The tubule that travels from the renal pelvis to the bladder is referred to as the what?
A
Afferent arteriole
B
Efferent arteriole
C
Ureter
D
Glomerulus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is A Ureter. The distal convoluted tubule is the last part of the nephron and it empties its contents or urine into the collecting duct.

Detailed explanation-2: -Urine is made in the renal tubules and collects in the renal pelvis of each kidney. The urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. The urine is stored in the bladder until it leaves the body through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ureterovesical junction is located where the ureter (the tube that drains urine from the kidney) meets the bladder.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each ureter is a small tube, about 25 cm long, that carries urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder. It descends from the renal pelvis, along the posterior abdominal wall, which is behind the parietal peritoneum, and enters the urinary bladder on the posterior inferior surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ureters. The ureters are tubular in structure about 22–30 cm in length and connect the renal pelvis to the bladder. It is along this route that the ureters transport urine from the site of manufacture in the kidneys to the bladder for storage prior to voiding.
