The renal system is composed of a number of organs which store fluid, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra and a bladder (Connor, Morgan and Harwood-Pearce, 2006). Each kidney is joined to the bladder by a long muscular tube called a ureter, which transports urine away from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. Urine is then transported from the kidneys along the ureters by peristalsis.
