"Traditionally, it is called the vesicoureteric junction, some anatomists, radiologists and other clinicians insist that the ureterovesical junction is more correct. This stems from the idea that junctions in anatomy generally use the more proximal component of the connecting parts as the first part of the word, and the more distal part as the second part of the word, e.g. metacarpophalangeal, not phalangeometacarpal, and ileocaecal valve, not caecoileal."

"It is nearly synonymous with ureteral orifice (UO), although depending on the context, the vesicoureteric junction could include a small amount of the distal most ureter, whereas the UO is limited to the opening from the ureter into the bladder only."

"The Chwalla membrane is a thin membrane between the ureteric bud and urogenital sinus. The Chwalla membrane has to dissolve/rupture during embryonic development to form a patent vesicoureteric junction. If this membrane does not rupture, it results in a ureterocele."
