major calyces

The branches of the renal pelvis are known as _________ __________

Adventitia

The outermost layer of fibrous connective tissue surrounding organs or structures like the ureters and urinary bladder, anchoring them to surrounding tissues.

Detrusor muscle

The multi-layered smooth muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder that contracts to squeeze urine out during urination (micturition).

Lamina propria

A layer of loose connective tissue directly beneath the epithelial lining of mucous membranes (such as in the ureters and bladder).

Renal corpuscle

The filtration unit of a nephron, composed of a tuft of capillaries called the glomerulus enclosed by Bowman's (glomerular) capsule.

Umbrella cells

Large, dome-shaped superficial cells found in the transitional epithelium (urothelium) of the urinary tract that can stretch and provide a barrier against toxic, hypertonic urine.
