Renal papilla
Papillary ducts of Bellini discharge urine into the lumen of a minor calyx, forming a perforated region of the papilla called the area cribrosa. The minor calyx is continuous with a major calyx, which continues into the renal pelvis. In general, these excretory passages are lined by transitional epithelium resting on a thin lamina propria and a double layer of smooth muscle. 200x
