Talk:Ureter - Knowledge

142: 118: 202: 85: 21: 76: 792:. Visualising in a live person is very important and quite distinct from cadaveric specimens. Reference to the time point is both useful to get an idea of the scale of history, and also mirrors the construction of the first two sentences. I will add a statement about uteroscopy. I think this is a stylistic issue that should not block nomination per the six criteria which you review against ( 1627:"The duct that connects the kidney to excrete urine in these animals is the ureter" this seems to imply that all non-human amniotes lack a bladder (unless you're including a bladder where present on the path from the kidneys to the urethra/cloaca). Also, if it's not too much trouble, it might be good to specifically state that sharks and amphibians don't have ureters and use the 1554: 839: 781: 1606: 1507: 1478: 1437: 1343: 1302: 1261: 1220: 1179: 1138: 1097: 863: 694: 653: 352: 1388: 735: 1561:

ureters are a pretty straightforward structure, connecting kidneys to bladders, so it's difficult to find a reliable source that describes specifically which animals its in. Thirdly is that because it's such a straightforward structure I don't really have much to say about it in other animals. I'd value your opinion on this point.--

Here, "a lot of" means three. I've removed one - that citation is at the end of the sentence. I should be able to get to both others within a week or so; it is up to you to judge regarding comprehensiveness, however one paragraph that is shorter and will be expanded within the timeframe of the review

789:

The ureters have been identified for at least two thousand years; with the word ureter stemming from the stem uro- relating to urinating and seen in written records since at least the time of Hippocrates. It is however only since the 1500s that the term "ureter" has been consistently used to refer to

255:

Well, the article does describe the two helically arranged muscle layers. They are unnamed, being just the ureteric smooth muscle. They are not very remarkable either, except to those with a specialised interest (like me - they were the subject of my doctorate thesis!) and some urologists interested

267:

Why has someone posted a picture of a kidney on the ureter page? There used to be a anatomic drawing (?from Gray's) of a ureter in cross-section - that made more sense. This picture is like showing a map of Europe to illustrate Gibraltar. It's there, sure, but only in the corner and the only use of

1657:

Based on that source, although there are ducts which connect kidneys to excrete matter in other animals, because it is not derived from the metanephric duct, it is not called the ureter. With regard to other facts above, I feel that in the case less is more. I sometimes encounter situations in the

1583:

I don't have detailed knowledge on the ureters of the animal kingdom, but I know that among amniotes (birds, reptiles, and mammals), birds and some reptiles do not have bladders, and I'm not sure what that means for ureters. Since you should also be talking about fish and amphibians, I suggest you

1652:

The structure specifically called the ureter is present in amniotes, meaning mammals, birds and reptiles. These animals possess an adult kidney derived from the metanephros. The duct that connects the kidney to excrete urine in these animals is the ureter. It connects to the urinary bladder, from

1560:

I may need some help here. First is that I don't have enough familiarity with zoology to confidently reword amniotes to something more easy to understand, but ideally the lay terms would also be used. If you could insert what that means, I'd be very grateful. Secondly is that the fact is that the

I will respond to your concerns below. I'm very appreciative of the time you are giving me to respond and thoroughness. However, could I please ask you for either a full review, or an indication of where your review is at and expects to be at time-wise? This piecemeal approach results in a few

717:"and only since the development of medical imaging in the 1900s that techniques such as X-ray, CT and ultrasound have been able to view the ureters." this is sort of obvious. It'd be better if you just said "they are imaged using x-ray, CT, ultrasound, and uteroscopy" 301:

I have a daughter who is in her fourth month of pregnancy and the the procedure has caused even greater pain... my question is will she continue to hurt as great throughout the rest of the pregnancy and what are risk they may apply further into time? Thanks

919:"The ureter has a blood supply which varies along its course" this sounds like different parts of the ureter receive different quantities of blood, but the proceeding text talks about different parts of the ureter sourcing blood from different arteries 1658:

anatomy space where there are lots of 'comparative type' statements as you request and, in my opinion, they often make the text more confusing, which is why I haven't gone into more detail about other types of kidneys, the role of the bladder, etc. --

1161:"It is unclear if there is a role of surgery in vesicoureteral reflux" I don't understand. Are you trying to say one possibly effect of some kind of bladder-related surgery could result in reflux, or that it's unclear if surgery can fix reflux? 981:"Those vessels closer to the kidney drain into renal collecting vessels; into the lateral aortic nodes near the gonadal vessels" I don't understand. Is the part after the semi colon supposed to explain/elaborate the stuff before the semi colon? 1079:"One reason is that the natural history of the majority of vesicoureteral reflux is to improve without any intervention at all" it'd be less confusing to say, "One reason is because vesicoureteral reflux more often than not resolves itself" 996:

Oh dear, I agree that this use is incorrect. Either a grammatical error on my part (how embarrassing!) or a result of chopping and changing during article creation. I've fleshed out the text here, so it should make more sense.

1722: 89: 1712: 1727: 950:

You seem to be confusing semi colons with parentheses sometimes; "the gonadal arteries being the testicular artery in men and the ovarian artery in women" should be parentheses

1325:"a physical medical examination may be otherwise normal, except in late disease" would be clearer if you said "symptoms may not be present until a late stage of the disease" 1650:

I think the phrasing now is very clear. It's present in amniotes, who have metanephric-derived kidneys, where the duct is called the ureter, and it connects to the bladder:

must have been a hangover from before. The review article used is more up to date and in a more respectived medical journal, so I have removed that ambiguous statement. --

the modern structure; and only since the development of medical imaging in the 1900s that techniques such as X-ray, CT and ultrasound have been able to view the ureters

The way it's worded makes it sound like the fact that medical imaging wasn't invented until the 20th century is at the crux of understanding the history of the ureter

let me know what you think. I'm always worried when I mix singular and plural forms (as there is a left and a right ureter) that the end product is understandable. --

this article needs to go into far deeper detail about the muscles of the ureters. let's start wth what muscles are in the ureter

These are two related but independent clauses, which is the purpose of a semi-colon. I do not agree that this is incorrect. --
