Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the function of each organ in the urinary system. The kidneys filter blood to produce urine, the ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, the urinary bladder stores urine, and the urethra is the tube through which urine exits the body.

Step 2: Recognize the anatomical order of these organs in the urinary system. The kidneys are located at the top of the system, followed by the ureters, which connect the kidneys to the urinary bladder. The urinary bladder is positioned lower in the pelvis, and the urethra is the final structure through which urine exits the body.

Step 3: Compare the options provided in the question. Evaluate each sequence to determine if it matches the anatomical order of urine flow: kidneys → ureters → urinary bladder → urethra.

Step 4: Eliminate incorrect options based on the anatomical order. For example, options that list the urinary bladder before the ureters or the kidneys after the ureters are incorrect.

Step 5: Confirm that the correct sequence is 'Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra,' as this matches the physiological pathway of urine flow in the female urinary system.
