The Kidneys The radiographs on the right show canine kidneys injected with contrast. What is A? Calyx Renal Pelvis What is B? Renal Crest Renal Lobe What are C? Collecting ducts Renal Arteries A B C C

 Incorrect  No, this is not a Calyx! The dog has a uni-lobar kidney, it does not have distinct calyces. Calyces are most easily seen in Bovine kidneys: Try Again!

 Incorrect  No, this is not a Renal Lobe! The dog has a uni-lobar kidney, it does not have distinct Lobes. Try Again!

 Incorrect  No, these are not the Collecting Ducts! The collecting ducts are soft tissue structures and are too small to be seen on radiographs. Try Again!

Correct! Well done! This is the Renal Pelvis. It is where the collecting ducts gather to form the ureter. Here is another example: Now try part B

Correct! Well done! This is the Renal Crest. It is the Medulla at the point where it joins the renal pelvis. Here is another example: Now try part C

Correct! Well done! These are the Renal Arteries. They supply the kidney with blood to be filtered. Here are some other examples: Now try Bladder & Urethra radiographsBladder & Urethra

 Incorrect  No! This is not the Small Intestine. There is no contrast in the digestive tract, and the small intestines are located more ventrally: Try Again!

Correct! Yes! This is a Uterine horn. Although they look close to the ureters on lateral x-rays, dorso-ventral views show that they lie more laterally: Return to Start End Quiz
