How does the path of the ureters through the bladder wall minimize the chances of vesicoureteric reflux (see Related Clinical Terms) and hydronephrosis (see “The Urinary System Throughout Life”)?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The human  urinary system, also called the renal system, is responsible for removal of wastes, toxic substances and excessive amounts of salt and water from the body. The humans consume food and water to meet the nutritional requirements of the body. The consumed nutrients are digested and absorbed into the blood which is then distributed in the whole body. After the distribution, accumulated wastes, toxins and residues are removed from the body by the urinary system. The human urinary system consists of four parts: the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra.
