GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The area at the center of the kidney. Urine collects here and is funneled into the ureter, the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -The proximal end of your ureter connects to your renal pelvis. There’s a renal pelvis in the center of each of your kidneys, and it collects pee.

Detailed explanation-3: -The renal pelvis is a hollow area in the centre of each kidney where urine (pee) collects. The renal artery brings blood to the kidney. The renal vein takes blood back to the body after it has passed through the kidney.

Detailed explanation-4: -Listen to pronunciation. (kuh-LEK-ting dukt) The last part of a long, twisting tube that collects urine from the nephrons (cellular structures in the kidney that filter blood and form urine) and moves it into the renal pelvis and ureters. Also called renal collecting tubule.

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.
