Urogenital sinus

 

Urogenital sinus

The urogenital sinus (also known as the persistent cloaca) is a part of the human body while it is an embryo. It is the ventral part of the cloaca, formed after the cloaca separates from the rectum. It eventually becomes, among other things, the bladder.

A urogenital sinus anomaly is also a rare birth defect in women where the urethra and vagina both open into a common channel.
