Abstract

The general morphology and direction of blood-flow in the renal portal complex, as well as the histochemistry, innervation and pharmacology of the renal portal valves were studied. The origin of the copious mucus present in the cloacal fluid was found to be in the collecting tubules and branches of the ureters.
