Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nerves alert a person when it is time to urinate, or empty the bladder. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bladder’s walls relax and expand to store urine. They contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra. The typical healthy adult bladder can store up to 2 cups of urine for 2 to 5 hours. Two sphincter muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Urine is made in the renal tubules and collects in the renal pelvis of each kidney. The urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. The urine is stored in the bladder until it leaves the body through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-4: -After urine forms in the kidneys, it is transported through the ureters (one per kidney) to the sac-like bladder, which stores the urine until urination. During urination, the urine is released from the bladder and transported by the urethra to be excreted outside the body through the external urethral opening.

Detailed explanation-5: -All the muscles in your urinary system work together so you can urinate. The dome of your bladder is made of smooth muscles. You can release urine when those muscles tighten. When they relax, you can hold in your urine.
