Title: Module 2 Introduction: (CU1 M2) Urinary System and Male Genital System
Course: SkillsCom CRS 210 14.0 > Section: Credit Unit 1 Module 2

Now that you have learned about coding for the digestive system, Module 2 will equip you with codes for another body system! You guess it right. This Module will be all about coding terms, diagnostic procedures, and surgical procedures for Urinary System and Male Genital System.

The American Academy of Professional Coders (2014) stated that:

In this chapter, we will explore the anatomy and function of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. We also will cover diseases and procedures for the male genital system. Because urine must pass through the prostate when leaving the male body, there are significant diseases affecting the male reproductive system. We will discuss a few of these, as well (p. 381).
