Accepted Answer

The ureter is a muscular tube that connects the kidney to the bladder. It is responsible for transporting urine from the kidney to the bladder for temporary storage before being expelled from the body through the urethra. Option A, the collecting duct, is a part of the nephron (functional unit of the kidney) responsible for final urine concentration. Option B, the renal capsule, is a tough fibrous layer that covers the kidney. Option C, the urethra, is the tube responsible for urine expulsion from the bladder. Option E, the fallopian tube, is a part of the female reproductive system responsible for carrying the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
