Organs of the Urinary System That are Actively Involved with Urine

Question

Organs of the urinary system that are actively involved with urine transport are the
A)urethra and ureters.
B)kidneys and bladder.
C)ureters and kidneys.
D)urethra and bladder.
E)kidneys and urethra.

Accepted Answer

The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, while the ureters are tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder. Therefore, both are actively involved in urine transport. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood and produce urine, while the bladder stores urine until it is ready to be eliminated from the body. However, the kidneys and bladder are not directly involved in urine transport through tubes.
