==Cloaca==

The cloaca is divided into three parts. Cranial to caudal they are coprodeum, urodeum and proctodeum.  The coprodeum collects faeces from the colon. The urodeum, which is the midsection of the cloaca, collects urinary waste and products of reproduction. The urogenital papilla is situated dorsally behind a small fold. The proctodeum is the reservoir for faecal and urinary waste before excretion and contains the openings of the cloacal scent glands.
