BIOL 129 // LAB EXAM 4
1. urogenital system (kidneys + male/female reproductive systems)
a. kidney
i. renal capsule
ii. renal cortex
iii. renal column
iv. renal medulla
v. renal pyramid
vi. renal calyx
vii. renal pelvis
viii. ureter
b. male reproductive system
i. scrotum → inside of the scrotum connects to the abdominal cavity via the
inguinal canal. inguinal hernia is when the intestines push through the
muscle layer and enter the scrotum
ii. testis
iii. epididymis
iv. vas deferens
v. seminal vesicle
vi. urethra
vii. bulbourethral gland
viii. prostate gland
ix. penis
x. glans
xi. bladder
xii. ureter → whole body model
xiii. kidney → whole body model
xiv. spermatic cord → consists of 3 parts
1. ductus deferens
2. testicular artery
3. testicular vein
c. female reproductive system
i. ovary
ii. uterine tube/oviduct/fallopian tube
1. infundibulum → “hand” over the ovary
2. fimbriae → “fingers” over the ovary
iii. uterus → 3 parts, fundus (top), body (mid), and cervix (bottom)
1. myometrium → thick layer of smooth muscle, generates more
force per cell than any muscle in the body
2. endometrium → lines the uterus
iv. vagina/vaginal canal → external opening is called the vaginal orifice.
inside is lined with vaginal rugae (muscular ridges)
v. mesenteries
1. ovarian ligament
2. suspensory ligament
3. broad ligament → 3 parts
a. mesosalpinx → wraps around the fallopian tube
b. mesovarium → wraps around the ovary
c. mesometrium → supports the uterus, “everything else”
vi. bladder
vii. ureter (full body model)
viii. kidney (full body model)
ix. vestibule → gland beneath the skin, called the vestibular gland, secretes
a fluid that lubricates the vestibule for intercourse
x. labia majora
xi. labia minora
xii. clitoris → similar to corpus cavernosum in the penis
2. nervous system
a. brain
i. meninges → P.A.D. the brain
1. dura mater → outside, tough and thick
2. arachnoid mater → produces CSF. space between dura + pia is
called the subarachnoid space
3. pia mater → thin + delicate, adheres closely to gyri, sulci, and
other structures
ii. telencephalon
