Urinary system The female and male urinary system are very similar, differing only in the length of the urethra. Urine is formed in the kidneys through a filtration of blood. The urine is then passed through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored.During urination, the urine is passed from the bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body. 800–2,000 milliliters (mL) of urine are normally produced every day in a healthy human.This amount varies according to fluid intake and kidney function.uring urination, the urine is passed from the bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body. 800–2,000 milliliters (mL) of urine are normally produced every day in a healthy human.

Bladder The bladder is a hollow organ which lies in the pelvis and is responsible for storing urine. Urine is produced by the kidneys at a constant rate, flows down tubes called the ureters and is stored by the bladder. It is then passed through the urethra during urination. The bladder muscle contracts during urination. The bladder is made up of three layers.

Serious, irreversible kidney damage can occur because of this backflow of urine. Infection is also a common consequence in this stagnant urine.

- Answer by Alcarreau. Confidence votes 11.6K. The ureters are what carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. These are the mucous membrane-lined, muscular ducts that propel urine from the renal pelvis of each kidney to the bladder. They originate in the pelvis of the kidney, exit the hilum, and terminate in the base of the bladder in an area called the trigone.

Anatomy of the Urinary System Two ureters. These narrow tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Muscles in the ureter walls continually tighten and relax forcing urine downward, away from the kidneys. If urine backs up, or is allowed to stand still, a kidney infection can develop.

ureter [u-re´ter] the fibromuscular tube, 41 to 46 cm long, through which the urine passes from the kidney to the bladder. adj., adj ure´teral, ureter´ic.

Chapter 6-Organs of the Urinary System lowest part of the urinary tract, through which the urine passes from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. This narrow tube varies in length by sex. It is approximately 1.5 inches long in the female and approximately 8 inches in the male, in whom it is also part of the reproductive system. It carries seminal fluid (semen) at the time of ejaculation.
