Leave a comment. Justin Timberlake may have been nominated at the Oscars on Sunday night, but if the 36-year-old was nervous he wasn't letting it show. Instead, the Mirrors hitmaker showed off his mischievous side after he and wife Jessica Biel had arrived for Hollywood's glitziest night and posed together for pictures.
Function of Ureter | Health Dictionary. Ureter, in a human organism, is a muscular tube, fairly thick and rigid, that leads URINE from the kidney to the urinary BLADDER. Both of the two tubular structures arise from the renal pelvis and collect the urine from the kidneyâs collecting tubules.
Ureters are the two funnel-shaped tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. A ureter that does not connect properly to the bladder and drains somewhere outside of the bladder is called an ectopic ureter. In boys the ectopic ureter usually drains into the urethra closer to the prostate.ost commonly, as seen here, the ectopic ureter drains to the urethra. 1  Hydronephrosis: When the ectopic ureter connects outside the bladder, the insertion is usually narrow, creating a level of obstruction. 2  The urine that is draining from the kidneys backs up and causes the kidney and ureter to dilate (hydronephrosis).
