title: The triangle of the urinary bladder in American mink (Mustela vision (Brisson, 1756)).
abstract: 60 bladders of American minks were dissected according to conventional method. Biometrical analysis with the use of digital image analysis system was applied to the triangles of the bladders. It was found that these triangles differ both in shape (narrow, broad) and symmetry (considerable asymmetry). The ureteral orifices also showed a variety in shape (five types) and number (double orifices).
