BPK 325 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Vas Deferens, Superficial Inguinal Ring, Deep Inguinal Ring
Document Summary
Several minor calyces then join to form a major calyx, which in turn joins with other major calices to form a funnel- shaped tube, the renal pelvis. The renal pelvis is the expanded upper end of the ureter and may be considered as an enlargement of the ureter for collecion and drainage of the urine from all the medullary pyramids of the renal medulla. The renal pelvis, calices, and renal vessels are contained in the renal sinus. The tesis contains seminiferous tubules, where sperms are produced. It leaves the scrotum and enters the supericial inguinal ring, travels along the inguinal canal, and passes through the deep inguinal ring into the pelvic cavity. Inside the pelvis, each vas deferens coninues over the upper lateral margin of the urinary bladder and then proceeds down the posterior surface of the bladder to its inferior porion. It is situated inferior to the urinary bladder, anterior to the rectum.
