What is the path of urine from the kidneys to outside of the body?

Kidney - Urethra - Bladder - Ureter
Kidney - Ureter - Bladder - Urethra
Kidney - Bladder - Urethra - Ureter
Kidney - Ureter - Urethra - Bladder

The correct answer is: Kidney - Ureter - Bladder - Urethra

The correct path of urine from the kidneys to outside the body begins at the kidneys, where urine is produced. It then travels through the ureters, which are tubes that connect each kidney to the bladder. Once in the bladder, urine is stored until it is ready to be expelled. When the bladder is full, urine exits the body through the urethra. This anatomical pathway reflects the correct sequence of structures involved in urine transport: kidneys → ureters → bladder → urethra. This order is essential for understanding the function of the urinary system. The ureters serve to convey urine away from the kidneys to the bladder, which serves as a reservoir. The urethra, being the last structure in this pathway, facilitates urine elimination from the body. Understanding this flow is important for comprehending key physiological processes as well as potential clinical conditions affecting urinary flow.
