Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomy of the kidney: The kidney is composed of several structures, including the renal cortex (outer layer), renal medulla (inner layer), and renal pelvis (central collecting region). The renal pelvis collects urine from the kidney and serves as a funnel to transport it to the next structure.

Identify the function of the renal pelvis: The renal pelvis is the area where urine from the nephrons (functional units of the kidney) is collected before being transported out of the kidney.

Determine the connection between the renal pelvis and other structures: The renal pelvis is continuous with the ureter, which is a tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder for storage.

Eliminate incorrect options: The urinary bladder is not directly connected to the renal pelvis; it is connected to the ureter. The renal cortex and renal medulla are internal structures of the kidney and do not directly connect to the renal pelvis.

Conclude that the correct answer is the ureter, as it is the structure directly continuous with the renal pelvis and responsible for transporting urine to the urinary bladder.
