Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The two poles join at the inner margin and form the renal hilus (Hilum renale). This serves as a gate for inflowing and outflowing vessels. The kidney is surrounded by a capsule of tight connective tissue (Capsula fibrosa renis). The surface of the kidney is delicately furrowed due to the history of its development. In contrast to the blood vessels, the ureter is often slightly dorsally displaced and exits the renal pelvis below the vessels.
