Which organs comprise the urinary system?

• A. Kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra
• B. Lungs, heart
• C. Brain, spinal cord
• D. Stomach, intestines

Answer: (A)

The urinary system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood and produce urine. Urine travels through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored until it’s excreted via the urethra. The other options refer to different body systems: lungs and heart are part of the respiratory and circulatory systems; brain and spinal cord are the nervous system; stomach and intestines are the digestive system. So the first set of organs is the urinary system.
