Anatomy and Physiology of the Ureters

the ureters are

Bilateral muscular tubes that extend from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder

the most proximal portion of the ureter is the point at which the

ureter is attached to the renal pelvis

where the ureter is attached to the renal pelvis is referred to as the

ureteropelvic junction

the point at which the ureter meets the urinary bladder is referred to as the

trigone of the bladder

the purpose of the ureters is to

propel urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder

the ureters achieve the moving of urine by means of

peristalsis and gravity
