ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -In the urinary system, the peristaltic motion is caused by a muscular contraction of the ureteral wall initiated by pacemakers. This drives urine from the kidney to the bladder through the ureter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ureteral peristalsis can be considered as a series of compressive zones, corresponding to waves of active muscular contraction, that move at near-constant speed along the ureter towards the bladder.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two ureters. These narrow tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Muscles in the ureter walls continually tighten and relax forcing urine downward, away from the kidneys.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ureteral Peristaltic Activity The ureter is a muscular tube interposed between two cavities of low pressure, the renal pelvis proximally and the urinary bladder distally. It is responsible for the transport of a variable volume of urine from the pelvis to the bladder.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ureters are bilateral thin (3 to 4 mm) tubular structures that connect the kidneys to the urinary bladder, transporting urine from the renal pelvis into the bladder. The muscular layers are responsible for the peristaltic activity that the ureter uses to move the urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
