The Tube That Carries the Urine Out of the Body

Question

The tube that carries the urine out of the body is called the
A) urethra
B) collecting tube
C) trigone
D) ureter

Accepted Answer

The urethra is the tube that carries urine out of the body, from the bladder to the outside. The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The collecting tube is not a specific term related to the urinary system. The trigone is a triangular area in the bladder where the ureters and urethra meet, but it is not the tube that carries urine out of the body.
