ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Introduction. Urination or micturition removes metabolic products and toxic wastes filtered from the kidneys and is a vital function of the human body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Micturition is the act of passing urine. Also called urinating and voiding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Urethra. This tube allows urine to pass outside the body. The brain signals the bladder muscles to tighten, which squeezes urine out of the bladder. At the same time, the brain signals the sphincter muscles to relax to let urine exit the bladder through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-4: -From the calyxes, pee travels out of the kidneys through the ureters (pronounced: YUR-uh-ters) to be stored in the bladder (a muscular sac in the lower belly). When a person urinates, the pee exits the bladder and goes out of the body through the urethra (pronounced: yoo-REE-thruh), another tube-like structure.
