The ureters (or urinary ducts) transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.

The urethra transports urine from the urinary bladder to outside the body.
The organs which produces urine are the kidneys. The last organ to hold/store urine before it is expelled from the body is the urinary bladder. The structures that transport urine are the ureters between the kidneys and the urinary bladder; and finally the urethra from the urinary bladder to outside of the body.
It is called the urethra.

What keeps urine from leaking?

The ureter tubes move urine from the kidneys to the bladder using something known as peristalsis. Peristalsis is a rhythmic and smooth contraction of muscle tissue to create a "wave." A good way to think of it is like squeezing tooth paste from a tube. It is due to this contraction of the muscles that pushes urine forward that it does not spill back in to the ureters.
