renal columns separate renal pyramids in medulla
minor calyces converge --> ____ --> ____ major calyces --> RENAL PELVIS
renal pelvis becomes... portion of kidney that narrows to become URETER
retroperitoneal position of kidney: within abdominal cavity, posterior to peritoneal cavity
males: major structures of pelvic cavity urinary bladder, prostate, rectum
