Urethra

the urethra that is too narrow (urethral stricture). The urethra is the tube that moves urine from the bladder out through the tip of the penis. Urethral stricture makes it difficult or painful to pass urine, and can increase your risk of having more frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The goal of surgery is to remove urethral stricture and restore the normal flow of urine. Urethrotomy is performed by passing a thin tube with a light and camera on the end (cystoscope) into the urethra. An…

prepared for a long anterior midline incision. Some experts prefer to use the exaggerated lithotomy position to give access to the perineum (Mundy, 1997). V.c. Principles: The general principles of anastomotic urethroplasty are to define the healthy urethra above and below the site of the injury and the surrounding fibrosis, then to perform a spatulated end-to-end tension free anastomosis to reduce the risk of recurrence. Tension is relieved by a full mobilization of…

toxins that help reestablish balance. In this paper, I will go over three important facts about the urinary system. . The urinary system is home of: two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder, the sphincter muscle, the nerves in the bladder and the urethra. The kidneys remove urea from the blood through, nephrons. Each nephron entails of glomerulus, and a renal tubule. The glomerulus is what filters the blood, the watery solution. Urea, together with water and other waste matters makes the…

The urinary system compromise of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. The urinary system removes filtered liquid waste and urine. UTIs can occurs any area along the urinary tract. UTIs can be classified as lower and upper depending on the area of the infection. The upper urinary infection can occur in the kidney (pyelonephritis) and the ureters. In the lower urinary, infection can occur in the bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis) and prostate (prostatitis). In the kidneys and ureters…

kidney, ureter, bladder, or urethra. Second, most UTIs are caused by an infection by bacteria, primarily in women and usually in the bladder or urethra. The most common type of UTI is caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. The main reason women are more likely to suffer from urinary tract infections is that women have a shorter urethra, compared to a man, which decreases the distance that bacteria must travel to reach the bladder. Furthermore, the female urethra is often straighter than…

protection as well as regulating sperm production. Interstitial cells outside of the tubules secrete testosterone and stimulates spermatogenesis. Describe the structure and function of the epididymis, ductus (vas) deferens, ejaculatory duct and urethra. Relate the location and storage of sperm to a vasectomy.…

urine. The bladder connects to the urethra and there is a muscular sphincter to stop the leaking of urine. The detrusor muscles contract to release the urine from the bladder and the sphincter relaxes to let the urine out to the urethra. Penis- Penis- The penis can be put into both the excretory and reproductive systems. For the excretory system the penis is how the urine leaves the body in males. The urethra goes through the corpus spongiosum in males. The urethra is longer in males than…

Micturition, meaning urination. Once urine is produces as stated above it then leaves the kidney through the ureter. The ureter connects to the bladder. The ureter has a valve that will not allow urine to backflow into the kidney. The urine flows into the urethra. There is an internal urethral sphincter of smooth muscle…

full, urine is released through the urethra. 2. A urinary tract infection, also known as a UTI, occurs when “bacteria gets into the urinary tract and multiplies.” (Kidney foundation) In other words, a UTI is a bacterial infection in the urinary system, which consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most UTIs occur in the bladder and urethra. A UTI in the bladder is called cystitis, which is caused by the bacteria E. coli, and a UTI in the urethra is called urethritis, which…

remove urea, excess water, and other waste products from the blood and pass them onto the ureters. They are located in the abdominal cavity. URETER: The ureter are long narrow tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. URETHRA: The urethra is the duct that transports urine from the urinary bladder to the exterior of the body. OVARIES: The ovaries are the female reproductive organs that produce gametes (ova), estrogen, and progesterone. OVIDUCT:Tube that links the ovary…
