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. The collecting duct of the kidney consists of a series of tubules and ducts they connect to a minor calyx or directly to the renal pelvis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ureters enter the bladder from its back surface, traveling 1.5–2 cm (0.59–0.79 in) before opening into the bladder at an angle on its outer back surface at the slit-like ureteric orifices. This location is also called the vesicoureteric junction.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The blood supply to the ureter is segmental.
