Major calices
The 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
The conical mass of tissue within the renal medulla is called the renal pyramid. This structure is involved in the production of urine and contains the nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and producing urine.
This structure is likely describing the renal papilla, which projects into the minor calyx in the kidney. The renal papilla is the tip of the renal pyramid containing the openings of the collecting ducts for urine drainage into the renal calyces and eventually the renal pelvis.
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.
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.
Renal Sinus receives urine from the calyces.

Renal papilla. The renal papilla is the tip of each renal pyramid where urine is collected before being expelled into the minor calyx.
The conical mass of tissue within the renal medulla is called the renal pyramid. This structure is involved in the production of urine and contains the nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and producing urine.
The ureter expands within the kidney to collect urine filtered by the neprhons. The renal pyramid is not made up of the ureter.

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.
