Renal artery

Ureter

Adrenal gland

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the primary function of each structure listed in the problem: The urethra transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, the renal artery supplies blood to the kidneys, the adrenal gland produces hormones, and the ureter transports urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Focus on the anatomical location and function of the ureter: The ureter is a tubular structure that connects the kidneys to the urinary bladder, allowing urine to flow from the renal pelvis to the bladder.

Understand the posterior-lateral view of the urinary system: In this view, the ureters are visible as they descend from the kidneys, running posteriorly and laterally toward the bladder.

Eliminate incorrect options based on their functions and anatomical positions: The urethra is not involved in transporting urine from the kidneys, the renal artery is a blood vessel, and the adrenal gland is an endocrine organ located above the kidneys.

Conclude that the ureter is the correct structure responsible for transporting urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder in the posterior-lateral view of the urinary system.
