus or macronuclei. Genes in the micronucleus are not actively transcribed. (18 Nov 1997) |
| reproductive ratio | <epidemiology> 1. Basic reproductive ratio , Ro , a dimensionless parameter which encapsulates the biological details of different transmission mechanisms. For microparasites, Ro , is defined as the average number of secondary cases of infection to which one primary case gives rise throughout its infectious period if introduced into a defined population consisting solely of susceptible individuals. For macroparasites, Ro , is the average number of female offspring (or just offspring in the case of hermaphroditic species) produced throughout the lifetime of a mature female parasite, which themselves achieve reproductive maturity in the absence of density-dependent constraints on the parasite establishment, survival or reproduction. Also known as the basic reproduction rate, number. 2. Effective reproductive ratio , R , The number of secondary cases (microparasites) or female offspring (macroparasites) produced in a host population not consisting entirely of susceptible individuals (microparasites) or within which density dependent constraints limit parasite population growth (macroparasites). Under conditions of stable endemic infection, R=1. (05 Dec 1998) |
