Q

bovine kidney

A

In structure the bovine kidneys are of the multipyramidal type, The separate
medullary pyramids are capped by a continuous cortex, which appears fragmented by fissures
extending inward from its surface. The cortex (Fig. 28.27/4) is clothed in a tough capsule that is easily stripped from the healthy organ, except toward the hilus, where it blends with the wall of the ureter. The cortical and medullary regions are distinguishable in gross sections by the much
lighter color of the former and by the cut vessels that mark their mutual boundary. The glomerular
vascular tufts scattered through the cortex may be visible to the naked eye. The apex (papilla; Fig.
28.27/3) of each medullary pyramid fits into a calyx or cup formed by one of the terminal branches
of the ureter; these branches eventually unite to form two major channels that converge from the
cranial and caudal poles to yield a single ureter (see Fig. 5.23). There is thus no large central
expansion corresponding to a renal pelvis.
