62
Q

What is an urinary bladder?

A

saclike muscular organ which stores urine.

63
Q

What is urine?

A

a liquid by-product of metabolism in humans and in many other animals. Urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the urinary bladder. Urination results in urine being excreted from the body through the urethra.

64
Q

what is excretion?

The elimination of waste products from the body.

65
Q

What are ventricles?

A

structures that produce cerebrospinal fluid, and transport it around the cranial cavity.

66
Q

What is an aorta?

A

the largest blood vessel in the body. They transport oxygen rich blood from your heart to the rest of your body.

67
Q

what are atria?

A

he two upper chambers in the heart, which receive blood from the veins and push it into the ventricles.

68
Q
