Urine travels from the kidney to the urinary bladder through which structure?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ureter is the duct by which urine passes from the kidney to the bladder.
The urethra is the tube through which urine is voided. In males, it is also the tube that semen flows through during sexual reproduction. Therefore, it is part of both the urinary and reproductive systems in males.
A nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidneys. Nephrons regulate water and other substances in the blood by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what the body needs to keep, and excreting the rest as urine. Its function is vital for homeostasis of blood volume, blood pressure, and blood plasma osmolarity (the electrolyte-water balance in your blood plasma).
The collecting duct system is a component of the kidney that influences the water-electrolyte balance (called osmolarity) in the body. The collecting duct system is influenced by the presence or absence of antidiurtic hormone (AHD). In the absence of ADH, water in the renal filtrate is allowed to enter the urine to be voided. When ADH is present, water is reabsorbed back into the body.
Below is a simplified diagram of the urinary system.
