It lies across the left renal vein, to which it is at- tached; it is not in contact with the kidney, from which it may be separated by a distance of nearly two inches (ca. 4 cm.). URINARY ORGANS OF THE PIG The kidneys are smooth and bean-shaped; they are more flattened dorso- ventrally, more elongated, and smaller at the extremities than those of the dog. The length is about twice the width. They are usually almost symmetrically placed ventral to the transverse processes of the first four Imnbar vertebrae, but the left kidney is often a little further forward than the right one. The lateral border lies against the flank parallel ^ith the edge of the longissimus muscle. The posterior extremity is usually about midway between the last rib and the tuber coxae. The anterior extremity of the right kidney has no contact ?^?ith the liver. Variations in position are not rare, and involve the left kidney oftener than the right; the former has been found near the pelvic inlet. When a fifteenth rib is present the anterior end of the kidney is usually ventral to it. The right kidney is usually separated from the liver by an int«r\-al of an inch or more.
