5. The Bladder.

The following diagram shows the bladder and its muscular coats, and also its neck imbedded in the prostate gland. The bladder is seen distended, and, of course, as detached from the body. The kidneys are also seen—one in its natural state, the other divided to show its inner structure: the kidneys and their ureters are crossed to save space in the sketch.

1. The entire kidney. 2. Its cortical, or secreting part. 3. The papilla. 4. The pelvis. 5. The ureter. 6. The bladder. 7. The detrusor muscle. 8. The sphincter muscle. 9. Prostate gland. 10. Neck of the bladder.
