That covers the full urology anatomy overview with illustrations. Here's a quick orientation to what was covered:
6 major regions covered:
  1. Kidneys - retroperitoneal position, gross structure (cortex/medulla/pyramids/calyces), vascular segmentation (5 end-arterial segments, line of Brodel), and the nephron unit
  2. Ureters - 3-segment radiologic classification, 3 physiological narrowings (stones get stuck here), key surgical relations (vas deferens in males, uterine artery in females), and the Weigert-Meyer rule for duplex systems
  3. Bladder - extraperitoneal position, trigone anatomy, detrusor layers, blood supply from the internal iliac artery
  4. Urethra - the 7-segment male urethra (with the rhabdosphincter at the membranous segment) and the 3-4 cm female urethra with Skene's glands
  5. Prostate - McNeal's zonal anatomy (peripheral zone = cancer, transition zone = BPH), neurovascular bundles at 5 & 7 o'clock
  6. Male reproductive tract - testis layers and cell types (Sertoli/Leydig), epididymis (caput/corpus/cauda), vas deferens, spermatic cord contents, and penile erectile bodies (Buck fascia, corpora cavernosa, corpus spongiosum)
Let me know if you'd like to go deeper on any specific region - for example the nephron microanatomy, pelvic floor, lymphatic drainage in more detail, or female pelvic anatomy.
