renal pelvis in dogs

A funnel shaped proximal portion of the ureter that is formed by convergence of the major calices [MP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the renal pelvis is

A funnel shaped proximal portion of the ureter that is formed by convergence of the major calices [MP]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the renal pelvis is

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the urinary system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the renal pelvis connects to

The atlas records 20 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of kidney, organ and upper urinary tract.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the renal pelvis. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as kidney pelvis, pelvis of ureter, p. renallis and pyelum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
