= //Physiology of the Organs/Structures covered in this Tutorial:// =
 * === **Organ/Structure** === || === **Function** === ||
 * **Penis** || Transports urine and semen through the urethra to the outside of the body ||
 * **Scrotum** || Large sac of skin and muscle; protects and aids in temperature regulation of the testes ||
 * **Testes** || Produces sperm cells and testosterone ||
 * **Spermatic Cord** || Delivers semen from the testes to the urethra ||
 * **Prostate Gland** || Small gland located on either side of the urethra; stores and secretes seminal fluid ||
 * **Epididymis** || Tightly-coiled tube which connect vas deferens ||
 * **Kidneys** || Removes waste from the blood, combines it with excess water and electrolytes to form urine ||
 * -//Cortex// || Surrounds the medulla and dips into it between renal pyramids to form renal columns ||
 * -//Medulla// || The inner portion of the kidney, composed of renal pyramids ||
 * //-R////enal Pyramid//s || The individual unit of the renal medulla that begins to collect urine ||
 * //-Pelvis// || Sends urine to the ureter ||
 * **Renal Vein** || Pumps filtered blood out of the kidney ||
 * **Nephrons** || The functional units of the kidneys; consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule ||
 * **Urinary Bladder** || Receives urine from the ureters and stores it before it can be released from the body ||
 * **Ureters** || Tubule which transports urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder ||
 * **Urethra** || Transports urine and semen outside the body ||

**Photos of Our Dissection:**

 * [[image:shs-anatomy-cat:p6t4c_copy.jpg width="356" height="269"]] || **Improvements:**
 * Hard to see structures (//vas deferens should have been dissected out more//)
 * Scrotum/Penis difficult to identify because dissection was not completed ||
 * [[image:shs-anatomy:p3t1e.jpg width="286" height="396" align="center"]] || [[image:shs-anatomy-cat:p6t4d_copy.jpg width="291" height="382"]] ||
 * [[image:shs-anatomy:P5T6C.JPG width="369" height="297" align="left" caption="Detail of Pelvis"]] || **Improvements:**
 * Parts of photo are out of focus
 * Labeling on the organ can be a good idea, but only if the font color is appropriate (//spermatic cord//) ||
 * [[image:shs-anatomy:P5T6B.JPG width="378" height="291" align="left" caption="Detail of Lower Trunk"]] || ======**Improvements:**======
 * Arrows are distracting in shape & color
 * Clean up surrounding area (//remove extraneous tissue//) ||
 * [[image:shs-anatomy:ureter_copy.jpg]] || **Improvements:**
 * Try not to get gloves in photo
 * Try to keep background consistent (all blue, not edge of tray)
 * Other organs (not part of your system) can be identified in order to aid in placement (//example-rectum//) ||
 * [[image:shs-anatomy:p3t1d.jpg width="397" height="298"]] || **Improvements:**
 * Identification errors (//do you think the descending aorta would be blue?//)
 * Font is a bit small
 * Arrows change direction/crudely drawn ||
 * [[image:shs-anatomy:ureter.jpg width="380" height="383" align="left"]] || **Improvements:**
 * More should have been dissected out
 * Identification error (ureter pink?) ||
 * [[image:shs-anatomy:bladder_and_urethra.jpg width="375" height="281" align="left"]] || **Improvements:**
 * White arrows/brackets are lost in the background
 * Remove extraneous adipose tissue ||
 * [[image:shs-anatomy:p4t2g.jpg width="371" height="292"]] || **Improvements:**
 * Arrows/brackets too thin
 * White/larger sized font looks better than black text
 * Flash distracts from photo
 * Identification error (//look at medulla//, //it is too close to renal pelvis)// ||
