Ureter, Bladder and Urethra

The video tutorial by Doctor Morton covers the anatomy, function, topography, and innervation of the ureters, bladder, and urethra. It explains how the ureter transports urine from the kidney to the bladder, its retroperitoneal position, and common constriction points where kidney stones may occur. The innervation of the ureter and the concept of referred pain are discussed. The bladder's role in urine storage, its topography in males and females, and its innervation are detailed. Finally, the urethra's anatomy and function in both genders are explained, highlighting differences in length and function.
