A section through the caudal part of the ventral abdominal wall, middle of the testis and T-11 spinal ganglion.

Observe:
1. The junction of the thigh with the ventral abdominal wall.
2. Some of the components of the testis and remnants of the mesonephros.
3. The collecting tubules and renal corpuscles of the kidney.
4. The origin of the ureter from the renal pelvis.
5. The diaphragm separating the kidney from the costodiaphragmatic recess.
