Question | Answer |
kidneys function | filter blood from renal arteries; produce urine as waste |
ureters | transmits urine to bladder |
urethra | through which urine passes out of body |
renal capsule | thin but tough covering for kidneys |
cortex | outer portion of kidney |
medulla | inner portion of kidney; made of segments: renal pyramids |
renal pyramids | in medulla; contain collecting ducts that drain urine to minor calyces; pyramids separated by RENAL COLUMNS |
renal columns | separate renal pyramids in medulla |
minor calyces converge --> ____ --> ____ | major calyces --> RENAL PELVIS |
renal pelvis becomes... | portion of kidney that narrows to become URETER |
retroperitoneal | position of kidney: within abdominal cavity, posterior to peritoneal cavity |
males: major structures of pelvic cavity | urinary bladder, prostate, rectum |
females: structures of pelvic cavity | ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, bladder, rectum |
testes lie within _______ | scrotum |
scrotum | outside of pelvic cavity behind penis, contain testes |
vas deferen | tubes connecting testes to rest of male reproductive system by transporting sperm from EPIDIDYMIS --> URETHRA |
seminal vesicles | paired glands that joins w/ vas deferens --> ejaculatory ducts |
ejaculatory ducts | composted of VAS DEFERENS & SEMINAL VESICLES; empty into prostate gland |
prostate gland | to which ejaculatory ducts empties; allows semen to pass into URETHRA |
urethra's 3 regions | prostatic, membranous, spongy urethra |
prostatic urethra | as urethra passes through prostate |
membranous urethra | as urethra passes through muscular floor of pelvis |
spongy urethra | urethra passes out of pelvis and through penis |
penis composed of ________ tissues | erectile tissues |
penis's 3 chambers | 2 corpora cavernosa (paired), corpus spongiosum |
corpora cavernosa | paired upper chambers of penis; close in contact throughout penis, @ base, diverge to attach to inferior rami |
corpus spongiosum | 3rd chamber of penis, surround URETHRA when emerges from pelvis --> forms GLANS |
glans | at bottom/ tip of penis, formed by corpus spongiosum |
uterine tubes | = fallopian tubes in humans; 2 uterine tubes join to form body of uterus |
cervix | muscle ring= most inferior portion of uterus |
vagina | muscular tube that connects uterus to exterior; =birth canal & sex organ |
labia majora | skin-covered structure surrounding vulva (external genitalia) |
labia minora | internal of labia majora; merge to form clitoris |
clitoris | small erectile organ derived from embryological structure w/ penis; formed from labia minora merge |
external urethra orifice | opening of urethra; posterior to clitoris, anterior to vagina opening |
