Ureter

In human anatomy, the ureters are the ducts that carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, passing anterior to the psoas major. The ureters are muscular tubes that can propel urine along by the motions of peristalsis. In the adult, the ureters are usually 25-30cm long. In humans, the ureters enter the bladder through the back, running within the wall of the bladder for a few centimetres. The backflow of urine is prevented by valves known as ureterovesical valves, pressure from the filling of the bladder, and the tone of the muscle in the bladder wall.In the female, the ureters pass through the mesometrium on the way to the urinary bladder.
