Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peristalsis is a wave-like contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles. In the urinary system, peristalsis helps move urine from the renal pelvis to the bladder through the ureter. Once in the bladder, peristalsis is not necessary as the bladder can hold urine until it is expelled through the urethra. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) ureter.
