kidneys
bean shaped organs
filter blood, removing metabolic waste products while conserving water, salts and glucose
maintain blood ph
filter from 290 to 528 gallons of blood each day, but only .4 gallons of urine is produced
other 99.9% is flowed down to the ureter
ureter
takes urine to the urinary bladder for storage

excretory system
eliminated the metabolic wastes that are generated in the body and helps maintain a constant internal environment of water and other chemicals
genital papilla
finger-like projection on the lower surface of the abdominal cavity close to the urogenital opening
oviducts
fertilization occurs here
the embryo implants in the upper part of the uterus in pigs called the uterine horns
vagina
the vagina, which receives sperm from the penis joins with the urethra, and the 2 open into a common chamber called the urogenital sinus which opens to the outside of the body called the urogenital opening
