Solution

Urine:

  1. Urine is the filtrate that remains after all of the phases of urine generation have been completed.
  2. Under the control of the neurological system, it is released from the urethra, which is located in the penis in males and straight to the exterior in females.
  3. Urine is a transparent yellow liquid with a pH of roughly 6, making it mildly acidic.
  4. The presence of urochrome, a pigment generated by the breakdown of hemoglobin, gives urine its yellow color.

Process of Urination:

  1. Urination, also known as micturition, is the process of excreting urine.
  2. Because sweating is reduced in the winters, more water is released in the form of urine.
  3. In the summer, the procedure is reversed, i.e. the amount of sweating is more so the urination is less.
