Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The renal pelvis is occasionally called the pyelum (from Greek pýelos, “trough", ‘anything hollow’), and the combining form pyelo-denotes the renal pelvis (pyelo-is not to be confused with pyo-).
Detailed explanation-2: -Renal is an adjective, whereas kidney is a noun. The two words are not tautologies. The word, renal, is derived from Latin (ren). The words for kidney in French (rein), Italian (rene) and Spanish (rinon) are very similar to renal.
Detailed explanation-3: -The area at the center of the kidney. Urine collects here and is funneled into the ureter, the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder.
