ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -These areas are: the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ), the ureterovesical junction (UVJ), and the crossover of the common iliac arteries. The UPJ is where the pelvis of the kidney transitions into the ureter and the UVJ is where the ureters enter 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: -The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ureter is a small tube, or duct, that connects the bladder and kidneys. Urine passes through the ureter from the kidneys to the bladder. The urethra is the tubular path that connects the bladder to the body’s exterior, allowing urine to exit the body.
