Urinary

Systema urinarium

The urinary system filters blood to produce urine, removing metabolic waste products and excess substances from the body. It consists of two kidneys, two ureters, the urinary bladder, and the urethra. The system also regulates blood volume, blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and blood pH through selective reabsorption and secretion.
