A general anatomical illustrative image and graphical data for the urinary system (kidneys and ureters, and urinary bladder). A: This section indicates the opened view of the abdominal cavity; hence, it contains the cut kidneys (Rk and Lk for Right and Left Kidney respectively), ureters (U), and possibly the renal vessels. The numbers appear to be reference points or labels for the structures. B: A closer isolate picture of kidneys and ureters showing their comparative position and size. The ureters (U) are seen more clearly, extended from the renal hila. Urinary bladder (Ub) C: Cross-section through a kidney showing its layers or regions. ‘C’ (cortex), ‘M’ (medulla), ‘Rp’ (renal pelvis), and others indicate special anatomical structures within the kidney. Diagrams revealed the different parameter measurements for the left and right kidneys and ureters.
Light microscopy images of kidney and ureter tissues stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Masson’s trichrome, and periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) were displayed in the figure. The images were arranged in the grid. The higher magnification (1000x) view of the kidney cortex shows glomeruli, proximal tubules, and distal tubules, whereas the lower magnification (100x) view shows the ureter and urinary bladder.
