Question

Urine is transported from the kidney to the urinary bladder through a tube called the:

A) Urethra
B) Renal pelvis
C) Renal column
D) Ureter

Answer 1

The correct tube that transports urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder is the Ureter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D) Ureter.

The ureter is a tube that transports urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. It is one of the components of the urinary system. The walls of the ureter contain smooth muscle that helps in the peristaltic movement of urine. The renal pelvis is the area in the kidney where urine collects before it enters the ureter.

1. Figure 19.4.3: Urine collects in the renal pelvis which is continuous with the ureter.
2. Ureters are tube-like structures that connect the kidneys with the urinary bladder.
3. URINARY SYSTEM: The urinary system includes the pair of kidneys, which filter excess water and a waste product called urea from the blood and form urine. Two tubes called ureters carry the urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
