Kidney And Bladder Ureter. The urinary bladder is a hollow muscular and stretchy organ that rests on the pelvic floor. A ureteral obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the tubes ureters that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder.
As the kidneys ascend the ureters elongate and open into the bladder superiorly while the roots of the mesonephric ducts are carried inferiorly before fusing to form the trigone region. A kidney ureter and bladder kub study is an x ray study that allows your doctor to assess the organs of your urinary and gastrointestinal systems. The by products filtered by the kidney are led with water as urine or secondary urine to the ureters from the kidney in the vesica urinaria urinary bladder.
It collects and stores urine from the kidneys before the urine is eliminated through urination.
Doctors can use it to help them diagnose. As shown in the figure below urine enters the urinary bladder from the ureters through two ureteral openings on either side of the back wall of the bladder. A kub x ray may be the first diagnostic procedure used to assess the urinary system. It collects and stores urine from the kidneys before the urine is eliminated through urination.
