Is urine continuously formed by the kidney and is routed down the ureters to the bladder by the mechanisms of peristalsis to a storage organ called the bladder?

Answer 1

The kidney is referred to as an excretory organ because it excretes (1) METABOLIC wastes. It is also a major homeostatic organ because it maintains the electrolyte, (2) WATER, and (3) pH balance of the blood. Urine is continuously formed by the (4) KIDNEY and is routed down th (5) URETERS by the mechanism of (6) PERISTALSIS to a storage organ called the (7) URINARY BLADDER. Eventually, the urine is conducted to the body (8) EXTERIOR by the urethra. In the male, the urethra is (9) 15 centimeters long and transports both urine and (10) SEMEN. The female urethra is (11) 3-5 centimeters long and transports only urine. Voiding or emptying the bladder is called (12) URINATION or MICTURATION. Voiding has both voluntary and involuntary components., The voluntary sphincter is the (13) EXTERNAL sphincter. An inability to control this sphincter is reffered to as (14) URINARY INCONTINENCE.
I think you are referring to the Urinary Bladder.
