calyx
It funnels urine towards the ureter

6. Urine from the
calyx then passes
into the renal
pelvis and
continues out
down the ureter
Peristalsis moves urine from
one structure to the next

8. The ureter runs down from the kidney
into the bladder and then the urethra
from bladder to outside the body,
through which we urinate
