The individual units of the kidney, called nephrons, produce urine and empty into structures called collecting ducts. Many nephrons empty into a single collecting duct. Similarly, many collecting ducts empty into a minor calyx. Minor calyces empty into a major calyx, and the major calyces empty into the singular renal pelvis (each kidney has a single pelvis). The renal pelvis empties into the ureter.
