Accepted Answer

The hilum is the entry and exit point for the renal artery, renal vein, and ureter. The minor and major calyces are structures that collect urine within the kidney, and the collecting ducts are part of the renal tubules that transport urine towards the renal pelvis. The renal sinus is the area within the kidney where the renal pelvis, calyces, blood vessels, and nerves are located.
