(The word renal refers to kidney.) Blood leaving the kidney enters the major vein, the vena cava, via the renal vein. Also connecting to the kidney is a third tube, the ureter, which conducts urine to the urinary bladder for temporary storage.
The lighter-colored outer part of the kidney is the renal cortex. The darker inner part is the renal medulla. Blood is filtered in the renal cortex and medulla to form urine. Within the kidney, urine travels through many structures before it reaches the ureter. The renal medulla contains dark triangular areas of tissue called the renal pyramids. Urine flows through a renal pyramid and exits at the renal papilla, the tip. The renal papilla has collecting ducts, small openings that allow urine to pass through.
