Therefore, whenever a ddNTP is added to a growing DNA strand, it is unable to chemically bind with the next nucleotide in the chain, and the DNA strand stops growing. Figure 3: By adding together information about all of the truncated strands, researchers can determine the nucleotide sequence of the DNA target.
Functions of the Bladder. Temporary store of urine â The bladder is a hollow organ. The walls are very distensible, with a folded internal lining (known as rugae), this allows it to hold up to 600ml. Assists in the expulsion of urine â During voiding, the musculature of the bladder contracts, and the sphincters relax.
Hydronephrosis is the swelling of a kidney due to a build-up of urine. It happens when urine cannot drain out from the kidney to the bladder from a blockage or obstruction. Hydronephrosis can occur in one or both kidneys. The main function of the urinary tract is to remove wastes and fluid from the body. The urinary tract has four parts: the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder and urethra. The urine is formed when the kidneys filter blood and remove excess waste materials and fluid.
