The urinary system, comprising the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, plays a pivotal role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, filtering waste products, and regulating blood pressure.
The kidneys filter blood to remove excess water, electrolytes, and waste, forming urine. This waste, along with excess fluids, flows through the ureters to the bladder for temporary storage.
The bladder gradually fills until it signals the brain that it’s time for elimination. The urethra then releases urine from the body.
The urinary system’s function maintains proper hydration, electrolyte levels, and waste removal, supporting overall bodily functions and contributing to homeostasis.
