Beginner Urology

The human body has a way of eliminating potentially harmful liquid waste. This waste forms urine in the bladder and we remove it from the body via the urinary tract. Organs such as the kidney, the bladder, ureters and urethra make up the urinary tract system of the body. Urology is concerned with the diseases associated with the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organ. Have you ever wondered how your body lets you know when to urinate? Understanding how the urinary tract system works is vital to living a healthy life. We will explore the concept of urology, the body parts that make up the genitourinary tract and the concepts of reproduction. In addition, we research the anatomy of the organs that make up the genitourinary tract and how they function to eliminate urine from the body.

The anatomy of an infant differs from that of an adult structurally in many ways. We will examine the anatomical difference of the urogenital structure in humans from the foetal stage to adulthood. When a human is conceived, the baby receives two chromosomes from both parents. The genetic code of the chromosome from the baby's father determines whether it is male or female. We will show you the determining factor located in the chromosome of the father of a baby that decides the biological sex of the baby. We then examine the urinary system's organs, how it differs in males and females and their unique role in ensuring liquid waste leaves the body. Any problem with one of these parts becomes a cause for concern. Discover the variety of issues that can affect the urinary tract system, the symptoms of genitourinary tract disorders and how to examine the urinary tract system. 

At times, the usual physical examination method becomes challenging and fails to provide answers to possible problems in the urinary tract. Thus we use alternative laboratory procedures such as macroscopic and microscopic techniques. We will examine the processes of performing these alternative methods and the necessary equipment. Study urinary tract imaging, ultrasonography and radiology. These are required to diagnose symptoms of disorders such as difficulty in initiating urine, urinary retention, haematuria and more. Lastly, this course covers sexual dysfunction in males and females, including its cause, treatment and solutions. Health problems in the urinary tract can happen to anyone. We designed this course for anyone who wants to know how the genitourinary tract works, its diseases and its treatment. No prior knowledge is required so register for this anatomy course today.
