Urine leaves the medullary collecting ducts through the renal papillae, emptying into the renal calyces, the renal pelvis, and finally into the urinary bladder via the ureter.

For example, for tumors of the bladder and the renal pelvis, previously we thought the elevated risk was maybe three to four times that of a nonsmoker.
13.
At an interval of 3 minutes, the renal blush is still evident ( to a lesser extent ) but the calyces and renal pelvis are now visible.
14.
The procedure requires cystoscopy and the placement of a small tube into the lower part of the ureter to inject contrast and opacify the ureter and renal pelvis.
15.
In humans, the ureters arise from the renal pelvis on the medial aspect of each kidney before descending towards the bladder on the front of the psoas major muscle.
16.
A renal pelvis greater than 12mm in a neonate is considered abnormal and suggests significant dilation and possible abnormalities such as obstruction or morphological abnormalities in the urinary tract.
17.
Urine is formed by nephrons, the functional unit of the kidney, and then flows through a system of converging tubules called pelvis of the kidney ( renal pelvis ).
18.
Distinctive features of the mammalian kidney, in comparison with that of other vertebrates, include the presence of the renal pelvis and renal pyramids, and of a clearly distinguishable cortex and medulla.
19.
The two most common types of kidney cancer are renal cell carcinoma ( RCC ) and transitional cell carcinoma ( TCC, also known as urothelial cell carcinoma ) of the renal pelvis.
20.
My current hypothesis is that they are effectively synonyms, since both terms describe the epithelial lining of the renal pelvis, the ureters, the bladder, and ( the proximal parts of ) the urethra.
