ureter
urethra
No, the renal tubules do not empty urine directly into the renal medulla. The renal tubules are responsible for reabsorbing water and other important substances from the filtrate, which eventually forms urine that is transported to the renal pelvis before draining into the ureter.
The renal pelvis collects urine filtrate from the collecting tubules.
The renal pelvis or pyelum.
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
The collecting ducts from the nephrons empty immediately into the renal pelvis or pyelum. The renal pelvis is part of the ureter that collects urine.
Nephrons discharge their urine at the collecting ducts, which are part of the renal system. Once urine is produced in the nephron's renal tubules, it flows into the collecting ducts where it is further concentrated and transported to the renal pelvis. From the renal pelvis, urine then moves into the ureters and eventually to the bladder for storage before excretion.
glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, proximal and distal tubules, and the loop of Henle are all part of what?
The most superficial layer of the internal kidney is the renal cortex. This region contains the glomeruli and convoluted tubules where blood is filtered to form urine.
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.
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.
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 .
