"In this chapter, we will explore the anatomy and function of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. We also will cover diseases and procedures for the male genital system. Because urine must pass through the prostate when leaving the male body, there are significant diseases affecting the male reproductive system. We will discuss a few of these, as well."
