Overview of Urine Transport, Storage, and Elimination

The urinary organs include the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

Ureters

The ureters are two tubes that drain urine from each of the kidneys into the bladder.

Urinary Bladder

The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular, and distendible or elastic organ that sits on the pelvic floor.

The urethra is a muscular tube that connects the bladder with the outside of the body and removes urine from the body.
