The calices and the ureter have the tame arrangement as in the Ox. (There are 10 or 12 papillae, and as many calices.) 2. Bladder.—The most important difference in the bladder of the domesticated animals, consists in the extent of development of its peritoneal envelope. In nonsoliped animals this covers all the organ to the neck; the ligaments are also very short, and the viscus may be easily projected into the abdominal cavity. The bladder is thin, and of considerable capacity in Ruminants and the Pig; in the Dog, on the contrary, it has a very thick muscular layer, its fibres forming distinct fasciculi, especially when in a state of retraction. (In Ruminants, the orifices of the ureters are near each other; at the fundus the mucous membrane shows a small fossa, which is continued by a narrow canal that terminates in a Fig. 345. Fig. 346.

The contents of the hilus, including the branches of the pelvis, have been removed to show the tubercles at the bottom of these calices.
