  Kidneys- This pair of purplish-brown organs is found in the middle of the back, below the ribs. Their purpose is to:
  * Remove all waste and drugs from your body.
  * Fluid balance in the body
  * Hormones are released to control blood pressure.
  * Control red blood cell production

  Ureter- Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through this narrow tube. The ureter walls’ muscles tighten and relax constantly, forcing urine downward and away from the kidneys. A kidney infection can develop if urine backs up or remains stagnant. Small amounts of urine are emptied into the bladder from the ureters every 10 to 15 seconds.

  Bladder- This hollow, triangle-shaped organ is found in the lower abdomen. Ligaments attached to other organs and the pelvic bones help keep it in place. To store urine, the bladder’s walls relax and expand, then contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra. The bladder of a healthy adult can hold two cups of urine for two to five hours.
