  CorBkCh3htm
Calyces are tiny, almost pin prick size, and arranged in rows along ridges that radiate from the center of a growing plate to the plates margin.
Calyces range from 10 to 15 mm in diameter, are somewhat irregular in outline and their rims show a tooth-like appearance that is caused by the incomplete development of one cycle of septa.
Calycal diameter ranges 2 to 5 mm and the calyces are clearly separated and slightly protruding from the coral surface.

 Brooklyn Botanic Garden: Red Sorrel, Hibiscus sabdariffa: The Other "Cranberry"
The red pods—technically the fruits—and calyces are fused and difficult to distinguish from one another.
Along with the fruit, calyces, and flowers, the leaves of red sorrel are also edible.
The calyces, for example, are high in calcium, niacin, riboflavin, and iron.

 Floridata: Hibiscus sabdariffa
Florida cranberry's red stems and red petioles are pretty, but it's the pointy-tipped calyces at the base of the flowers that are harvested for juice.
The calyces are harvested while they are still tender and juicy, about 10 days after the flowers appear.
Bring 2 quarts (1.9 l) of calyces and 1 quart (1 l) of water to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, then strain and use the juice with sugar to make a refreshing cranberry-like drink, or make jelly or wine as you would with any fruit juice.

  Roselle
In 1971, it was reported that roselle calyces, produced and dried in Senegal, particularly around Bambey, were being shipped to Europe (Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy) at the rate of 10 to 25 tons annually.
Juice made by cooking a quantity of calyces with 1/4 water in ratio to amount of calyces, is used for cold drinks and may be frozen or bottled if not for immediate needs.
Infusions of the leaves or calyces are regarded as diuretic, cholerectic, febrifugal and hypotensive, decreasing the viscosity of the blood and stimulating intestinal peristalsis.

The renal sinus is lined by a prolongation of the fibrous tunic, which is continued around the lips of the hilum.
The renal calyces, from seven to thirteen in number, are cup-shaped tubes, each of which embraces one or more of the renal papillæ; they unite to form two or three short tubes, and these in turn join to form a funnel-shaped sac, the renal pelvis.
The renal calyces and pelvis form the upper expanded end of the excretory duct of the kidney.

 [No title]
The major calyces empty into the renal pelvis, which in turn drains into the ureter.
As the reduced volume of filtrate ascends toward the distal convoluted tubule in the cortex, the removal of chloride and sodium (but not water) by the cells lining this portion of the loop causes the fluid in its lumen to gradually become isotonic or hypotonic.
The ureter wall thickens and the muscle cells change from a helical to a longitudinal array near the bladder before fanning out in the bladder wall to form the superficial and deep trigones of the bladder.

 eMedicine - Hydronephrosis and Hydroureter : Article Excerpt by: Srinivas Vourganti, MD
Hydronephrosis is defined as a dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces.
On the other hand, a chronically dilated system may be associated with compression of the papillae, thinning of the parenchyma around the calyces, and coalescence of the septa between calyces.
Eventually, cortical atrophy progresses to the point at which only a thin rim of parenchyma is present.

A Florida horticulturalist wrote that fresh hibiscus calyces were being sold by the quart in southern Florida in 1907, and they were known as "Florida cranberry" until post-war urban sprawl—punctuated by a hurricane and a freeze—wiped out the commercial karkady gardens about 1960.
The calyces mature during the long, hot days of summer, and the harvest begins in the autumn.
Leaves were eaten green or dry, cooked with onions and groundnuts [peanuts]." Leaves, seeds and calyces are used in Guinea as a diuretic and as a sedative.

Unlike the gonads which descend during development, the mesopnephric kidneys originate within the lower lumbar and sacral regions and "ascend" presumably due to a decrease in body curvature and a growth of the body in the sacral and lumbar regions.
