urinary system

The urinary system is responsible for filtering blood and removing waste through the production of urine. It consists of the kidneys, which filter toxins and excess substances; the ureters, which are tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder; the bladder, which stores urine until it's ready to be expelled; and the urethra, the tube through which urine exits the body. This system helps regulate fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and blood pressure, playing a vital role in maintaining overall health and homeostasis. Proper function of the urinary system is essential for detoxifying the body.
