[2] The middle part of the ureter is supplied by the common iliac arteries, direct branches from the abdominal aorta, and gonadal arteries; [1] the gonadal arteries being the testicular artery in ...

Structures opening in the vulval vestibule are the urethra (urinary meatus), vagina, Bartholin's glands, and Skene's glands. [1]The external urethral orifice is placed about 25–30 millimetres (1–1.2 in) [2] behind the clitoris and immediately in front of that of the vagina; it usually assumes the form of a short, sagittal cleft with slightly raised margins.
Relation of arteries and veins to ureters, view from the back of a male (the ovarian veins substitute for the internal spermatic veins in females [1]) Ovarian vein syndrome is a rare (possibly not uncommon, certainly under-diagnosed) condition in which dilation of the ovarian vein compresses the ureter (the tube that brings the urine from the ...
Progesterone causes many changes to the genitourinary system. A pregnant woman may experience an increase in the size of the kidneys and ureter due to the increase blood volume and vasculature.
