The anatomist's vade mecum : a system of human anatomy . of a goose-quill, and nearly eighteen inches in length; it is continuous superiorlywith the pelvis of the kidney, and is constricted inferiorly, where itlies in an oblique direction between the muscular and mucous coats of• the base of the bladder, and opens upon its mucous surface. Lyingalong the posterior wall of the abdomen, it is situated behind theperitoneima, and is crossed by the spermatic vessels; in its course downwards it rests against the an-terior surface of the psoas, andcrosses the common Oiac artery andvein, and then the external Uiacvessels. Within the pelvis it crossesthe hypogastric cord and vas de-ferens in the male, and runs bythe side of the cervix uteri andupper part of the vagina in thefemale. There are sometimes twoureters to one kidney. The ureter,the pelvis, the infundibula, and thecalices are composed of two coats,an external or fibro-ceUular coat,the tunica propria; and an internalmucous coat, which is continuouswith the mucous membrane of the Fig. 195.*. * Plan of the renal circulation; copied from Mr. Bowmans paper, a.
