renal pelvis (cavity system)
Explanation:

  -> Thank you Brigitte. I will try to do that. In my opinion, Dr. Schulz's answer is much better.. (She has qualified this). // I am enjoying very much reading your writings on vienna.net. Right now I am reading the one about "whiners, whiperers, etc. :)!

Explanation:
or, renal collecting system

The German is in fact unusual - you'd rather say "Nierenbeckenhohlsystem" or, better, "Nierenhohlsystem".
