Scenario/Summary
History:

bathroom and it is exhausting him!

diagnosis

Deliverables
Answer the following questions based on the scenario and article above and
save your responses in a Microsoft Word document. Provide a scholarly
resource in APA format to support your answers.
1.Trace the flow of urine from the collecting duct to the urethral meatus.
Urine travels from the collecting ducts to the renal pelvis, a wider region
of the kidney, before exiting through the ureter. Urine travels from the
kidneys to the urinary bladder via the ureters. During urination, or
micturition, the body releases pee through the urethra when the urinary
bladder is full.
2.Based on your knowledge of the male urinary tract, what normal
organ is most likely obstructing the urinary outflow?
From my knowledge I believe that the prostate gland is most likely
obstructing the urinary flow.
