Which body part is involved in producing, storing, and discharging urine?

  1. Liver

  2. Lungs

  3. Kidneys

  4. Stomach

The correct answer is: Kidneys

The correct answer is the kidneys because they play a crucial role in the urinary system. The primary functions of the kidneys include the production of urine by filtering waste products from the blood, regulating electrolyte levels, and maintaining fluid balance within the body. Once urine is formed in the kidneys, it is stored in the bladder until it is discharged from the body through the urethra. The liver, while essential for various metabolic processes, is not involved in urine production. The lungs are critical for respiration and gas exchange and do not participate in the formation or discharge of urine. The stomach is primarily involved in digestion, breaking down food, and absorbing nutrients, rather than in the production of urine.
