Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries (glomerulus) and a small tube called a renal tubule. Urea, together with water and other waste substances, forms the urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney.
Detailed explanation-2: -The renal papilla has collecting ducts, small openings that allow urine to pass through. From the collecting ducts, the urine progresses to the renal pelvis, a widened area of the kidney, and exits through the ureter. The urine passes through the ureters to the urinary bladder.
