Answer
The labelled diagram of the urinary system in humans is shown below:
The human urinary system consists of following parts:
- Kidneys — These are a pair of reddish-brown, bean-shaped structures that are located just above the waist on either side of the backbone. They filter the impure blood and produce urine.
- Ureters — These are narrow tubes that lead out from each kidney. These tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
- Urinary bladder — It is a pouch-like muscular structure in which urine is stored temporarily. In an adult male, the average capacity of the urinary bladder varies from 150 to 300 mL.
- Urethra — It is a tube-like opening at the bottom of the urinary bladder through which urine is passed out.
