Question
Chapter 19, Problem 10LTB
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The parts of the excretory system in the diagram.
Introduction:
The urinary system is also termed as renal system. Itconsists of kidney, bladder, urethra and ureter. The main function of this system is to eliminate the waste from the body, regulate blood pressure and volume, control electrolytes level and maintain the pH level of the blood.

The renal pyramids are in the medulla. The cortex covers the capsule. Nephrons are in the renal cortex.arrow_forwardA urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of any of the urinary tract structures: kidneys, ureter, bladder, or urethra. Considering the differences in the male and female anatomy and that the bacteria that cause UTIs are often found in the feces, explain why females are more likely to contract a UTI. Females are more likely to contract a UTI because the opening of the urinary tract is located closer to the opening of the digestive tract, allowing fecal bacteria to get into the urinary tract more easily. Females are more likely to contract a UTI because their urinary tract organs are more compact and located more inferiorly in the pelvic cavity. Males get fewer UTIs because their urethra is longer and cleansed by secretions of the accessory reproductive glands. Males urinate more often standing up, so gravity helps prevent colonization of the urinary tract.arrow_forward
