Pelvis, Urinary System, Reproductive System

Question 1

kidney

Answer 1

The kidneys function to filter our blood, keeping nutrients and fluids in the blood while removing waste products from the blood.

Question 2

renal cortex

Answer 2

this is the outer portion of the kidney that makes up the cortical columns

Question 3

renal pyramids

Answer 3

-this is the dark structures in the kidney that look kinda like triangles

Question 4

hilum

Answer 4

this is where all the vessels enter the kidney

Question 5

minor calyx

Answer 5

this is what collects the urine from a single pyramid.

- it will be right outside of the pyramid tip

Question 6

renal medulla

Answer 6

this is the renal pyramids that are darker in the kidneys

Question 7

renal columns

Answer 7

these are the lighter tissues that go between the renal pyramids

Question 8

major calyx

Answer 8

these are where the minor calices drain

- this drains into the renal pelvis

Question 9

ureter

Answer 9

this is the tube that carries urine down to the bladder

• the renal pelvis dumps into this
• these enter the inferor posterior aspec of the bladder at an angle

Question 10

renel pelvis

Answer 10

this is what the major calices dump into

- it is thicker and is seen in the hilum and then turns into the ureter

Question 11

renal artery

Answer 11

• this is lateral to the superior mesenteric artery and connects to the kidney
• and this branches off of the descending aorta

Question 12

renal vein

Answer 12

these exit through the hilum and connects with the inferior vena cava
- it appears thin and floppy

Question 13

superior mesenteric artery

Answer 13

• this branches off the descending aorta and it is inferior to the celiac trunk

Question 14

inferior mesenteric artery

Answer 14

this is located further down on the descending aorta

-this one is smaller than the superior one

Question 15

bladder

Answer 15

• some photos show this having some brown stuff in the middle
• it is going to be inferior to the uterus in the female
• it is going to be superior to the prostate in the male

Question 16

urethra

Answer 16

(in the male)
the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the penis
- the first portion is called the prostatic uretha which is closest to the bladder
-this portion is going through the prostate
-the second portion is the membranous urethra and that runs from the pelvic floor to the tip of the penis
(in the female)
- positioned anterior to the vagina
- it is much shorter in females than males because it doesn’t go through the penis

Question 17

spongy urethra

Answer 17

this is the portion of the urethra that runs through the center of the penis
-through the bulb and corpus spongiosum

Question 18

descending aorta

Answer 18

• located medially
• this has the celiac trunk branching off of it
• it has the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries
• it is lateral (and slightly anterior) to the inferior vena cava
• it will be branch into two at the bottom

Question 19

inferior vena cava

Answer 19

• runs lateral on the right side (persons right not my right) to the decending aorta
• the renal veins enter on it
• will look more collapsed than the decending aorta

Question 20

aortic arch

Answer 20

this is what branches right out of the heart and then divides into the ascending and descending aorta

Question 21

ascending aorta

Answer 21

this is the portion that moves superiorly to feed the upper extremites and head

Question 22

celiac trunk

Answer 22

• branches off the anterior side of the abdominal aorta in the thorax
• It gives off three major branches called left gastric, common hepatic and splenic arteries.
• it is the second branch on the descending aorta

Question 23

vesticouterine pouch

Answer 23

• between the uterus and the bladder
• can be seen in the saggital cross-sectional images
• it is just a pelvic space

Question 24

rectouterine pouch

Answer 24

between the uterus and the rectum

- it is just a pelvic space

Question 25

ovaries

Answer 25

- there are two of them and they are small - located bilateral to the uterus - right next to the fimbrae of the uterine tube

Question 26

uterine tube

Answer 26

- these carry the egg to the uterus - have the fimbrae - two of them bilateral to the uterus

Question 27

uterus

Answer 27

a muscle that sits clamped in the body - thick and muscular - superior to the cervix - sits superior to the bladder at an angle

Question 28

vagina

Answer 28

this is located infererior to the uterus and is right after the cervix portion - it has the tube structure coming off of it - the external vaginal opening is located more posterior

Question 29

labia majora

Answer 29

the outter flabs of the labia surrounding the female external genetalia -these can grow hair on them

Question 30

labia minora

Answer 30

- just inside the labia majora are these flaps/regions | - these cannot grow hair

Question 31

clitoris

Answer 31

this sits most anteriorly of the outside genetalia | -is covered by the prepuse (this is a hood over it and is similar to the foreskin of the male)

Question 32

spermatic cord

Answer 32

- connects the testicles to the abdomen | - contains the ductus (vas) deferens, as well as the testicular artery and pampiniform plexus of veins

Question 33

testicular artery and pampiniform plexus of veins

Answer 33

these are contained within the spermatic cord

Question 34

testes

Answer 34

oval-shaped organs located in the scrotum, just behind the penis and right in front of the anus on male humans

Question 35

Epididymis

Answer 35

tightly-coiled tube connecting rear of the testicles to the ductus deferns -sits kinda on top of the testis

Question 36

Ductus deferens

Answer 36

contained within the spermatic cord - carries sperm from the epididymis in the testes to the ejaculatory duct - turns into the ampula - they enter the body and go up over the bladder and thats where they enter

Question 37

ampula

Answer 37

this is when the ductus deferins get larger | -this is near the bladder and before they merge into the ejaculatory duct

Question 38

prostate gland

Answer 38

this is inferior to the bladder | -the urethra runs through it

Question 39

penis

Answer 39

the erectile organ

Question 40

glans

Answer 40

this is the tip of the penis on the head of it

Question 41

External urethral orifice

Answer 41

this is located at the tip of the penis, it is the opening

Question 42

Corpus cavernosum

Answer 42

- this is erectile tisse - there are two of these that are on the sides of the superior part of the penis - this is the lighter tissue

Question 43

Corpus spongiosum

Answer 43

- this is the tissue on the inferior side of the penis - the spongy urethra runs through it - this is the darker tissue
