Introduce the ureters and mention the structures it crosses to reach the bladder
The ureters are located between the abdominal cavity and the pelvis. They ureters exit the kidneys and travel caudad to enter the bladder. They transport urine.
Renal Pelvis
Ureters
- Passing down psoas

The liver
is located in the abdominal cavity in the Left upper quadrant under the rib cage. The liver function is to filtrate blood coming from the digestive tract, detoxify chemicals, metabolize drugs, secrete bile. the liver is divided into the diaphragmatic and visceral surfaces, and its made out four lobes.
Slide - Hepatic lobule
The liver is made out of lobules which are The functional unit of the liver. The structure is hexagonal in shape made out of
- P= portal tract
- F= fibrous septum (mostly clear in pigs)

Lobule can also be divided into ancinus which is a functional unit. Kernel shaped with portal tracts as the centre and the V at the sides. divided into 3 zones (1 being closest to P with more O2)
Function:
- carry blood away from portal tract to vein via sinusoids
- carry bile from central area into portal via canulas
