    Study Notes

    Urogenital System - BMS 101

    • Students should be able to describe parts and functions of the urinary system, components of the male genital system, and components of the female genital system by the end of the lecture.

    Urinary System

    • Composed of kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra.
    • The kidney is bean-shaped and located in the upper posterior abdominal wall.
      • It has anterior and posterior surfaces, lateral and medial borders, and upper and lower poles.
    • The hilum of the kidney is a part of the medial border containing the renal vein, renal artery, and the pelvis of the ureter.
    • The ureter is a 25 cm muscular tube.
      • It transports urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder.
      • It has abdominal and pelvic parts.
    • The urinary bladder is located within the pelvis.
      • It receives the ureters and stores urine.
      • Urine exits through the urethra.
    • The urethra carries urine outside the body.
      • The female urethra is short and wide (4 cm long).
      • The male urethra is longer (20 cm long) and has 3 parts: prostatic, membranous, and penile/spongy.

    Male Genital System

    • Composed of testes, genital ducts, accessory sex glands, and penis.
    • Testes are the primary male sex organs, located within the scrotum.
      • They produce sperm formation and male sex hormones.
    • Genital ducts: epididymis, vas deferens, and urethra
      • Epididymis: stores and matures sperm, and secretes a nutritive substance for sperm.
      • Vas deferens: transports sperm to the urethra.
    • Accessory sex glands: seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands
      • Produce substances that nourish sperm.
    • Penis: carries urine and semen outside the body.

    Female Genital System

    • The female genital system consists of ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina
    • Ovaries are primary reproductive organs; located in the lateral wall of the pelvis.
      • Produce ova (egg cells) and female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone).
    • Uterine tubes (Fallopian tubes): 10 cm long
      • Receive the ovum, provide a passage for sperm, and fertilization occurs within them.
    • Uterus: hollow, pear-shaped muscular organ
      • Receives the fertilized ovum, provides nutrition, and is the site of the menstrual cycle.
    • Vagina: muscular tube
      • Passage for menstrual blood and childbirth.

    Nervous System - Endocrine Glands

    • The nervous system is divided into central and peripheral systems.
    • The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
    • The peripheral nervous system includes spinal nerves and cranial nerves (12 pairs)
    • The endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.

    Brain

    • The brain lies inside the skull.
      • The brain has three main parts: cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum.

    Cerebrum

    • Formed of two cerebral hemispheres
    • Each cerebral hemisphere is formed of 4 lobes, frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital.

    Brain Stem

    • Formed of three parts: midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata; Located beneath the brain
      • Involved in basic bodily functions.

    Cerebellum

    • Two cerebellar hemispheres separated by the vermis
      • Plays a role in motor control and balance.

    Spinal Cord

    • About 45cm long, located within the vertebral canal.
    • 31 segments; 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal.

    Spinal Nerves

    • 31 pairs in the peripheral nervous system
      • Formed of 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal nerves.

    Cranial Nerves

    • 12 pairs connected to the brain.

    Endocrine Glands

    • Ductless glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream. Examples include pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, suprarenal, and pancreas, and gonads.

    Digestive System

    • The digestive system comprises digestive tract and digestive glands. The tract includes mouth cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The glands include salivary glands, liver, and pancreas.

    Digestive Glands

    • Salivary Glands (pairs): Parotid, Sublingual, Submandibular. -Produce saliva to aid in food digestion
    • Liver: Largest organ in the body in the abdominal cavity’s upper right quadrant.
      • Produces bile (aids in fat digestion).
    • Pancreas: Located behind the stomach, part of the digestive tract.
      • Produces pancreatic juice containing enzymes for complete food digestion.
