urinary tracts

Urine drainage systems

The urinary tract is the system of organs that produces and eliminates urine from the body—kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

The term appears most often in medical contexts, especially regarding infections: She's been treated for recurring urinary tract infections.

Usually plural even when referring to one person's system.
