12.6: Ureters
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Urine passes through the ureter from each kidney and enters the urinary bladder (Figure 12.1). Occasional waves of peristalsis in the muscle layer in each ureter pump urine toward the bladder. Gravity may assist the flow of urine through the ureters. The ureters seem to undergo no significant age changes.
