The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The statement claims that urine reaches the bladder from the kidneys through the urethra. We need to analyze the pathway of urine from the kidneys to the bladder. 2. **Pathway of Urine**: - Urine is produced in the kidneys through the filtration of blood in the nephrons. - Once the urine is formed, it does not go directly to the bladder. Instead, it travels through the ureters. 3. **Role of Ureters**: - The ureters are thin, tube-like structures that transport urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. - Each kidney has its own ureter, which connects to the bladder. 4. **Function of the Urinary Bladder**: - The urinary bladder is a bag-like structure that stores urine until it is ready to be expelled from the body. - It does not receive urine directly from the kidneys; it receives it from the ureters. 5. **Role of Urethra**: - The urethra is a channel that carries urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. - It does not transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the statement "Urine reaches the bladder from kidneys through urethra" is false. The correct pathway is from the kidneys to the ureters, and then to the urinary bladder. The urethra is involved in transporting urine out of the bladder, not from the kidneys to the bladder. **Final Answer**: The statement is false because urine reaches the bladder from the kidneys through the ureters, not the urethra. ---
