Pyoureter is the medical term meaning pus in the ureter.
The upper ureter connects the renal pelvis to the middle ureter, which runs along the abdominal cavity. The lower ureter extends from the middle ureter to the bladder. The juxta vesical ureter is the portion of the ureter closest to the bladder where it enters the bladder wall.
Blockage of a ureter would cause urine to collect in the kidney, leading to potential complications such as infection, swelling, and decreased kidney function. Prompt medical attention is required to address the blockage and prevent further damage.
The inner layer of the kidney that leads to the ureter is called the renal pelvis. It collects urine from the kidney's collecting ducts and funnels it into the ureter, which carries the urine to the bladder for storage.
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.
