Morphology
apparatus + urogenitalis
The meaning is compositionally built from 'apparatus' (an organ/system) plus 'urogenitalis' (uro- = urine; genitalis = reproductive), so in principle it denotes the urinary + reproductive organ system. However 'urogenitalis' is a technical Latin/medical form not known to an average B1 learner, so the connection is only partially accessible without specialist knowledge or exposure—many learners would need prior familiarity with medical/Latin morphemes despite cross-linguistic cognates.
Etymology
Apparatus urogenitalis comes from Latin words. Apparatus means 'equipment' or 'set of parts', and urogenitalis joins uro- for 'urine' and genital for 'reproduction'. So the phrase pictures the body's 'equipment' for making urine and for reproduction, which is why it names the organs that do both jobs.
