Which organ stores urine before it is excreted?

Explanation:
Storage of urine occurs in the bladder. It’s a muscular sac that fills as urine arrives from the kidneys via the ureters. When stretched, it signals the need to void, and the sphincters regulate release through the urethra. The kidneys continuously produce urine and do not store it; the ureters transport urine to the bladder; the urethra carries urine out of the body.
