The rate of conduction of the contraction wave is the same whether the wave passes from kidney to bladder or vice versa. 2. Segments taken from the ureter near the kidney and some distance from it are equally sensitive to epinephrine. 3. Epinephrine increases the rate of conduction of both peristaltic and antiperistaltic waves in the ureter and to the same degree.
