The apex of the renal pelvis extends outwards from the kidney, and becomes continuous with the superior end of the ureter.
Detailed explanation-2: -The kidney pelvis acts like a funnel, collecting the urine produced in the kidney and leading to a central “stem, ‘’ the ureter. The epithelial lining of the kidney pelvis is an urothelium, beginning as a single cell layer at the fornices and expanding to three to six cell layers when it reaches the ureter.
