How does urine travel from your kidneys to your bladder?

Discover the incredible anatomy of the ureters in this premium 3D medical-science visualization.

Learn how:
- The ureters connect both kidneys to the urinary bladder.
- Smooth-muscle contractions propel urine through the ureter.
- The protective urothelial lining forms the inner surface.
- The oblique intramural ureter helps prevent backward urine flow at the bladder entrance.

Explore the ureterovesical junction and the body's remarkable anti-reflux mechanism.
