Section I. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GENITOURINARY ORGANS

 

3-1. INTRODUCTION

 

The urinary organs in the male or female include two kidneys that excrete urine, two ureters that convey urine from the kidneys to the bladder, which in turn serves as a reservoir for the reception of urine, and a urethra through which the urine is discharged from the body. In the male, the reproductive system consists of the testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, penis, urethra, prostate, and bulbourethral glands. These organs have a direct or indirect function in the process of procreation. The reproductive system in the female has been discussed in lesson 2.
