1. Expose the kidney (p. 255, and Fig. 108) by removal of the
peritoneum and the surrounding fat, taking care not to open the capsule
of the kidney. In removing the fat from the cranial end do not injure
the suprarenal body (p. 257), which should be studied.
2. Open the capsule of the kidney and slice away its ventral wall to
expose the sinus. After dissecting the contents of the sinus open the
pelvis and study the papilla. Pass a bristle from the pelvis into the
ureter.
3. Make a median section of the kidney parallel to its ventral surface
and study structure (Fig. 109).
4. Trace the ureter to the bladder, being careful not to injure the vas
deferens. Study the bladder and its ligaments, structure of its wall,
etc. Pass a bristle through the ureter into it and then open it to see
the openings of the ureter. Trace the neck of the bladder to the pubis.
