It depends. You won't find this written anywhere, but there probably isn't a definition of the term "organ" that everyone agrees upon. Some would easily consider the urinary bladder an organ, since it serves a particular function that is of particular interest in medicine (storage of urine and release when appropriate). Some may find it difficult to apply the term to the ureters or urethra, because on the surface, these structures seem to be passive members of the genitourinary system -- they merely conduct fluid from one structure to the next. Others might be happy to apply the term "organ" more broadly, allowing it to include any structure -- the left ureter would be an organ, and the urethra too.
There's nothing wrong with any of these schemes, as long as you are consistent.

Well, blood could be called an organ. I can understand why someone would say that, but really, blood cells are part of the circulatory system, the heart would be the organ.
