Ureters, Urinary Bladder, And Urethra

Front 1

a distendable epithelial tissue found in the mucosal layer of hte ureters

Back 1

transitional epithelium (ureters)

Front 2

two smooth muscle sheets (three in the lower third of the ureter); internal, longitudinal, external circular, and external longitudinal respectively; responsible for propelling urine into the bladder via peristalsis

Back 2

muscle layers (ureters)

Front 3

a distendable epithelial tissue found in the mucosal layer of the bladder

Back 3

transitional epithelium (unirary bladder)

Front 4

detrusor muscle; consists of intermingled smooth muscle fibers arranged in inner and outer longitudinal layers and a middle circular layer

Back 4

muscle layers (urinary bladder)

Front 5

triangular region of the posterior bladder wall outlined by the openings for the urters and the urethra; prone to infection

Back 5

trigone

Front 6

the urethra's mucosal lining is primarily pseudostratified columnar epithelium, but changes to this type near the bladder, and becomes stratified squamous epithelium near the external opening

Back 6

transtional epithelium (urethra)

Front 7

detrusor muscle; thickens at it's proximal end to form the internal urethral sphincter

Back 7

muscle layers (urethra)

Front 8

the portion of the urethra, approx. 1" long, the runs within the prostate

Back 8

prostatic

Front 9

the portions of the urethra that runds through the urogenital diaphragm, and extends about 2cm from the prostate to the beginning of the penis

Back 9

membranes

Front 10

the portion of the urethra, about 15cm long, that passes through the penis and spens at its tip via the exteral urethral orifice

Back 10

spongy
