B
glomerulus
C
urethra
D
Bowman’s capsule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of the detrusor muscle is to contract during urination to push the urine out of the bladder and into the urethra. The detrusor muscle will relax to allow the storage of urine in the urinary bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a person needs to pee, the bladder walls tighten and a ring-like muscle that guards the exit from the bladder to the urethra, called the sphincter (pronounced: SFINK-tur), relaxes. This lets pee go into the urethra and out of the body.

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: -1. The Two Urethral Sphincters Maintain Urinary Continence. The internal urethral sphincter and the external urethral sphincter both provide muscle control for the flow of urine. The internal sphincter is involuntary.
