Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In humans, the renal pelvis is divided into two or three spaces-the major calyces-which in turn divide into further minor calyces. The walls of the calyces, pelvis and ureters are lined with smooth muscle that can contract to force urine towards the bladder by peristalisis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.
