bowman's capsule. The collecting duct found in Bowman's Capsule passes the urine to the renal pelvis, which is drained by the ureter
ureter
The renal pelvis is the structure in the kidney that empties into the ureter. It collects urine from the calyces and funnels it into the ureter for transport to the bladder.
The cuplike collection region in the renal pelvis is called the renal calyx. It serves as a structure that collects urine from the kidney nephrons before it passes into the renal pelvis for further transport to the ureter.
Ureter
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.
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.
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 .
The renal papilla empties urine into the
ureterurethra
The enlarged area at the top of the ureter is called the renal pelvis. It is a funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the renal calyces and channels it into the ureter, which then transports the urine to the bladder. The renal pelvis plays a crucial role in the urinary system by facilitating the flow of urine from the kidneys.
Blood enters any of the kidney's numerous nephrons and is filtered through glomerulus in the glomerular capsule (also called the Bowman's capsule) after which the fluid travels through the renal tubule (consisting of the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, then distal convoluted tubule), where crucial nutrients are reabsorbed into the bloodstream, before finally becoming fully concentrated in the collecting ducts. The collecting ducts then empty out to the renal pelvis.
