Right ureter
Ureter dexter
Definition
The ureters are the two tubes which convey the urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
The ureter proper measures from 25 to 30 cm. in length, and is a thick-walled narrow cylindrical tube which is directly continuous near the lower end of the kidney with the tapering extremity of the renal pelvis. It runs downward and medialward in front of the Psoas major and, entering the pelvic cavity, finally opens into the fundus of the urinary bladder.
