Systema urogenitale
Systema Urogenitale is the collective term for the organs and structures that make up the urinary system and the reproductive system. These systems are often grouped together due to their close anatomical proximity and overlapping functions.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The systema urogenitale is divided into two main components: the urinary system and the reproductive system.
Urinary System[edit | edit source]
The urinary system is responsible for the production, storage, and elimination of urine. It consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter blood to remove waste products and excess substances, which are then excreted as urine. The ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder, where it is stored until it is expelled from the body through the urethra.
Reproductive System[edit | edit source]
The reproductive system is responsible for the production of gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) and the carrying out of reproduction. In males, the reproductive system includes the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and penis. In females, it includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva.
Physiology[edit | edit source]
The systema urogenitale plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. The urinary system helps regulate the volume and composition of body fluids, while the reproductive system is involved in the production of offspring.
Pathology[edit | edit source]
Diseases and disorders of the systema urogenitale can affect either the urinary system, the reproductive system, or both. These can include urinary tract infections, kidney stones, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, and infertility, among others.
