Urine Passes Through the ________

Question

Urine passes through the ________.
A) glomerulus to ureter to renal tubule
B) renal pelvis to the ureter to the bladder to the urethra
C) renal hilum to the bladder to the ureter
D) hilum to urethra to bladder

Accepted Answer

Urine passes through the renal pelvis to the ureter to the bladder to the urethra before being eliminated from the body. The glomerulus and renal tubule are both parts of the nephron within the kidney, but they are not part of the pathway that urine takes to exit the body. The renal hilum is the entrance and exit point for blood vessels and the ureter in the kidney, but urine does not pass directly through it. The answer D is incorrect as the hilum is not a part of the route for the urine passage.
