Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ureters are tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and do not involve the internal structures of the kidneys. Therefore, the infection of the ureters would not include the pelvis or any of the internal structures of the kidney such as nephrons, medulla, or renal columns.
