Which ureter is longer?

  1. Right

  2. Left

  3. Both are equal in length

  4. Varies person to person

The correct answer is: Left

The ureters are two muscular tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. While the right and left ureters serve the same purpose, they have slightly different lengths. The right ureter is shorter and wider, while the left ureter is longer and narrower. This difference in length is due to the placement of the right kidney, which sits slightly lower in the body compared to the left kidney. Therefore, the correct answer is B Left. Option A is incorrect because the right ureter is shorter. Option C is incorrect because the right and left ureters have different lengths. Option D is also incorrect because while the ureter length can vary slightly from person to person, the left ureter is typically longer than the right.
