Isotopes when written out are common nouns, and should begin with the uncapitalized element name, followed by a hyphen (not an em dash or en dash) and then the mass number. Examples are carbon-14 and uranium-235.
The central region of the kidney contains the renal pelvis, which is located in the renal sinus, and is continuous with the ureter. The renal pelvis is a large cavity that collects the urine as it is produced. The periphery of the renal pelvis is interrupted by cuplike projections called calyces.
The renal papilla has collecting ducts, small openings that allow urine to pass through. From the collecting ducts, the urine progresses to the renal pelvis, a widened area of the kidney, and exits through the ureter. The urine passes through the ureters to the urinary bladder.idneys: location and structure. The kidney is a reddish bean-shaped organ in the lower back near the twelfth rib. It sits within perirenal fat and renal fascia (connective tissue) that protect against injury. The lighter-colored outer part of the kidney is the renal cortex.
