Renal system

The renal system, also known as the urinary system, is responsible for filtering blood and producing urine to remove waste from the body. It consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter out toxins and excess substances from the blood, balancing fluids and electrolytes. The urine produced travels through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored until released through the urethra. This system plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health by regulating blood pressure, electrolytes, and fluid balance, helping to keep the body functioning properly.
