Peritoneal invaginations (urinaiy tubules), which communicate with the body cavity by funnel- shaped openings, come into connection with the primitive kidney-duct (archinephric duct) which is the first part of the system to appear (compare vol. i., p. 76, fig. 71). The ducts of the kidneys—the ureters.
