Accepted Answer

The renal cortex descends between the pyramids as the renal columns. The pelvis is the expanded upper end of the ureter that collects urine from the kidney. Collecting ducts are structures that transport urine from the nephrons to the calyces. Calyces are cup-like structures that collect urine from the collecting ducts and funnel it towards the renal pelvis.
