Fig.11 93W7125, Ureter (cs) , HE. As shown in this low-
power orientation micrograph, the wall of the ureter consists
of a mucosa (Muc), a muscularis (Mus), and an adventitia
(Adv). Note that the ureters are located behind the
peritoneum of the abdominal cavity in their course to the
bladder. Thus, a serosa (Ser) may be found covering a
portion of the circumference of the tube. Also, because of
contraction of the smooth muscle of the muscularis, the
luminal surface is characteristically folded, thus creating a
star-shaped lumen.
