The ureters are fibromuscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. They are not intraperitoneal but rather retroperitoneal, they are longer than 12 cm (typically around 25-30 cm in adults), and they extend from the renal pelvis (not the hilum directly) to the posterolateral wall of the urinary bladder, not the anterolateral wall.
