KIDNEY

• The urinary organs are the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra
• The kidneys are glands that secrete the urine
• The ureters are tubes, which convey the urine to the urinary bladder
• The urinary bladder is a reservoir for the urine
• The urine accumulates in the bladder and is then expelled through the urethra
