Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -From the papilla, urine drains into cuplike structures called the major and minor calyces . From the calyces the urine drains into the wider open space of the renal pelvis. This acts like a funnel draining the urine out of the kidney into the ureter.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urine drains from the ducts in the papilla into a renal calyx. Each calyx is lined by transitional epithelium, or urothelium. The calyces merge into the renal pelvis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The renal pelvis is a funnel shaped structure present on the medial side of each kidney. It is located within the hilum of the kidney. The renal pelvis receives the urine from the major calyx.
