Which tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder?

Explanation:
Urine moves from the kidneys to the bladder via the ureters. These muscular tubes transport urine downward through peristaltic waves, delivering it to the bladder for storage. The renal pelvis is the collecting area inside the kidney before it enters the ureter, so it isn’t the main transport tube to the bladder. The kidneys receive blood through the renal arteries, which isn’t involved in urine transport. The urethra carries urine out of the bladder and out of the body.
