Anatomical term
Anatomical structure of system
Objectives
• Name and locate the anatomical structures of
the urinary system, the female reproductive
system and the adrenal glands.
• Use medical terminology to describe
conditions and procedures related to these
organs and systems.
Urinary System
• The organs of the urinary system are the
kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.
• The urinary system removes soluble nitrogen
west from the bloodstream and excretes it as
urine.
• Identify the parts of the urinary system and
learn the roots that refer to them in medical
terms and the meaning of the terms.

Definition
Kidney
Nephr(o)-, ren(o)
Organs that process urine
Renal pelvis
Pyel(o)
Collecting basin for urine from the collecting
ducts of the kidney.
Ureters
Ureter(o)
A duct through which urine is carried from
the renal pelvis to the bladder.
Urinary
bladder
Cyst(o)
Expandable sac that stores urine before it’s
eliminated by urination.
Prostate
Prostat(o)
A gland in the male urinary tract.
Inflammation of the prostate gland commonly
causes obstruction of urine flow.
Urethra
Urethr(o)
The outlet for urine flow. Because the urethra
is much shorter in females, they are more
susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI).

Adrenal glands
• The adrenal glands, a part of the endocrine
system, secrete a group of hormones that
profoundly influence all body systems.
• The anatomical placement of the adrenal
glands are sometimes called the suprarenal
glands, and the term adrenal it’s component
parts Ad/renal – means toward the kidney.
Disorders, and procedures
• Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the kidneys
and renal pelvis. Associated with formation of
small abscess in the renal pelvis.
Treatment consists of antibiotics and surgical
correction of any obstruction to urine flow.
• Urine retention results from blockage of urine
flow from the bladder.
• Urinary incontinence is the inability to control
urine flow from the bladder.
Disorders, and procedures
CysTOScopy
Visual examination of the urinary bladder
UreTHRItis
Inflammation of the urethra
UreterItis
Inflammation of the ureter
PyeLItis
Inflammation of the renal pelvis or kidney
basin
UreTHROStomy
Forming a new opening in the urethra
UreterolithOTomy
Surgical incision into the ureter to remove a
calculus or stone.
CYSTocele
Herniation of the urinary bladder
UreterocysTOStomy Forming a new opening in the urinary bladder
and ureter
Female reproductive system
• The female reproductive system consists of
organs that produce ova and female sex cells
and provide for the growth of the embryo.
• Identify the major parts of the female
reproductive system and learn the roots used
to describe them.
