Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by identifying the anatomical structures mentioned in the problem: the urethra and ureters. These are tubular structures involved in transporting fluids within the body.
Step 2: Recall the primary function of the urethra, which is to transport urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, and the ureters, which carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Step 3: Understand the system responsible for producing, storing, and eliminating urine. This system is known as the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Step 4: Eliminate the incorrect options by considering their functions: the digestive system processes food, the respiratory system facilitates gas exchange, and the endocrine system regulates hormones. None of these systems involve the urethra or ureters.
Step 5: Conclude that the urethra and ureters are components of the urinary system, as their functions align with the processes of urine transport and elimination.
