How does urine move down the ureter?
A
gravity
B
peristalsis
C
pressure
D
projectile
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the urinary system, the peristaltic motion is caused by a muscular contraction of the ureteral wall initiated by pacemakers. This drives urine from the kidney to the bladder through the ureter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ureteral Peristaltic Activity It is responsible for the transport of a variable volume of urine from the pelvis to the bladder. Normal ureteral function has two separate phases, namely, ureteral filling, which is entirely passive, and ureteral emptying, which is entirely active.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the end of the digestive process, peristalsis in your urethra excretes urine from your body, and peristalsis in your rectum and anus excrete poop. When your digestive system is empty, such as during the night while you sleep, peristalsis continues to clear out excess residue.
