Study Notes
Urinary System
- The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs.
Kidney Location
- The right kidney is located cranially to the right of the midline, near the diaphragm.
- The left kidney is located caudally to the left of the midline, near the adrenal gland.
Renal Sinus Function
- The renal sinus is a fatty, connective tissue that surrounds the renal pelvis and calyces, and contains blood vessels and nerves.
Renal Crest
- In dogs, the renal crest is a transverse ridge on the ventral surface of the kidney.
- In cats, the renal crest is absent.
Feline Kidneys
- Feline kidneys have a more lobulated appearance compared to dogs.
Trigone Vesicae Function
- The trigone vesicae is a smooth muscle layer in the bladder that aids in the accumulation of urine.
Ligaments
- The falciform ligament of the liver is associated with the round ligament of the liver in adults.
- The lateral ligament of the urinary bladder is associated with the lateral cystourethral ligament in adults.
Prostate Gland Function
- The prostate gland in male dogs produces seminal fluid and aids in urination.
Veterinary Anatomy I: CVM 710 Learning Objective
- One of the learning objectives is to identify and describe the organs of the urinary system.
Solid and Hollow Organs
- Solid organs include the kidneys, liver, and prostate gland.
- Hollow organs include the bladder and urethra.
Urinary System Organs
- The major organs of the urinary system are the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Kidney Function
- The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which filters blood and produces urine.
Renal Pelvis Function
- The renal pelvis collects urine from the calyces and funnels it into the ureter.
Kidney Location in Body
- The right and left kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space, near the spine.
Ureter-Bladder Relationship
- The ureters empty urine into the bladder.
Bladder Function
- The bladder is a hollow, muscular organ that stores urine.
Urethra Function
- The urethra is a muscular tube that carries urine from the bladder to the external urethral orifice for excretion.
