Kidney
Fingering blood and produce urine
Uterus
Carey urine from renal pelvis to the bladder
Bladder
Holds urine until it’s discharged
Urethra
Passageway for urine from urinary bladder
Adrenal glands
Produces hormones Adrenalin
Renal vein
Returns blood from kidney to inferior vena cava
Renal artery
Supplies blood to the kidney
Renal pelvis
Passes urine to the ureters
Major calyx
Passes urine from minor calyx to the renal pyramid
Minor calyx
Passes urine from renal papilla to major calyx
Sieve-like papillae
Passes urine from collecting duct to minor calyx
Actuate arteries
Supply blood to the cortex of the kidneys
Bowman’s capsule
Surrounds the ball of the glomerulus
Afferent arteriole
transport blood towards the glomerulus
Efferent arteriole
Transports blood from the glomerulus
Proximal tubule
Secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions
Descending loop and descending loop
Secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions
Loop of henle
Secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions
Collecting duct
Some reabsorption of water
Internal urethra sphincter
Smooth muscle valve guarding the urethral orifice
Urethra
Takes urine from the bladder to the exterior of the body
Peritubular capillaries
Absorption of filtrates
Testis
Produce sperm
Epidiymis
Transport sperms from testis to vas deference
Vas deference
Transports sperm from epididymis to ejaculatory duct
Seminal vesicle
Produces fluid that nourishes the sperm
Ejaculatory duct
Takes sperm from vas deference to prostatic urethra
Cowpers gland
Washes out urine in the urethra
Corpus spongionosum
Keeps the urethra open dying male erection
Acrosome
Breaks down the zone pellucida to allow sperm inside the ovum
Peritoneum
Protection
Suspensory ligament
Holds the penis close to the pubic bone
Perimetrium
Protection
Infundibulum with fimbrae
Draws ovum in after ovulation
Fallopian tube
Site of fertilization
