Summary Introduction
To enlist:
The type of normal biota present in the genitourinary tract of both genders.
Concept introduction
The genitourinary tract involves two different organ systems: the urinary system, and the genital system. The urinary system organs include paired kidney, a pair of ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. The main function of the kidney is to remove the waste product from the blood and helps in the regulation of blood pressure, volume, and ion level. The main function of the genital system is a reproduction. Thus, the genital system is also called the reproductive system.

These nodules are an example of the intimate and specialized partnerships that have been established over time between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Coevolution maintains these types of relationships because both participants benefit. Plants receive biologically useful forms of nitrogen needed for growth, and the bacteria reside in an oxygen-free environment required by enzymes involved in the nitrogen-fixing process. Humans also maintain intimate associations with beneficial bacteria and even archaea. In fact, the prokaryotic cells in and on human bodies outnumber the eukaryotic human cells by tenfold, according to some estimates. These microbial inhabitants help humans digest food, provide essential vitamins absorbed by the intestines, and even impact the immune system. The microbes that coevolve with plants arrive by infection of root tissue. The microbiota that coevolve with humans…arrow_forward
