The urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra, functions to filter your blood and removing waste and excess water through expelling urine from the body.The kidneys
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that remove wastes and fluid from your blood. Kidneys are primarily made up of simple cuboidal epithelial cells which helps in the kidney’s function to absorbing or secreting material into the ducts or tubes.Ureter
The ureters are two tubes inside your pelvis that carries urine from your kidneys to your bladder. Ureter is lined with transitional epithelium which helps its function to push urine from the kidneys to the bladder.Urinary Bladder
The urinary bladder holds the urine until it is to be emptied through urination. The urinary bladder is made up of transitional epithelial tissue which allows the bladder to expand to contain urine and to shrink when urine is released.REFERENCES:
