Solution

The collecting system of the kidney includes the renal pelvis, minor calyces, major calyces, and proximal ureter. However, the renal pyramids are not part of the collecting system. They are part of the kidney structure where urine formation takes place, but they do not serve a role in the collection or transportation of urine. Therefore, the answer is "renal pyramids".
