Chapter 11 - Section 11.1 - The Urinary System - Check Your Progress - Page 220: 1

Answer

The urinary system organs include the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys are the primary organs of excretion. The ureters direct urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The urinary bladder stores the urine until it is released. The urethra is the small tube that extends from the urinary bladder to an external opening and allows the urine to be excreted.
