Identifying the Urinary System in Pig Dissection

The video tutorial provides a detailed exploration of the urinary system, focusing on the kidney's anatomy and its surrounding structures. It begins with moving digestive organs to access the kidney, explaining its retroperitoneal position. The instructor demonstrates how to carefully isolate the kidney, highlighting the importance of not damaging the delicate ureter. The tutorial also covers the renal capsule and identifies key blood vessels, such as the renal vein and artery. Finally, it traces the urinary pathway from the kidney to the urethra, emphasizing the external structures of the urinary system.
