Match the following parts of the urinary system with their descriptions:
Kidneys = On posterior abdominal wall, on each side of vertebral column, extends from level of 12th thoracic vertebra to 3rd lumbar vertebra Ureters = Muscular tubes that convey urine from the kidneys to urinary bladder Urinary Bladder = Stores urine excreted by kidneys before it is expelled through the urethra Urethra = Excretes urine from urinary bladder
