ureter
The renal pelvis is the structure in the kidney that empties into the ureter. It collects urine from the calyces and funnels it into the ureter for transport to the bladder.
Ureter
The cuplike collection region in the renal pelvis is called the renal calyx. It serves as a structure that collects urine from the kidney nephrons before it passes into the renal pelvis for further transport to the ureter.
The cavity within the kidney that collects urine is called the renal pelvis. From the renal pelvis, urine travels down the ureter to the bladder for storage and eventual excretion.
A pelvocalyceal system refers to the structure within the kidney that includes the renal pelvis and calyces. The renal pelvis is a funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the kidney and connects to the ureter, while the calyces are cup-like structures that collect urine from the kidney tubules.
Renal Pelvis
Major calicesThe renal pelvis is also known as the pyelum The renal pelvis acts as a funnel for urine from the kidney to the urethra .
The renal papilla empties urine into the
ureterurethra
The structure in the kidneys that conveys the processed urine to the renal pelvis is called the renal papilla. The renal papilla is located at the apex of the renal pyramid and is where urine is collected before being passed into the renal pelvis.
The flat cavity that is continuous with the ureter is the renal pelvis. It is a funnel-shaped structure in the kidney that collects urine from the calyces and funnels it into the ureter for transportation to the bladder.
