the hilum of the kidney is where ______ connects to the kidney.
□ ureter
□ urinary bladder
□ urethra
□ nerves
□ blood vessels

Explanation:

The hilum of the kidney is a concave part of the medial border. The ureter, which carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder, connects at the hilum. Also, blood vessels (renal artery bringing blood in and renal vein taking blood out) and nerves enter/exit the kidney at the hilum. The urinary bladder is a separate organ that stores urine and is connected to the ureter (not at the hilum). The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body and has no direct connection to the kidney's hilum.

Answer:

ureter, nerves, blood vessels
