Best Answer

The ureter tubes move urine from the kidneys to the bladder using something known as peristalsis. Peristalsis is a rhythmic and smooth contraction of muscle tissue to create a "wave." A good way to think of it is like squeezing tooth paste from a tube. It is due to this contraction of the muscles that pushes urine forward that it does not spill back in to the ureters.
