The urethra is the structure that releases urine from the body.
The Urinary System: A Quick Overview
To understand how the urethra releases urine, let's briefly review the urinary system:
- Kidneys: Filter waste and excess water from the blood to produce urine.
- Ureters: Tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
- Bladder: Stores urine until it's ready to be eliminated.
- Urethra: The tube through which urine exits the body.
According to the reference material, waste products and pee travel from your kidneys, through your ureters, to your bladder, which stores the pee. Then, pee leaves your body through your urethra.
