________prostatic urethra
________urethral openings
________external urethral sphincter
________membranous urethra
________detrusor muscle
________external urethral orifice
________penile urethra

________major calyx
________renal pelvis
________minor calyx
________renal pyramid
________renal artery
________renal sinus
________renal cortex
________renal vein
________renal medulla
