MIRACLES OF THE

Spring 2023

,Figure #1: Ureter tissue




The ureters are tubes made up of smooth muscles that propel urine from the kidneys to

the urinary bladder [1]. The ureters begin at the ureteropelvic junction, which lies posteriorly to

the renal vein. The ureters travel inferiorly to the abdominal cavity and the uterine artery is found

lateral and superior to the ureters [1].

When the ureters enter the pelvic cavity, they are surrounded by connective tissue and

then travel backward and outward, passing in front of the internal iliac arteries and veins [1].

They then travel inward and forward, crossing the umbilical, inferior, and middle rectal arteries.

The wall of the ureter consists of three layers made up of tissues. The outer layer, also known as

the fibrous coat, is a supporting layer of fibrous connective tissue [1]. The middle layer, also

known as the muscular coat, consists of the inner circular and outer longitudinal smooth muscle

[1]. The middle layer is essential for peristalsis, propelling the urine [1]. The inner layer, also

known as the mucosa, is composed of stratified transitional epithelium found to line the ureter,

serving as an adequate permeability barrier, which makes the ureter impenetrable to water and

,other molecules [1]. Under the epithelium tissue, a thick, fibroelastic lamina proprina can be

found [1].
