what is the urinary system composed of
paired kidneys (urine formation)
paired ureters (convey urine to bladder)
urinary bladder (storage)
the urethra (discharge)
what is the endocrine function of the kidney ?
to make renin and erythropoitin (RBC formation)
which kidney is more cranial ?
right
what kidney is located below 3r to 5th lumbar vertebrae?
left
what does the internal structure of the kidney consist of?
cortex
medulla
renal crest
renal pelvis
renal recesses
renal sinus
renal cortex
outer part of the parenchyma (kidney tissue)
shows granular appearance with reddish brown color
medulla
inner part of the parenchyma
shows two zones
interlobar vessels
medullary pyramids
medually zones divided by interlobar vessels, these are not distinct in the dog.
renal crest
inner margin of the medulla (towards the hilus) which is in the form of crest

projects into renal pelvis
renal pelvis
widened funnel shaped origin of the ureter
located inside the kidney
collects the produce of the kidney
continues as a ureter from each kidney
renal recesses
extensions of the renal pelvis into medulla on both sides of the crest
renal sinus
the space occupied by the renal pelvis and adipose tissue at the hilus of the kidney
the nephron is composed of what
renal corpuscle
proximal convoluted tubule
hairpin loop/ loop of henle
distal convoluted tubule
collecting tubule
papillary ducts
renal corpuscle
nephron begins as a blind expansion, glomerular capsule which is invaginated by a capillary cluster called glomerulus
proximal convoluted tubule
is the segment next to glomerular capsule which is highly coiled and continues into the loop of henle
loop of henle
u shaped tubule that has thin descending loop and thick ascending loop
distal convoluted tubule
a further continuation of ascending loop, which is also coiled
collecting tubule
is the last segment, which continues with papillary duct
papillary ducts
open into the renal pelvis at the renal papillae/ crest in the dog
ureters
extend from kidneys to bladder
begin at renal pelvis to origin of bladder
located along the roof of the abdominal cavity
accompany ductus deferens in male and broad ligament of uterus in female
prevents reflux of urine into ureter
urinary bladder
thick walled muscular sac that serves as a temporary reservoir of the urine
located on the floor of the pelvic cavity
when empty, remains contracted and inside pelvic cavity
when full, it is distended and gets projected into the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity
how is the urinary bladder attached to the pelvic wall?
left and right lateral ligaments
median ligament, ventrally to the pelvic floor
round ligaments are on the cranial edge of the lateral ligaments
the lateral ligaments are remnants of what?
fetal umbilical arteries
the female genitalia consist of 7 things
ovaries
uterine tubes
uterus- horns and body
cervix
vagina
vestibule
vulva
what suspends the ovaries in the abdominal cavity
mesovarium
what attaches the ovaries to the last rib?
suspensory ligament
internal ovary
cortex
medulla
cortex of ovary
outer part, dense
surrounded by tunica albugenia
ovary medulla
inner loosely arranged
graafian follicles
at different developmental stages can be seen embedded in the cortex
the uterine tube
thin
enclosed as suspended by mesosalpinx
carries mature ovum to uterine horn
site of fertilization
the wall of the uterine tube is composed of ?
mucosa
muscular layer
and outermost serosa
what is the opening of the uterine tube into the abdominal opening?
abdominal ostium
what is the opening of uterine tube to uterine horn called?
uterine ostium
what are the three parts of the uterine tube?
infundibulum
ampulla
isthumus
infundibulum
proximal widened funnel shaped portion. Finger like projections called fimbriae graps ovum
ampulla
distal to the infundibulum the wider and less tortous part
isthumus
terminal part oviduct that opens into the uterine horn. opening is referred to as uterine papillae in the bitch
uterus
womb
largest part of genitalia
site of implantation of embryo
bicornuate uterus
where is the uterus located?
in the abdominal cavity dorsal to the intestinal loops

ventral to rectum at pelvic inlet
what are the three layers of the uterus wall
endometrium (inner mucosa)
myometrium (middle muscularis)
perimetrium (outermost serosa)
uterine horns
long in polyocous (bitch) animals
diverge from uterine body
located in the abdominal cavity
uterine body
wider, union of the two horns
very short segment
cervix uteri
narrowest lumen and thickest wall
serves as a spinchter
vaginal portion projects into the vagina
fornix vagina recess around the vaginal portion
what is the internal ostium
body of the uterus
what is external ostium
vagina
broad ligament of the uterus
combined ligament formed by the mesovarium, mesosalpinx, and mesometrium

peritoneal fold with considerable thickness, which suspends female genitalia in the abdomal and pelvic cavity
vagina
distensible copulatory organ
distinct longitudinal and indistinct circular mucosal folds
vaginal fornix
proximal vagina distally limited by vaginal ostium continued caudally as the vestibule
vaginal vestibule
extends from the external urethral opening into the vagina to the vulvar cleft
where are the female accessory sex glands located?
in the walls of the vestibule
external genital organs
vulva and clitoris
vuvla
consists of the vulvar lips and vulvar cleft
vulvar lips form vulvar commissures
dorsal commisure is rounded, ventral vommisure is pointed
the clitoris is wheere?
in the clitorial fossa, sometimes protrude through it, like prepuce in males.
