The kidney and Ureters in Situ

The kidneys rest against the body wall in the lower thoracic and upper lumbar region of the vertebral column (A). Note that the ureter passes deep to the gonadal vessels en route to the bladder. Through compact, efficient, and pyramidal nephron communities (B), they rapidly filter the blood supply provided by and drained into the large renal vessels.

Kidney Development

The kidneys mature as an aggregate of collecting tubules (Aâ€“C). Longitudinal section of an adult kidney (D) demonstrates the confluence of drainage channels from the periphery to the ureter. The kidneys ascend (E) along the back of the abdominal wall until they come to rest just below the diaphragm (and below the liver on the right side). This means that the ureter must snake its way down the back of the abdominal wall and over the pelvic brim before it can port into the back of the bladder.

Fetal and adult female external genitalia.

In females, the little-modified phallus houses the erectile tissues of the clitoris. The urogenital folds on either side of the orifice (A) remain a small flap of tissue (labium minus) that closes passively over the urethral and vaginal openings (collectively called a vestibule) (B).
