What kidney structure empties into the urethra?
The bladder empties into the urethra. The renal pelvis enters into the ureter. There is no kidney structure that empties into the urethra.
What does the kidney do with any excess water or chemicals?
They are dumped into the renal pelvis and then travel through the ureter to the bladder. They leave the body through the urethra.
What structure carries urine out of the kidney and where does its go?
Urine goes to the collecting duct then to the Renal Pelvis. Each kidney has one Ureter that carries Urine to the bladder. The urine from the kidneys flows down the ureters into the bladder and is then passed out of the body through the urethra.
What sequence shows the correct path of urine through the excretory system?
Only using the following: bladder, calix, collecting duct, distal convoluted tubule, glomerular capsule, glomerulus, nephron loop, proximal convoluted tubule, renal artery, renal pelvis, ureter, urethra, urethral meatus.
What is the difference between a ureter and a urethra?
Ureters go from the pelvis of the kidney into the urinary bladder. From the urinary bladder, the urethra is the tube that carries the urine to the outside the ureters are tubes that exit the kidneys at the Hilus, coveying urine into the bladder, approximatly 25cm long. The urethra exits the bladder and takes urine out of the body, in males it is approximatly 20 cm long, females 3-4 cm long. Ureter is the (tube) flow channel from kidney to bladder, Urethra is the (tube) flow channel from the bladder to the outside of your body.
Function of kidney pelvis?
It is a funnel type shape and it is part of the urethra in the kidney.
What is the path of urine through the body from its formation to its elimination from the body?
Glomerulus- Bowman's Capsule- proximal convoluted tubule- loop of henle- distal convoluted tubule- collecting tubule- calcyx- renal pelvis- ureter- bladder- urethra. Or more simply: kidney-ureter-bladder-urethra
What processes take place during the period after the blood enters the kidneys till the urine leaves the body?
Blood flows to the kidney through the renal artery. Once in the kidney the blood flows through a series of smaller and smaller arteries until it gets to the glomerulus. The glomerulus filters blood and to be very simplistic creates a filtrate of the blood or "urine". This urine then flows through a series of progressively bigger tubules and ducts until it gets to the renal pelvis. At this point urine exits the kidney, it enters the ureter (long tube connecting kidney and bladder), and flows into the bladder where it is held until one desires to urinate. At this time urine flows out of the bladder and into the urethra. The urethra connects the bladder to the outside of the body.
Where is prostate located?
The prostate is located at the base of the bladder and surrounds the first part of the urethra in the pelvis.
How urine is removed from the blood and then eliminated from the body?
Urine is formed in the kidneys, specifically by the renal tubules in the nephrons of the kidneys. It then is collected by the renal pelvis, where it exits though the ureters, moves to the bladder where it is stored until urination, during which it is expelled through the urethra.
Is an elastic muscular organ that holds urine?
It is the bladder.
What connects the kidney and urinary bladder?
The Kidneys are the filters of your body. The kidneys filter out waste, unneeded materials and excess water from the blood and prepares them to be excreted via the urinary system. Your kidneys are connected to a slender tube called ureters, The ureters connect to your bladder which houses the urine. Urine is excreted though the urethra.
