- Urogenital system
- Urinary system
- Kidneys filter blood
- Fibrous capsule
- Cortex
- Grainy appearance due to corpuscles
- Renal corpuscle
- Glomerulus
- Bowman's capsule
- Site of ultrafiltration
- Glomerulus
- Site of ultrafiltration
- Renal corpuscle
- Grainy appearance due to corpuscles
- Medulla
- Filtration occurs in nephrons
- Found in renal pyramids, extend from cortex to medulla

- Bowman's capsule
- Renal corpuscle
- Grainy appearance due to corpuscles
- Proximal convoluted tubule
- Reabsorption of water and solutes (e.g. glucose
- Loop of Henle
- Maintains medullary concentration gradient
- Loop of Henle
- Maintains medullary concentration gradient
- Distal convoluted tubule
- Reabsorption of ions
- Found in renal pyramids, extend from cortex to medulla
- Ureter
- Bladder stores urine
- Transitional epithelium
- Layer of smooth muscle to assist urination
- Controlled by parasympathetic nervous system
- Ureters enter at the trigone region
- Tubule from kidneys to bladder
- Enters bladder at oblique angle to prevent backflow

- Ureter
- Tubule from kidneys to bladder
- Enters bladder at oblique angle to prevent backflow
- Urethra conveys urine from bladder to outside the body
- Short in females
- Kidneys filter blood
- Female reproductive system
- Ovaries are where oocytes and some hormones are produced
- Structure
- Outer epithelium
- Cortex containing follicles
- Inner medullary region
- Hormones
- Oestrogen produced by follicles
- Cortex containing follicles
- Stimulates luteinizing hormone
- Progesterone produced by corpus luteum
- Maintains thickened endrometrium for implantation
- Oestrogen produced by follicles
- Structure
- Fibriae lead to uterine horn, leads to uterus, leads to cervix to vagina to vestibule to *****
- External urethral orifice between vagina and vestibule
- Short in females
- Uterus has layers of smooth muscle for parturition
- Stimulated by oxytocin
- Cervix acts as sphincter, keeping uterus closed except during copulation and parturition
- External urethral orifice between vagina and vestibule
- Ovaries are where oocytes and some hormones are produced
- Male reproductive system
- Penis
- Corpus cavernosum forms dorsal side
- Tissue full of many pockets (caverns)
- Erectile tissue
- Tissue full of many pockets (caverns)
- Corpus spongiosum surrounds urethra
- Urethra divided into pelvic and penile urethra
- Tunica albuginea surrounds the two tissues
- Corpus cavernosum forms dorsal side
- Testes
- Testes hang outside body in scrotum
- Spermatogenesis occurs best below body temperature
- Full of convoluted seminiferous tubules
- Site of spermatogenesis
- Epithelium has Sertoli ('nurse') cells
- Interstitial Leydig cells
- Produce testosterone
- Seminiferous tubules drain into epididymis
- Epididymis connects to vas deferens
- Testes hang outside body in scrotum
- Accessory glands
- Ampullary glands
- Vesicular glands
- Prostate gland
- Bulbourethral glands
- Very large in boars
- Penis
- Urinary system
- Found in renal pyramids, extend from cortex to medulla
- Proximal convoluted tubule
- Reabsorption of water and solutes (e.g. glucose
- Distal convoluted tubule
- Reabsorption of ions
- Proximal convoluted tubule
