URINARY SYSTEM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Urine is transported from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body by the ____
A
urethra
B
ureter
C
renal pelvis
D
collecting duct
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: -The ureters are two tubes that drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Each ureter is a muscular tube that drains into the bladder. Smooth muscle contractions in the walls of the ureters, over time, send the urine in small spurts into the bladder, the organ where urine is stored before it can be eliminated.
