The ureters are muscular tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder, typically measuring about 25 to 30 centimeters (10 to 12 inches) in length and approximately 3 to 4 millimeters in diameter. Their size can vary slightly among individuals, but they generally maintain this range. The ureters play a crucial role in transporting urine through peristaltic movements.
