    Study Notes

    Urinary System Organs

    • The kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra are the major organs of the urinary system.

    Solid and Hollow Organs

    • The kidneys are solid organs.
    • The bladder and ureters are hollow organs.

    Urinary Tract Components

    • The renal calyx is the first component of the urogenital tract encountered when tracing a drop of urine from the renal crest to the urethral meatus.
    • The ureters are located posterior and inferior to the bladder.

    Kidney Structure and Function

    • The renal sinus is a space within the kidney that contains the renal pelvis, calyces, and blood vessels.
    • The renal pyramids are structures within the kidneys that contain the nephrons.

    Kidney Location and Relationships

    • The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space, and the right kidney is lower than the left kidney due to the liver.

    Urethra and Bladder Function

    • The bladder is a reservoir for storing urine.
    • The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

    Other Anatomical Structures

    • The peritoneum is a membrane that lines the abdominal cavity, and the space between the parietal peritoneum and the visceral peritoneum is called the peritoneal cavity.
    • The falciform ligament is a ligament that connects the liver to the anterior abdominal wall.
    • The umbilical arteries become the medial umbilical ligaments in adults.
    • The prostate gland surrounds the part of the male urethra called the prostatic urethra.
    • The median ligament of the bladder is a fibrous ligament that connects the bladder to the anterior abdominal wall.
    • The trigone vesicae is a region in the urinary bladder that helps to prevent the backflow of urine into the ureters.
