Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The urine passes through the ____ as it passes out of the body.
A
urethra
B
ureters
C
bladder
D
kidney
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -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.
