The tubular organ carrying urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder is the ______.
A
urethra
B
nephron
C
collecting duct
D
ureter
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by identifying the function of each anatomical structure listed in the options. The urethra is responsible for carrying urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, not from the renal pelvis to the bladder.
Step 2: Understand the role of the nephron. The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and forming urine, but it does not transport urine to the bladder.
Step 3: Examine the collecting duct. The collecting duct is part of the nephron and collects urine from multiple nephrons, but it does not transport urine to the bladder.
Step 4: Focus on the ureter. The ureter is a tubular organ that connects the renal pelvis of the kidney to the urinary bladder, transporting urine.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is 'ureter' based on its anatomical function of carrying urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder.
