Answer to Love has no boundaries
Correct answer is B. Kidney stones, once form, usually lodge at one of three locations: the ureteropelvic junction, the ureteral crossing of the iliac vessels, and the ureterolvesical junction, the three locations where the ureter tends to narrow. A diet that is high in protein, slaty food or sugars is associated with kidney stone formation. Dehydration from digestive disorders like inflammatory bowel disease can also lead to kidney stones. Most kidney stones are made of calcium in the form of calcium oxalate. They can be dissolved once passed in the urine with muriatic acid.
= Renal column
= Uteropelvic junction
= Ureter
= Ureter in abdomen, above its crossing of the iliac vessels
= Ureter in pelvis, below its crossing of the iliac vessels, prior to ureterovesical junction
Answer to this question is based on material presented in lectures 8 of the Abdomen Lecture Series.
