Fetal Pig Urogentital System Terms
Horizontales
Large cavity that receives urine from major calyces; continuous with the ureter.
Series of tubes that carry sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
Basic functional unit of the kidney composed of the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule; microscopic tubular structure that filters waste from blood to form urine and balances water and mineral levels in the body.
One of a pair of coiled tubes that carry ova from the ovary to the uterine horn.
Either of the pair of excretory organs within which metabolic wastes are removed and water and certain ions are resorbed from the blood; forms urine.
The sac that holds the testes and epididymides outside the male body.
One of two main parts of the nephron; consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. Resorption and secretion occur here.
Portion of the nephron located between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules that functions in reabsorption of water and ions.
One of two small, round glands that produce pre-ejaculate or Cowpers fluid in the male.
Cavity in female mammals into which urine from the urethra empties and then is discharged through the urogenital orifice.
A female gametocyte formed by a Graafian follicle; undergoes meiosis to form an ovum, or egg cell.
The central portion of the kidney containing the renal pyramids that empty wastes into the renal pelvis and ureter.
One of the pair of male sex organs that produces sperm; forms within the abdomen and later descends into the scrotum.
Egg cell; female sex cell.
Outer region of the kidney; includes the renal columns.
One of two main parts of the nephron; includes the glomerulus enclosed within the Bowmans capsule; site of blood filtration.

External male reproductive organ through which semen and urine are discharged from the body.

One of a pair of tubes connecting the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
In pigs, contains two large uterine horns and a small uterine body. Development of fetuses occurs here.
Network of capillaries in the nephron that begin the process of filtering blood. The walls of these capillaries are porous to allow for initial filtration. The pores are large enough to allow fluid and solutes to pass through, but are not large enough for blood cells to be mistakenly filtered out.
Primary female sex hormone responsible for secondary female sex characteristics and regulating the menstrual cycle.
Long, coiled tube that connects the testis to the vas deferens.
Tissue between the renal pyramids that is a part of the renal cortex in the kidney.
Tube that travels from the urinary bladder to the external orifice of the body; urine is excreted from the body through here.
Muscular organ that stores urine that will later be excreted from the body.
Layer of connective tissue outside of the renal capsule that attaches the kidney to the dorsal abdominal wall.
Male sex cell.
