Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Urine travels from each kidney through a fine tube called a ureter to the bladder, where it is stored.
