Question

List the components of the urinary tract from the renal pelvis outward.

Answer 1

The components of the urinary tract from the renal pelvis outward are renal pelvis, calyces, medulla, cortex, kidney, ureter, renal vein, renal artery

Further explanation

In humans, the renal pelvis is the point where the two or three major calyces join together. The renal pelvis is divided into two or three spaces such as the major calyces which in turn divide into further minor calyces.

The urinary tract is the body's drainage system to remove urine, which is composed of wastes and extra fluid

The components of the urinary tract from the renal pelvis outward are renal pelvis, calyces, medulla, cortex, kidney, ureter, renal vein, renal artery

1. The renal pelvis and calyces are embedded in the fatty tissue of the sinus renalis.
2. The renal medulla is the innermost part of the kidney.
3. The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.
4. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs found in vertebrates and it is essential for balancing the body's internal environment.
5. Ureters are tubes made of smooth muscle fibers that propel urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
6. The renal veins are veins that drain the kidney. Renal veins are connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava and carry the blood filtered by the kidney.
7. The renal artery is one of these two blood vessels and it is the only vascular supply to the kidneys.

Answer 2

This are the components of the urinary tract from the renal pelvis outward. Renal Pelvis

As the kidneys make urine, it assemble within the kidneys in structures called the calices. Ureters

Urine passage way from the renal pelvis to the ureters. The urinary bladder is the organ that briefly stores the urine. The bladder can keep approximately 35 oz. of urine. The urethra is the last component of the urinary tract. Urine enters the urethra at the trigon area of the bladder, then passes through the urethra to exit the body.
