Objectives of the Course

The urinary system is the system formed by organs and structures that ensure the removal of waste materials from the body with a liquid called urine. It consists of the kidneys, ureter, bladder and urethra structures, which provide the formation and sending of urine from the body. Knowing the anatomical features of all these structures, learning their morphology and examining these structures on cadavers and models will form the basis of this course. In addition, learning of topographic locations and their relations with clinical anatomy will be provided.

Course Content

General topographic locations of urinary system organs, external facial features of kidneys Neighborhood and side differences of kidneys, cross-sectional anatomy Calyx system, pelvis renalis and ureter Vessels and innervation of the kidneys and ureter Clinical manifestations of kidneys and collecting system, external facial features and neighborhoods of vesica urinaria Relationship between vesica urinaria and anterior abdominal wall, pre- and post vesical gaps, urethra masculina and urethra feminina
