PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The renal pelvis or pelvis of the kidney is the funnel-like dilated part of the ureter in the kidney. It is formed by the convergence of the major calyces, acting as a funnel for urine flowing from the major calyces to the ureter.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -renal pelvis, enlarged upper end of the ureter, the tube through which urine flows from the kidney to the urinary bladder. The pelvis, which is shaped somewhat like a funnel that is curved to one side, is almost completely enclosed in the deep indentation on the concave side of the kidney, the sinus.
