Development of the urinary system

The development of the urinary system begins during prenatal development, and relates to the development of the urogenital system – both the organs of the urinary system and the sex organs of the reproductive system.

See Genitourinary system and Development of the urinary system

Diagnosis

Diagnosis (diagnoses) is the identification of the nature and cause of a certain phenomenon.

See Genitourinary system and Diagnosis

Disease

A disease is a particular abnormal condition that adversely affects the structure or function of all or part of an organism and is not immediately due to any external injury.

See Genitourinary system and Disease

Epispadias

An epispadias is a rare type of malformation in which the urethra ends, in males, in an opening on the upper aspect of the penis, and in females when the urethra develops too far anteriorly.

See Genitourinary system and Epispadias

Genitourinary tract injury

The genitourinary tract, or simply the urinary tract, consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra.

See Genitourinary system and Genitourinary tract injury

Gonad

A gonad, sex gland, or reproductive gland is a mixed gland that produces the gametes and sex hormones of an organism.

See Genitourinary system and Gonad

Hypospadias

Hypospadias is a common malformation in fetal development of the penis in which the urethra does not open from its usual location on the head of the penis.

See Genitourinary system and Hypospadias

Intermediate mesoderm or intermediate mesenchyme is a narrow section of the mesoderm (one of the three primary germ layers) located between the paraxial mesoderm and the lateral plate of the developing embryo.

See Genitourinary system and Intermediate mesoderm

Kidney

In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.

See Genitourinary system and Kidney

Kidney development

Kidney development, or nephrogenesis, describes the embryologic origins of the kidney, a major organ in the urinary system.

See Genitourinary system and Kidney development

Labial fusion

Labial fusion is a medical condition of the vulva where the labia minora become fused together.

See Genitourinary system and Labial fusion

Mesonephric duct

The mesonephric duct, also known as the Wolffian duct, archinephric duct, Leydig's duct or nephric duct, is a paired organ that develops in the early stages of embryonic development in humans and other mammals.

See Genitourinary system and Mesonephric duct

Mesonephros

The mesonephros (middle kidney) is one of three excretory organs that develop in vertebrates.

See Genitourinary system and Mesonephros

Neoplasm

A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue.

See Genitourinary system and Neoplasm

Nomina Anatomica

Nomina Anatomica (NA) was the international standard on human anatomic terminology from 1895 until it was replaced by Terminologia Anatomica in 1998.

See Genitourinary system and Nomina Anatomica

Organ (biology)

In a multicellular organism, an organ is a collection of tissues joined in a structural unit to serve a common function.

See Genitourinary system and Organ (biology)

Paramesonephric duct

The paramesonephric ducts (or Müllerian ducts) are paired ducts of the embryo in the reproductive system of humans and other mammals that run down the lateral sides of the genital ridge and terminate at the sinus tubercle in the primitive urogenital sinus.

See Genitourinary system and Paramesonephric duct

Pathogen

In biology, a pathogen (πάθος, "suffering", "passion" and -γενής, "producer of"), in the oldest and broadest sense, is any organism or agent that can produce disease.

See Genitourinary system and Pathogen

Pathology

Pathology is the study of disease and injury.

See Genitourinary system and Pathology

Penis

A penis (penises or penes) is a male sex organ that is used to inseminate female or hermaphrodite animals during copulation.

See Genitourinary system and Penis

Placentalia

Placental mammals (infraclass Placentalia) are one of the three extant subdivisions of the class Mammalia, the other two being Monotremata and Marsupialia.

See Genitourinary system and Placentalia

Pronephros

Pronephros is the most basic of the three excretory organs that develop in vertebrates, corresponding to the first stage of kidney development.

See Genitourinary system and Pronephros

Renal pathology

Renal pathology is a subspecialty of anatomic pathology that deals with the diagnosis and characterization of medical diseases (non-tumor) of the kidneys.

See Genitourinary system and Renal pathology

Reproductive system

The reproductive system of an organism, also known as the genital system, is the biological system made up of all the anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction.

See Genitourinary system and Reproductive system

Sex organ

A sex organ, also known as a reproductive organ, is a part of an organism that is involved in sexual reproduction.

See Genitourinary system and Sex organ

Splanchnic

Splanchnic is usually used to describe organs in the abdominal cavity.

See Genitourinary system and Splanchnic

Surgical pathology

Surgical pathology is the most significant and time-consuming area of practice for most anatomical pathologists.

See Genitourinary system and Surgical pathology

Terminologia Anatomica

Terminologia Anatomica (commonly abbreviated TA) is the international standard for human anatomical terminology.

See Genitourinary system and Terminologia Anatomica

Urethra

The urethra (urethras or urethrae) is the tube that connects the mammalian urinary bladder to the urinary meatus.

See Genitourinary system and Urethra

Urinary system

The human urinary system, also known as the urinary tract or renal system, consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra.

See Genitourinary system and Urinary system

Urology

Urology (from Greek οὖρον ouron "urine" and -λογία -logia "study of"), also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the urinary system and the reproductive organs.

See Genitourinary system and Urology

Varicocele

A varicocele is, in a man, an abnormal enlargement of the pampiniform venous plexus in the scrotum; in a woman, it is an abnormal painful swelling to the embryologically identical pampiniform venous plexus; it is more commonly called pelvic compression syndrome.

See Genitourinary system and Varicocele

Vulva

In mammals, the vulva (vulvas or vulvae) consists of the external female genitalia.

See Genitourinary system and Vulva
