solution
At operation ureter is recognized by:
Its pale glistening appearance
By a fine longitudinal plexus of vessels on its surface
More particularly by its peristaltic movement
By palpation between finger and thumb as a firm cord which, when escapes, gives a characteristic ‘snap’.
Absence of pulsation does not serve to identify a structure as ureter because veins and obliterated umblical artery are also non pulsatile.
