Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The renal pelvis is a large cavity that collects the urine as it is produced. The periphery of the renal pelvis is interrupted by cuplike projections called calyces. A minor calyx surrounds the renal papillae of each pyramid and collects urine from that pyramid. Several minor calyces converge to form a major calyx.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nephron is the filtering unit of your kidney. There are about 1 million nephrons in each kidney. Every nephron has a glomerulus, which is a group of tiny blood vessels and the starting point for filtering waste products out of your blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys act as very efficient filters for ridding the body of waste and toxic substances, and returning vitamins, amino acids, glucose, hormones and other vital substances into the bloodstream. The kidneys receive a high blood flow and this is filtered by very specialised blood vessels.
