Why does the ureter have a thick muscular wall?!
Question: The purpose of the double layer of muscle in the walls of our two ureters is propel urine down and into the urinary bladder. It's already been mentioned that this rhythmic process of contractions is called peristalsis. Peristalsis is the same means by which food is propelled through the small and large intestines, the esophagus and substances through tubular structures in the body.

To move urine down to the bladder, ureters are thin so the motion of contraction down the ureter from the kidney to bladder helps the urine move along the urinary tract. It will also help move stones
To enable its peristaltic action on excreted wastes, including solids.
