A cup of pee anyone?

A cup of pee anyone?

HAHA..yesterday i had my experimental physiology prac and we had to pee in cups!well containers...like u noe the ones where they put cookies into and sell during chinese new year?...yea but not quite as transparent...haha..ok so in each group there are 6 subjects...

subject 1- Control - doesnt get any waterload
subject 2- Waterload- 8mls times body weight in kg
subject 3- Waterload and ADH(by NASAL spray! eew)- 8 mls times body weight in kg
subject 4- Waterload and exercise- 8 mls times body weight in kg
subject 5- Isotonic saline and glucose( so its SALTY SUGAR WATER!)- 8 mls times body weight in kg
subject 6- 1ml VODKA and 7mls waterload- 8mls times body weight in kg

FUN NO?....then at like every interval of like 30 mins we had to go to the toilet and pee in these containers they gave us..and like analyse sodium content and osmolarity...haha...was quite a mindless prac really...

Pee..measure...dilute...analyse....repeat cycle...i was the control(luckily) so i dint have to do anything but label the sample cups n all..haha...interesting prac if u ask me..so we peed 4 times man =_=..one before the waterload...then 3 times after that...haha...time went by really quick...

At the end all the pee gets chucked down the sink..and we were asked to flush it down with PLENTY of water...heh...some ppl couldnt pee on demand hahahaha...so..no sample...

hehe no pictures of pee in cups (cos number one, thts gross and number two, i dint bring my camera =))
