Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the urinary system's primary function, which is to filter blood, remove waste products, and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
Step 2: Identify the organs that are part of the urinary system. These include the kidneys (which filter blood and produce urine), ureters (which transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder (which stores urine), and the urethra (which expels urine from the body).
Step 3: Recognize that the liver is not part of the urinary system. Instead, the liver is part of the digestive system and plays a role in detoxification, metabolism, and bile production.
Step 4: Compare the listed options (Kidney, Bladder, Ureter, Liver) with the organs of the urinary system. Note that Kidney, Bladder, and Ureter are all part of the urinary system, while the Liver is not.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is 'Liver,' as it does not belong to the urinary system.
