Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the urinary system: The kidneys filter blood to produce urine, which is then transported to the bladder via the ureters.
Identify the structures involved in urine drainage: Urine is collected in the renal pelvis, which is connected to the ureters.
Clarify the role of the ureters: The ureters are muscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Eliminate incorrect options: The glomerulus is involved in filtration, not drainage. The renal cortex is the outer layer of the kidney, and the renal artery supplies blood to the kidney, none of which are directly involved in urine drainage.
Conclude that the correct structure for urine drainage from the area at 'C' is the ureter.
