Question

Describe in details the association of urinary and genital systems and their functions

Answer 1

Urogenital system, also known as genitourinary system

in vertebrates, the organs worried with repproduction and urinary excretion. Although their features are unrelated, the structures concerned in excretion and reproduction are morphologically associated and frequently use commonducts. The principal systems of the urinary sytem in humans are the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The predominant structures of the reproductive system in males are the testes, sperm ducts, urethra, and p-enis; in females, they're the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and v-agina

MALE UROGENTIAL SYSTEM

Structure	Function
Testis	Production of sperm and testosterone, a sex hormone
Epididymis	Site of sperm storage
Ductus deferens	Transport sperm to the urethra
Spermatic cord	Surrounded by the tunic vaginalis the sperm cord contains the nerves,blood vessels and ductus deferens
Ampullary gland	Small gland at the end of ductus deferens that contributes to seminalfluid
Urethra	Carry sperm and urine to the outside of the body
p-enis	Male copulatory organ
Cremasteric pouch	Extension of the body wall and muscles to form a space housing thetestes
(a) Vesicular and (b) Coagulating glands	Secretions from these glands coagulate in the v-agina creating a v-aginalplug that blocks the pathway for sperm from subsequent copulations
Prostate	Produces seminal fluid to carry the sperm and neutralize the acidic v-agina

FEMALE UROGENITAL SYSTEM

structure	function
Ovary within ovarian bursa	Produces eggs and hormones to regulate estrus and pregnancy
Ovarian bursa	Surrounds the ovary and receives the egg after ovulation
Uterine tube	Connects the ovarian bursa to the uterine horn. Site of fertilization
Uterine horn	Site of implantation
Body of uterus	A muscular layer enclosing the posterior ends of the uterine horns
V-agina	Receives sperm during mating and provides pathway to the outside
Broad ligament	Along the length of the uterine horn to provide support
Round ligament	Perpendicular to the broad ligament, supports the uterine horns
Glands of the c-litoris	Produce an odoriferous secretion
Ureter	Transport urine to the bladder
Bladder	Store urine
Urethra	Transport urine to the outside

External urethral orifice withventral c-litoris

Terminal opening of the urinary system, mass of erectile tissue ventral to the urethral opening
