Ureters, Bladder, Urethra

The idea
Urine travels from each kidney down a ureter to the urinary bladder, and leaves the body through the urethra.
In practice
The kidneys and ureters lie entirely behind the peritoneum; the bladder has a peritoneal covering only over its top, called the dome.
Where people slip
Each ureter is a thin tube about a foot long, running down the back of the abdomen behind the peritoneum.
