Which of the following is the correct order of structures that transport urine from the collecting ducts to the urethra?

  • A. Collecting ducts, Minor calyces, Major calyces, Renal pelvis, Ureter, Urinary bladder, Urethra
  • B. Collecting ducts, Minor calyces, Major calyces, Renal pelvis, Urinary bladder, Ureter, Urethra
  • C. Collecting ducts, Major calyces, Minor Calyces, Renal pelvis, Ureter, Urinary bladder, Urethra
  • D. Collecting ducts, Renal pelvis, Minor calyces, Major calyces, Ureter, Urinary bladder, Urethra
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct order of structures that transport urine is from the collecting ducts to the urethra is A: Collecting ducts, Minor calyces, Major calyces, Renal pelvis, Ureter, Urinary bladder, Urethra. This is the correct order because urine is first collected in the collecting ducts in the nephrons, then flows into the minor calyces, major calyces, renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder, and finally, the urethra for elimination. The other choices are incorrect because they either reverse the order of the structures or place them in a different sequence than the actual physiological process of urine transport in the urinary system.
