The function of the urinary system is to filter blood and produce urine as a waste by-product. The kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and urethra are all organs of the urinary system.
Kidney – remove waste from the blood in the form of urine, maintain blood substance stability and control your blood pressure.
Ureter – are narrow tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The ureter walls’ muscles contract and relax, forcing urine down this tube and away from the kidneys.
Urinary Bladder – The bladder is a hollow triangle-shaped structure in the lower abdomen. The walls of the bladder relax and expand to hold urine and contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra.
