Ureters carry urine from the

The ureters are muscular tubes that carry urine from the renal pelvis, which is the central collecting region of the kidney, to the urinary bladder. The ureters accomplish this by peristaltic contractions, which propel urine downward from the kidneys to the bladder. Once urine enters the bladder, it is temporarily stored until it is expelled from the body during urination.
