Anatomy of the Urinary and Reproductive Systems
ITEM 7 Parts of the Urinary System
Secretory (Kidneys)
: produces and secretes urine
Excretory
: expels urine out of tissues
Tips on Kidney Tissues
: medullary fibrous tissue is composed of native tissue and supporting tissue filler
Adrenal Glands
: located on the sup limb of the kidney, no renal function
Medulla Composition
: Pyramids of Malpighi are rectangular spaces within the kidney formed by tube straight uriniferous peeking into a pore
Cortical Substance Structures
: Ferrein Pyramids rest on the pyramids of Malpighi, formed by extensions of uriniferous stas
Columns of Bertin
: Prolongations of cortical substance to the renal sinus
Malpighian Corpuscles
: Formed by one capsule (Bowman’s) and 1 vascular pole and one urinal
Urinary Kidney
: found within the kidney and includes chalices and renal pelvis
Bladder
: musculomembranous receptacle that holds urine until urination
Urethral Elements
: fibromuscular conduit for urine passage
Male and Female Urethra
: urinary and ejaculatory channel in men, urinary duct exclusively in women
Vascularization of the Kidney
: essential for blood cleansing
Male Genital Organs
: testes, ductus deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory duct, urethra, penis, prostate, Cowper’s gland
Male Reproductive Anatomy
: external, internal, and new external portions
Testicles
: male sexual apparatus glands with anatomic fibrous covering
Ejaculatory Canal
: from the union of vas deferens and seminal vesicle to the penis
Penis Anatomy
: erectile cavernous bodies, corpus spongiosum, mechanical process of erection
Prostate Gland
: organ beneath the bladder, shaped cone
Cowper Gland
: pea-sized gland located behind the urethral bulb
Female Genitalia
: internal and external genitalia
Ovaries
: essential organs of the female sexual apparatus
Ovarian Constitution
: medulla, Graafian follicles, interstitial gland
Uterine Tube
: channels attached to the ovary
Uterus
: muscular organ with anatomic constitution
Uterine Ligaments
: peritoneal, muscular, mucosa layers
Vagina
: cylindrical musculomembranous structure
External Genitalia
: vulva, clitoris, vaginal bulbs, gland function
