1. Ureternoun

   Ureters are two long and small canals from the bason of the kidnies, one on each side. They lie between the doubling of the peritonæum, and descending in the form of an S, pierce the bladder near its neck, where they run first some space betwixt its coats, and then they open in its cavity. Their use is to carry the urine from the kidnies to the bladder. John Quincy

   Etymology: uretere, Fr.

   The kidnies and ureters serve for expurgation. Richard Wiseman.

1. ureter

   A ureter is a tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. In humans, there are two ureters, one attached to each kidney. It is part of the urinary system and plays a critical role in the excretory process. The ureters are responsible for the transport of urine produced by the kidneys, enabling it to be stored in the bladder before being removed from the body during urination.

1. Ureter

   In human anatomy, the ureters are tubes made of smooth muscle fibers that propel urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. In the adult, the ureters are usually 25–30 cm long and ~3–4 mm in diameter. Histologically, the ureter contains transitional epithelium and an additional smooth muscle layer in the more distal one-third to assist with peristalsis. In humans, the ureters arise from the renal pelvis on the medial aspect of each kidney before descending towards the bladder on the front of the psoas major muscle. The ureters cross the pelvic brim near the bifurcation of the iliac arteries. This is a common site for the impaction of kidney stones. The ureters run posteroinferiorly on the lateral walls of the pelvis and then curve anteriormedially to enter the bladder through the back, at the vesicoureteric junction, running within the wall of the bladder for a few centimetres. The backflow of urine is prevented by valves known as ureterovesical valves. In females, the ureters pass through the mesometrium and under the uterine arteries on the way to the urinary bladder. An effective phrase for remembering this anatomical relationship is "water under the bridge."
