| collecting system |
The hollow, branched, interior portion of the kidney system that normally is full of urine. This is the target area for percutaneous procedures and the space in which most stones form. The exit of the collecting system (see Ureteropelvic junction) is shaped like a funnel and leads into the ureter, the tube that connects the kidney with the urinary bladder.
