Which tube leads from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body?

Ureter Renal artery Renal vein Urethra

Correct Answer:

Urethra

Explanation:

Urine exits the bladder through the urethra. After the kidneys make urine, it travels down the ureters into the bladder to be stored, and then leaves the body via the urethra. The ureter carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, not to the outside. The renal artery and renal vein are blood vessels that supply and drain the kidneys, not urinary passages. So the tube from the bladder to the outside is the urethra. (In males, the urethra also carries semen, but for urine its role is the exit path.)
