Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This mechanism is called the uretero-renal reflex. In the lower part, the ureter obliquely enters the bladder and passes several centimeters beneath the urothelium, so that the intravesical pressure compresses the ureter, preventing the reflux of urine during micturition.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ureter provides a way for urine to flow from the kidney to the bladder. Peristalsis in the ureter partially forces the urine flow, along with hydrostatic pressure. Ureteral diseases and a double J stent, which is commonly inserted in a ureteral stenosis or occlusion, disturb normal peristalsis.
