Renin is a hormone secreted by the kidney.

Answer: D
 Urea and uric acid are waste products excreted by the kidneys.

Answer: E
 Ureters are muscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.

Answer: G
 The urinary bladder is a muscular sac that stores urine until it is released during urination.

Answer: H
 Urination (or voiding) is the process of expelling urine from the bladder through the urethra.

The other options, A and B, are not related to the urinary system. The term "medulla" refers to the inner part of an organ, such as the kidney or adrenal gland, and Na+ is the chemical symbol for sodium, an electrolyte that is found in blood and other tissues.
