Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the main components of the urinary system: kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Understand the function of each component: the kidneys filter waste from the blood, the ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder, the bladder stores urine, and the urethra transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
Review the statements provided in the problem and compare them to the known functions of the urinary system components.
Identify the statement that incorrectly describes the function of one of the urinary system components. Specifically, check if any statement incorrectly describes the path of urine transport.
Conclude which statement is incorrect based on the mismatch between the described function and the actual function of the urinary system components.
