The ureters (you have two) are ducts (tubes) that connect each kidney to the bladder. The urine flows from the kidneys to the urinary bladder through the ureters to be stored until the bladder is ready to discharge its contents through the urethra. They are about 10 to 12 inches in length and the urine moves downward by gravity and peristalsis (waves of contractions). The ureters enter the urinary bladder at an angle to help prevent any back flow (reflux) of urine back into the ureter. matve
