What is the cavity within the kidney that is continuous with ureter?

The cavity within the kidney that collects urine?

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.

Does the ureter expand as a renal pyramid inside the kidney?

The ureter expands within the kidney to collect urine filtered by the neprhons. The renal pyramid is not made up of the ureter.

What is a cavity wall?

A Cavity wall has a cavity or cavities within the wall. Examples are masonry, such as concrete block or brick with two separate wall layers separated by a continuous cavity, or a timber framed wall with a brick veneer separated by a continuous cavity. The cavity is often used as a drainage or ventilation space, reducing moisture transmission through the wall.

What is pelvocalyceal complexes?

Pelvocalyceal complexes are part of the urinary system and refer to the structures that collect urine within the kidney before it passes into the ureter. They consist of the renal pelvis and the calyces, which are cup-like structures that collect urine produced by the kidney's nephrons.

What is a pelvocalyceal?

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.

What parts of the kidney?

The outer, reddish region, next to the capsule, is the renal cortex. This surrounds a darker reddish-brown region called the renal medulla. The renal medulla consists of a series of renal pyramids, which appear striated because they contain straight tubular structures and blood vessels. The wide bases of the pyramids are adjacent to the cortex and the pointed ends, called renal papillae, are directed toward the center of the kidney. Portions of the renal cortex extend into the spaces between adjacent pyramids to form renal columns. The cortex and medulla make up the parenchyma, or functional tissue, of the kidney. The central region of the kidney contains the renal pelvis, which is located in the renal sinus and is continuous with the ureter. The renal pelvis is a large cavity that collects the urine as it is produced. The periphery of the renal pelvis is interrupted by cuplike projections called calyces. A minor calyx surrounds the renal papillae of each pyramid and collects urine from that pyramid. Several minor calyces converge to form a major calyx. From the major calyces the urine flows into the renal pelvis and from there into the ureter.Each kidney contains over a million functional units, called nephrons, in the parenchyma (cortex and medulla). The nephrons make up the bulk of the kidney tissue and join up with larger collecting tubes that eventually form the main urine-carrying duct - the ureter Each kidney has an indentation, called the hilum, on the medial side. The hilum leads to a large cavity, called the renal sinus, within the kidney. The ureter and renal vein leave the kidney, and the renal artery enters the kidney at the hilum.Malphigian body can be further divided into glomerulus and bowman's capsule,whereas renal tubules can be divided into proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule and collecting tubule.

The renal pelvis is divided in small tubes?

The renal pelvis is not divided into small tubes. It is a funnel-shaped structure in the kidney that collects urine from the calyces and transports it to the ureter for excretion. The calyces are the structures that are divided into smaller tubes within the kidney.

Do the kidneys lie within the peritoneal cavity?

Kidneys are retroperitoneal. There are in the abdominal cavity, but not in the peritoneal cavity.

What is calyceal lithiasis?

Calyceal lithiasis refers to the presence of kidney stones within the calyces, which are small cup-like structures in the kidney where urine collects before passing into the ureter. These stones can cause pain, blockages, and sometimes lead to renal damage if left untreated. Treatment may involve medications to help pass the stone, procedures to break up the stone, or surgery to remove the stone.

Is the organs of any cavity referred to as the viscera?

Yes, organs located within any body cavity are commonly referred to as viscera. Examples include organs within the thoracic (chest) cavity, abdominal cavity, and pelvic cavity.

What is the difference between a ureterostomy tube and a ureteral stent?

At first u have to know what an ureter is. It is a tube that drains urine from kidney to the urinary bladder. An ureterostomy is a diversion where ureter is mobilized surgically and the end is brought out through abdominal wall. Ureteral stent is a device that is inserted within the ureter to overcome an obstruction. Dr. Angel General Surgeon

What body cavity is the ascending colon found?

The peritoneal cavity (within the abdomen)
