These anatomical structures are the following:
1. The urine itself which serves as an antiseptic, washing potentially harmful bacteria out from the body during normal urination
2. The ureters join into the bladder in a manner designed to prevent urine from backing up into the kidney when the bladder squeezes urine out through the urethra.
3. The prostate gland in men that secretes infection-fighting substance.
4. The immune system defenses and antibacterial substance in the mucous lining of the bladder eliminate many organisms.
5. The vagina of a healthy women, it is colonized by lactobacilli, a beneficial  microorganisms that maintain a highly acidic environment (low pH) that is hostile to other bacteria. It also produces hydrogen peroxide, which help eliminate bacteria and reduces the ability of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to adhere to vaginal cells that is the major bacterial culprit in urinary tract infection.

3 structural changes that must occur in young plants cell as they differentiate into xylem tissue
just olya [345]
Differentiation in plants refers to the processes by which distinct cell types arise from precursor cells and become different from each other. Plants have about a dozen basic cell types that are required for everyday functioning and survival. Additional cell types are required for sexual reproduction. While the basic diversity of plant cell types is low compared to animals, these cells are strikingly different. For example, some cells such as parenchyma cells retain the potential to respond to environmental and/or hormonal signals throughout their life and, under the right conditions, can be transformed into another cell type (transdifferentiation). Other cells such as the water-conducting vessel elements undergo cell death as part of their differentiation pathway and thus can never transdifferentiate to another cell type

The classification system developed by Linnaeus in the early 1700s divided living organisms into plant and animal kingdoms. Toda
dybincka [34]
One of the main reasons why there is a need to create additional three kingdoms was due to the invention of the microscope. The scientific device paved way for a more intensive study of the tiny organisms most considered as single-celled which cannot be seen by the naked eye.
