The geni- tal organs serve for the formation, develop- ment, and expulsion of the products of the reproductive glands. In the higher verte- lirates the two apparatus are independent except at the terminal part, which consti- tutes a urogenital tract, and includes the vulva in the female and the greater part of the urethra in the male. THE URINARY ORGANS The urinary organs (Organa uropoiet- ica) are the kidneys, ureters, blackler, and urethra. The kidneys are the glands which secrete the urine; they are retl-lirown in color, and are situateil against the tlorsal wall of the abdomen, being in most ani- mals almost symmetrically placed on either side of the spine. The ureters are tubes which convey the urine to the urinary bladder. The latter is an ovoid or piri- fcinn sac, which is situated on the pelvic floor wiien empty or nearly so; it is a reser- voir for the urine. The lu'ine accumulates in the bladder anil is tlien expelled through the urethra.
